    I agree about the lines & arrows - the page will be no less successful without them.

    Also agree about the hierarchy. It's almost as though you're moving towards a retained, boxed layout but without the boxes. Maybe try a landscape [golf] image too, mirroring the header? Even if it's a future option, it would show the new design is flexible.

    I'm guessing the photos aren't final, and open spaces are always going to be a selling point for Ireland, but some humanity would be nice to see. The header images could work much harder, I think they veer towards generic background when they could really add to the story.

    Liking the text styling, but another level/size would help the hierarchy issue, as would use of stronger colours.

    Love the map too.

    The logo is a bummer, but then improving these are what keep designers in business! If they won't budge, a more sophisticated pallette of greens would be a big improvement. And surely you can't use it at this size, the outer text is illegible. This is a big string to your bow for a discussion about a redesign, or at least an evolvement.

    Sorry, waffled on there. Hope that helps...
