Global media star Oprah Winfrey is understood to have flown into Ireland West Airport Knock this morning (Monday), ahead of a series of engagements in the west of Ireland.
The American television host, producer and businesswoman is understood to be viewing property in Cong, Co Mayo, and Ballinlough, Co Roscommon, during her visit to the region.
Winfrey is due to travel onwards to Dublin later today, where she will appear at the 3Arena tonight for Up Close With Oprah Winfrey, a special live conversation presented by Pendulum Summit and Front Row Speakers.
The one-night-only Dublin event will see Winfrey take part in an intimate conversation hosted by David Meade, with a special musical performance by Niall Breslin also on the bill.
