I’m a cockney boy from London Islington.My family are from Connemara.please don’t let the tourists know about the most beautiful place in the world ( in the summer) .Good luck to the Irish people all over the world 🇮🇪that’s me cousin behind the bar in plunkets.joe Higgins a great man from a great family .
What beautiful lyrical and poetic voices and sang in the expressive manner of the Celtic tongue of Connemara telling and stories of fishing, seaweed farming and boating out on that wild Atlantic sea, fighting with fierce storm winds and battling high waves 12 stories tall.
It appears that this very fine man never stops working, rowing the wild Atlantic waves, fishing, harvesting seed weed, dancing, drinking, making poteen, looking over stone walls and all the way over to the far off shores of America, telling great true stories on my people. Long may those people live and enjoy life on those fine rock and wetlands in Connemara.
I can understand quite a bit of what those people are saying but I have only a few words on the Connemara Irish myself, The people who speak this language have the most poetic ways of talking, great expressions, most people talk like they are reading from a rare master book of the greatest poems ever written
Are there no women on that island? Here I am through Part 2, and I think I may have spotted one on the pier, but cannot be sure. If so, then she must be very popular.
No women left on the island. Actually, I'd say that there are no full time residents left at all at this stage (I may be wrong, it's been a while since I last visited. I hope I am wrong).
@@michealbreathnach2928 your not wrong. The last person to live on the island was Martín Colín in this video & was on the island alone for years. But there were women at one time my grandmother was born on the island John Bhabín was her brother.
@@antonym9278 well hello cuz nice to meet you Anthony. I’m crossing my fingers that Uncle Michel who immigrated to England is your grandfather, as he came home to Ireland in the summers & he was my favorite, so fun to be around. But there were 14 kids I believe in that house so there are unlimited possibilities! I hope that you are well!
I just stumbled in here out of idle curiosity from a link in the "Irish" section of the Duolingo Forums. Turns out my late Grandmother was born and raised on an island only about 10 miles away from this one called Mason Island (Oileán Máisean), just off the town of Carna, now uninhabited. She emigrated to the States in 1919. I remember her speaking Gaelic with her friend "Mary Fitz", also from the island. So, it's interesting to hear just that sort of Irish being spoken, even if I cannot understand even a word. Sadly, I never picked up any at all.

My grandmother and John Bhabín were brother & sister! John William was their first cousins. Their fathers were brothers Martín & William Seoige!! So I would say we are related
