I would be so honored to win the trip to experience the "Wild West of Ireland" and to take in all the beauty and splendor that it has to offer around every corner. To experience the Slieve League Mts., Achill Island, Connemara and The Burren would be absolutely breathtaking. A cruise up the Killary Fiord is an absolute must to take in the sites if the 12 Bens and…

Cork Harbour claims to be the second largest harbour in the world after Sydney, Australia.
On the east side are the ruins of Woodhill, the house to which Sarah Curran fled after the execution of her lover, Robert Emmet in 1803. Nearby is the ruin of Dundanion Castle from…

You may not think the words in the headline above belong in the same sentence nor that they have any particular Irish resonance, but history throws up some intriguing links sometimes. This one caught my eye a while back, but I think now is a fitting time to share…

My job is to facilitate networking between the freelancers and start-up companies who rent space in my office, making it easier for them to grow and collaborate together. In my spare time, I'm the volunteer Technical Director for Liberty Church NYC, and it's my job to raise up and train a volunteer team to run our lighting, audio, and projection systems every week. These may sound unrelated, but at the core, they are the same. It's my role, in all that I do, to personally invest in the…

....I was blessed in 2013 to enjoy a visit to Ireland. My daughter, Lisa, did her Geology Field Study at Petersburg in Clonbur. At that time, I was caregiver to my 95 year-old dad. My wonderful siblings decided that I should go meet Lisa! My dream was to see the Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands. (Silly Texan, I had no idea that there is SO MUCH more to Ireland!!!) She wanted to see Newgrange. Neither of us wanted to drive, so we used trains, busses, and taxis. It was a fabulous trip!! I…

Can a person feel connected to some place he or she has never been? Can the place of one's ancestors "call out" to a person from across the world...so that whenever you close your eyes, you feel swept away to those distant shores? Do I have entirely too much imagination? Probably. However, vivid imaginings aside, I DO feel connected very intimately to Ireland.…

I just learned this morning about this beautiful Irish community on line and joined immediately. I am a retired single woman living in Ithaca,NY and have always been eager to know more about my Irish heritage.I grew up in Oswego,NY ,a city perched on Lake Ontario(one of the Great Lakes) and loved living next to a body of water. It's not the Ocean but it has its own allure--lots of grey skies and windy,rainy days. I love the very thought of Ireland and all it has to offer! I hope to learn so…

Ireland - land of my grandparents. I have been trying, for most of my adult life, to see Ireland in person and have yet to do so.
I am of Irish heritage by three of my four grandparents and while I can identify the Counties that they come from I can only clearly identify one city, for sure, where a grandparent lived. My Nana immigrated, to America, from Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland in the late 1880's. With the…

The wildest county in Ireland's "Wild West" is little known to a lot of visitors to Ireland, because it's not on the well- worn, u-shaped trail that many tourist take between Shannon and Dublin. That's a reason why Donegal's blend of mountains, lakes and seacoast have…

I sometimes think that, when words fail, art can find expression for feelings that have no words. And art is especially good for remembering those who have gone before...

One of the features of the landscape is the extensive bogland, which nature was indeed very generous in allocating to the Inishowen Peninsula of Co Donegal. The presence of these tree remains, found in the course of cutting turf, is evidence of the existence in the remote past of great forests of Fir and Oak. It is also this bogland that gives Mary the…
