    Description

    Welcome!

    I'm Ray Hughes. During the summer season, I take my ice cream van to the beach, which is just a short walk from my home.

    I live in Dookinelly, a small village located on Achill Island, a beautiful island in Ireland with impressive cliffs, dream beaches and everything within the Irish culture. In summer, the town is full of life and there are always plenty of activities to do.

    We open the doors of our house, so that you become part of the family, we are always willing to share different cultures, languages and meet new people. Additionally, I have two dogs, Lucy and Noa, who are part of the family.

    If you're passionate about customer service, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, and have a love for exploring new cultures, we'd love to hear from you! Join us and be part of something truly special on Achill Island.

    We can't wait to welcome you to our team!
