This is such priceless, interesting & wonderful viewing, but equally, so sad to be reminded of what the British did in Ireland & what they did to the people who lived in Ireland & here in the West. The unnecessary cruelty, brutality, pain & hardships that they brought to so many Irish peoples. IMPO, I think it's one of the greatest shames & to this day, Ireland's never fully recovered from those days. I'm heading to Ireland end of this year, so I'm very much looking forward to my visit & my time there & I long to spend precious time with Ireland's wonderful inhabitants. Thanks for sharing this.
What utter rubbish ! You need to do some proper research and you will discover that the British developed and improved the lives of the vast majority of the populations of the countries in the British Empire. (in particular India).
Walking all the day, near tall towers Where falcons build their nests Silver winged they fly They know the call of freedom in their breasts Saw Black Head against the sky Where twisted rocks they run down to the sea Living on your western shore Saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea And sang a song for Ireland
This is my favourite song about Ireland.my Grandparents came over to England in 1901 from Galway and settled here.my Father was one of five Brothers.i kept the family name as I never married.ive been over many times .to try and trace any family.i would love to live there but it's too late now.a beautifull place.
There is a rear and great beauty all around Connemara also its people, I know two very great people who came from Connemara my dear departed Mother & Father so I can always return to those lands and feel total at home there
if you go there you'll never forget it, lived in Inverin 4 years one of the best times of my youth. the milk straight from the cow the home made the butter fresh eggs real eggs the home made bread that taste like cake, new small potatoes boiled lump of butter on them. picking winkles, days on the bog bottle of tea in a woolen sock and sandwiches ham corned beef egg. a special place
Iv been going here and there in Connemara since I was a kid…working with Corbett’s delivering furniture ect. Truly enjoyed this beautiful video Would love to know what part of Connemara it was filmed in
I was wondering the same thing just now, but I'm guessing this may have been filmed in the late 70s &/or early to mid 80s, or thereabouts. I'm not 100% sure of it was filmed in the 70s, but in my humble opinion, it appears to be more so the early 80s. Initially I thought it was all filmed in the 70s, but if you look @ many things within this video, such as the general dress & use of appliances within the kitchen, etc; it spells more so, the early 80s.
The word "MARA" is taken from the Irish word that means the sea & that is....."MUIR" . Connemara can very well be translated as the "Conmhaícne tribe", who lived/live by the sea. Connemara's archaeology dates back 1000's of years, so there's much early history dotted around, specifically beneath the earth's surface.
