great work cousin John

Thanks to the Kennedy Family our heritage is in safe hands. Thank you for sharing this video.

Beautiful and informative video, well done, thankyou

Thank you for this very interesting video, please make more!

Great bit of history to share with family about where their Keaney ancestors are buried.

Very professionally done. Very informative thank you

Yuck .. ( really Yucky : not pleasant, like poo on your hands ) Quite a common word in South West Britain.. I also heard it used quite a bit in Co Sligo .

Very interesting part of history thanks for sharing remarkable people

Thankyou, that was so interesting and great depth of history

Fascinating and well done heritage film! This Keaney in Virginia, USA very much appreciates learning the history of this important place. Would love to learn more North Leitrim history from this series.

Thank you, interesting.

A grand film about a beautiful place of rest, which I have visited several times while holidaying near Blacklion.

There is one near Finnavara, Co. Care.. in the townland of Newquay. It's not identified on the online historic environment viewer... how can this be rectified?

My mother is Leitrim born.

This all sounds very familiar to me. My grandparents were from Drumkeeran Co. Leitrim on Lough Allen. They have passed for some 20 years + now… I just went last year to stay at their old home on the Lough. It’s beautiful with lovely kind people.

lovely chair design and craftsmanship, thank you

Lovely video. Well presented. Wran tradition and straw making still going strong in Dingle. Great to see the tradition going from strength to strength.

About the pronunciation of 'ea' in English versus Irish: TEA in English pronounced TEE; in Irish pronounced TAY. English poet John Keats (Keets); Irish poet W.B. Yeats (Yaytes).

Thank you for a very interesting talk. I grew up in County Cavan and we used nearly all the words and phrases that you talked about. I was interested that you mentioned the grape, that was also very familiar to me too. My father used to talk about carrying somthing under his oxter. I thought it was a word from around our area in Cavan but I loofrom West Australia.ked it up to find it was a real word. Thanks again Sean, from West Australia.

How very interesting! In Dutch and Afrikaans a page at a wedding is called a'strooijonker' or straw youth. Maybe there is a ProtoEuropean origin here😊

Will you come up to Dough Mountain and help up protect the area from Lissinagroagh Wind Farm. 18, 185 m all to be built on bog land. This is a great video.

CZcams, stop recommending this propaganda. Leitrim doesn't exist.

I can see sheemore from my house ❤

Love the hawthorns.

Great work George.

👏🏻

Fionnuala Maxwell, you covered a whole lot of ground in a short space of time there, a complete thesis in fact, which you should be merited with a Masters Degree. 👍

Yes brilliant presentation! I love this channel takes me back to when I visited there during the filming of Jimmy's Hall. I was taken to many passage tombs it was beautiful and I was so well taken care of by the beautiful local people, same in Wexford on my genealogical visit. Thank you🥰

People from Newry, County Down, were rudely referred to as ‘Newry Nucks’, the same sound as the Leitrim ‘nuck’ ’ or ‘knuck’ mentioned. A ‘git’ means the same as ‘get’ in the sense of ‘begotten’ so although used as an insult is actually neutral unless combined with E.g. ‘hoor’s get’ I.E. ‘whore’s get’. A ‘Tartar’ of a woman probably refers to the allegedly savage people of that country.

History is a complete lie we know this by the polygonal masonry around the planet and Ireland should be no different. There was an advanced civilization thousands of years ago that is way more advanced than we are today And there is a big? And the people in power do not want us to know

Are you allowed to visit the site?

Lovely!

What a fabulous video!! Hawthorn has arrived big time in my life this year. Lovely to see old tradition & reverence for nature being kept alive. Thank you do much.

Lovely hearing the cuckoo around 19 minutes in!

What a gangster John is.....

Oh lord.....

Would not agree or BELEAVE with all that is been said by that individual, do have your own opinion everyone is entitled to have that.

terrific

leitrim english very much also influenced by the form of english in ulster. leitrim was also planted during the same era as the ulster plantation. the leitrim towns of manorhamilton + jamestown are very much “ulster plantation” styled towns. remember too, the orange order + presbyterian churchs are widely present in leitrim.

WHO IS THE CHIEF OF THE ORUAIRC CLAN?

well done Fionnuala, wonderful singer & teacher, she has great insight into Leitrim Folklore .. Thoroughly enjoyed the few days in Drumshambo again this year...Mary S

If only the stones could talk, thanks for this beautiful piece of our ancestors story, !

Thanks very much for this. My father was born and raised in Newtowngore. I had cousins who lived near Arvagh, Longford, so I'm sure I drove near Killahurk. I am going to guess that the ringforts were also called faerie forts. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I remember my uncle bringing me to the top of a hill behind his house at the Tailor's Cross in Newtowngore and his pointing out a line of what he called faerie forts. If these are the same, my mother, who grew up in east Mayo near Bonnyconlon, told me that these forts were said to be haunted or maybe better said occupied by the faeries because there were stories of hearing noises and such coming from the forts. She thought that they were probably taken over by poor, suffering families who were evicted from their homes back in the 19th century which eventually gave rise to supernatural stories. And there are plenty of those stories in Ireland! Now I love the folk tales, but I am very glad to learn the real story about these places. Again, go raibh maith agat agus Liatroim ABU!

Ronan there was a sweathouse in the grounds of Newgrange,as a young child in about 1955,the old man who had the keys to the gate,that it was used for TB.patients and the fire and water that was poured over the stones would bring the health back to people.Later I asked why was it removed,but they were trying to tell me it never existed. Great information thank you.

The mummers tradition is an English import into Ireland from around 1700 and tended to be found in areas of English influence in the north and the west. It most definitely is not pagan in origin. Not surprising that the tradition also occurs in Newfoundland as the 17th to mid 19th centuries saw the arrival of many settlers from England and Ireland.

This is like Mary Black xx

How many pints did you buy for this smart leitrim leitrim when he spun you this story

In mayo these are lime kilns to burn limestone for fertiliser nothing to do with sweating

My family are from Leitrim. I want to go!

Lovely film and great work by a true craftsman , actually both Mr. Surlis and Mr. Perpoil. A simple but sturdy design, thanks to your presentation Rosa and the production crew for reviving parts of the original film as well, I'll be crafting several of these chairs for the family.
