    A man that possessed such integrity. A human quality not always seen today.
    I thank God for the gift of your life.

Peader was there for the pregnant cow to help her birth the heiffer. He was valuable and precious to his kin. What a loss, but a good life lived, only a heartbeat of it in this video. Thanks for sharing, RIP. Peader.✝️

    Just look around at the beautiful area and scenery made by God above so helped by this man and many thousands of other people's hands over many years, they built those stonewalls and homes that will last for thousands of years to come, their lives were hard but also very good lives, their wars were bad weather, poor quality land, some hunger and after sadness for family members who emigrated and never returned, those people had many other good things happening which made their lives peaceful, brought them near to God and blessed. Talamh Pheadair is resting in eternal peace in heaven and having the greatest time telling other people his stories when he worked the hard and beautiful lands of his home place Inis Meán on the Aran Islands, off the coat of Clare, Galway city, and Connemara

      @@alllovingcowherdboy4475 "software" as we understand it is a useful metaphor for how DNA encodes the proteins that drive biological processes. But like any metaphor it has its limits and at some point the metaphor breaks down. DNA does not need to be "encoded" by an intelligent designer. Random variation of said genetic code along with a feedback mechanism (our environment and whether or not organism survives and procreates) is all that is necessary for very intelligent designs to occur. The fact that there is anything here at all really is amazing. Whether you attribute that to "God" is up to yourself but what is most certainly not true is the stories we humans tell ourselves about this God or Gods. Be it Islam, Christianity, Judaism, it's all just a bunch of Iron age or Middle age collection of fairy tales, and fairy tales that cause many problems in this world. Is there a God? Who knows. Is religion X the one true religion? almost certainly not!

    It's so wonderful to listen to Peadar speaking Irish & I do hope that more young people learn this ancient language, as to keep it alive & well. I myself have been learning for many years now & I can speak some Irish. I know my ancestors spirits are proud to know.
    I thank God for the life of Peadar & for his life's legacy.
    His death was very sad & what a true loss, but we got to witness a very wee part of Peadar's life, through this intriguing & enjoyable documentary.
    RIP Dear Peadar.🙏

    I believe that I may be related to Peadar we share the same last name, (O'Conghalaigh translated Connolly) also my Grandfather was born on inis meain. However, similar last names were common and i guess islanders would be referred to by thier father/husbands name. I just need someone's help to verify if I'm correct, but in the closing credits it says "Le Peadar Mhici bhi." Im not sure but i think that is his "island name" opposed to his official last name which was on his coffin.
