Catherine Martin are you saying RTE is INDEPENDENT??? RTE is LEFT WING: "what matters is that we deliver a funding model that is sustainable, protects media independence and is publicly acceptable.”

how beautiful

I looked up to see if I could find any press to explain why I am finding it so hard to make a living as a professional trained artist with disability living in Ireland. I found this amazing post that explains everything in words better then I could write to explain what I already know is unfortunately true from my own difficult experiences: An article posted on reddit, by an unknown Irish artist, July 2023. Unbeknownst to most of ye, Irelands art scene is massively corrupt and prone to all the sins we are used to with government corruption. Favouritism, cronyism, elitism and its all funded through the tax payer. Most of you don't know through lack of interest which is understandable, but most of Irelands art industry is supported through non profit organisations which are funded through the government. Most ordinary people would believe that our art industry is run through a prism of the most worthy, talented or hard working and done in favour of what is in demand for sale and profitable. It is not. Money is funnelled to people called curators, who run artists organisations and art spaces and they do not care about artists in their local communities or their survival. These curators are not being funded to create a for profit business. That is irrelevant to them and their funding. Its not a case of picking artists who will sell art. Its being funded to basically bolster the careers and self importance of these curators experiences and CV's. Its a Black hole of transparency and fairness of public funding for the whims of these middle men in pursuit of bigger and better reputations. Not to support them as art dealers selling art. Profit is not a goal. Especially when public funding is the income. Grants are the income. Not the sale of Art. Art sales are a happy bonus secondary to the grants. These people are being given free reign to live out their personal dreams that do not benefit the artists living in those communities. All this is fine as a private citizen except for the fact most of them are absolutely state funded. They use these funds to pick artists that promote their personal beliefs or political viewpoints that benefit their careers as curators and in most cases it absolutely ignores the artists in their vicinity. Art panels, who in some cases decide who gets opportunities that could benefit local artists, pick people who they have personal and professional relationships with to the detriment of hard working artists. There is absolutely no oversight or fairness. This begs the question of what is the point of working hard if you can just charm the right people to by-pass effort. Opportunities to artists are being given to those who have licked enough holes as opposed to those who are hard working and passionate. Its all government funded to strengthen the arts but it absolutely doesn't benefit most artists and their is no transparency in any decision making that involves the use of public funds. By the way, its so bad that no Irish artist would publicly give this type of criticism or be associated with it because we are terrified of the ramifications on our careers.

... and in the uK service design is defined by Tech. What happens to service design if we remove the restriction of tech and digital? We can then design services that are defined by people, not within tech.

Yes farming has been here for generations and is exactly the reason why we have no forests - only fields and hedge grows.

I love this. My grandparents' people (Regans, McMahons, Barrys - Limerick and Dromcollogher) passed down whispers of the bog life, but nothing more. Agree that we no longer cherish those who make and fix things. Those skills are endangered. Lovely video, thanks.

Magical🎉

Did she figure out what the definition of a woman is yet?

Beautiful (visually, musically and lyrically)

I loved watching it again tonight

What utter simplistic nonsense farming has been here for generations, thousands of years the oaks he references are dating back to the dinosaurs where we had a very different climate. Take a look at the soy canola and lentil producers in America and Canada millions of hectares covered in one monoculture to serve the booming misinformed vegan network . Yes we have to do our part for biodiversity and we do, however more and more are becoming disillusioned with not getting recognition for what we do do.

Beautufull thinking Listen

Just a lovely video with a great man whom Mary and I have seen on stage many times. I also try to ignore politicians but most importantly place great hope in young people. We’re blessed to be in a country where they can live happy and get on with their lives.

Thank you...

Moore's talent is unquestionable. I love his style. But he has made it his life-quest to be a professional whinger. Constantly denying that the Catholic Faith is intrinsic to the Ireland he loves; the Church did this, the Church did that, blah blah blah, all because he doesn't want to get off his arse and change his own personal life ...And also, why doesn't he go and live in one of the many Marxist utopias that he celebrates?

The hearth staying alight for 300 years is quite a continuity. Amazing wee commentary from a great songwriter.

A very truthful point at the end of the video.

Tiobraid Aráin, huh?

Magical, I'd love to know which beach you filmed it on?

First seen this on " A note for nature" on RTE. Absolutely class. Well done ladies!

0:31 The Grove Ballroom - Bonniconlon. Built by Martin Judge in 1950, has attracted some of Ireland's top bands over the years

🎉

The Whole documentsry needs an award .Tremendous documentary ..THANKS RTE..MUSIC AND ARTISTS ARE BRILLIANT xxx

Sounds like an outtake from Tiptoe! 😮

If only it was easier to get through to people that the real world was out there in all the complex life with specific niches in their ecosystems, whether it's the woods or the soil, and not our silly little human world we've built up inside reality.

AOIBHEANN IS MY BROS FRIEND HAHAHAHAA

Le epic

Love the sound track, bits and pieces of this and that. Years back I use to know these characters (Bobby, Paddy, Drew & Casey) and they rode those horse and buggy's around central park to make a few bob. Not to get rich or anything just to make a few notes to put into their pockets and have a good time. Never could figure out what they were really sayin except they seemed to be callin everyone "Hosses!" And so, this work reminds me of Them Hosses!

Gorgeous. Thank you for posting this ❤️

Powerful words and imagery Laura evoking thought

What incredibly powerful imagery and senses evoked through your channeled imbas! I was thoroughly moved by the profound message in your poem. Deeply inspired will I move through my day now that the drum beat of the bodhrán has set my mind alight! Beannachtaí! /|\

What a beautiful project. Thank you.
