- Inis Oírr lies 6 miles off the coast of Connemara. With over 250 inhabitants it is the smallest of the three Aran Islands. While embracing progress and change, this rocky outpost has managed to retain much of its traditional island way of life. Inhabited by communities whose everyday language is Irish, the Aran Islands are immediately striking for being a desert of rock where there is scarcely any shelter, no mountains or woodland to be found. What pasture there is has been largely man made. James Joyce once wrote that these islands could be the place to go to find the real Ireland -- something that has particular resonance today. Filmed from January to December 2010, "Bliain In Inis Oírr" is a four part series that follows a diverse mix of individuals living on the island. From new-comers to those who have lived there for generations, audiences will be given an insight to day-to-day island life and the reasons why each of these people has chosen to make this magical, yet harsh, place their home. Each of the four episodes features one particular season, highlighting seasonal activities and festivals as well as the passage of time through the changing weather and vegetation of the island.
I'd really love it if they made another one of these to show how life on the Island has changed (if at all) over the last ten years
Good job by the thatcher!! What a wonderful woman !!
I went Inis Oírr last year. I fell in love with it I hope to live there some day.
I so love beautiful Éire & it's wonderful & welcoming peoples. X
Mar A dúirt mé go minic, tur dom cúpla nóiméad ag éisteacht le Gaeilge a bheith ag labhairt, Agus beidh mé ar ais a bheith í a labhairt freisin. Cinnte go bhfuil sé sin fíor leis an chlár sin, GRMA!
Lovely to watch, a place I will probably never visit in my life, and yet, here you've brought it to me! Thank you for sharing!!
I hope one day you will visit us in ireland
This is how life should be 🙏
Visited twice! I hope to be back after covid!!!
This is for the Lady doing the Thatching, Boy , did you do an excellent job, l have watched this Video 3-
More times very enjoyable. I live in the USA. , next time I'm in Eire 💚l would love to visit. 💛
Would have been there Covid , got in the way,
Hope 2023 will be a better year please God
Stay safe all of you, keep up all the great work. Thanks for the Joy of this Video.
Ba mhaith liom a bheith i mo chonai ansin!😊
That was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You're welcome.
This is just brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Very interesting, intriguing, special & very educational.
The lady who rethatched the roof, just Wow!!! A very special skill & she did an amazing & beautiful job.
My Irish Uncle was telling me recently, in "his exact words", "that more Thatching jobs are urgently sought after these days, so I do hope that more young Irish men & women, will be trained by the very few, to give the job a try & all the while, maintaining a very important & beautiful part of Ireland's culture/heritage.
Otherwise, the very sad, but slow disappearance of the traditional thatched cottages as we all know them to be, may eventually become just a distant memory. Many of the older generation have passed away, so more young men/women are now required, to take on the job that our ancestors did every day. It's an expensive upkeep & insurance companies won't cover thatched roofs, with the exception of only 1 or 2 companies abound".
As the daughter of Irish/Scottish parents, this girl's always loved her family's ancestral homeland & this viewing has truly made my day!
I once lived/worked in India, but with now living in Australia, this influenced me to start learning hard, the Irish language & I do so, because of my own ancestral ties to Éire & Because I wish, to be one of the smaller percentage of people globally, who wishes to maintain/preserve such a beautiful & ancient language.
To maintain one's early traditions & culture is very important, because if ever lost, it's forever gone.
Later this year, we'll be heading to Éire, then onto the Aran Islands, as I've longed to visit the Aran Islands for over 20 yrs now.
Finally, my dream will come to fruition.
go raibh maith agat as a roinnt.❤

wow man...made my life..
Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....
Thank you so very much.
Great, really appreciate it.
That´s the life ! Or it ought to be ...
I can hear some similarities with Scandinavian languages, like Swedish; the way some words are pronounced
Very Nice and it still shows the stupid rules imposed on Natives by people in Brussels, The EU should not be allowed
to dictate to local Traditions.
The EU is antithetical to tradition, local or otherwise. People in this postmodern world need to realize that rejecting tradition, good traditions, is rejection of identity, purpose and reason for being.
Ireland is one of most enthusiastic enforcer of EU rules and regulation among all EU members. It has something to do with post colonial mentality, and need for an overseer
caithfidh mé a rá, bhain mé taitneamh as an chlár sin
iontionach gu leor, bha dha sheorsa gaelige ann, aon mar gaeilge alba agus eile mar gaeilge baile atha cliath
go raibh maith agat!! ta se hiontach
very nice
Go hiontach! Slan beo leis an Ghaeilge!
You should add subtitles in Irish for a better understanding for those who learn the language!
Do you know how long it would take to write subtitles for every video I have on here?
@@AnGhaeilge Well... It is a slow work! But I'm trying to learn Irish (and I live in Catalonia!) and it would be easier for me and for those who are learning it! By the way... An bhfuil Gaeilge agat?
Tá gaeilge agam =)
@@AnGhaeilge I quit learning Irish... I didn't find any other sources than duolingo, so...
@@lluiscornet9020 Nemo has a fairly good app. When I initially downloaded Memrise, Irish was not an option but somehow it showed up when I tried once again to find it. it is linked to Duolingo but has many different native speakers saying the words. Also, I found an actual live class by going to www.daltaí.com.( only one teacher from Spain, but apparently does Skype) I wish I had given as much effort to learning Spanish as I have lately with learning Irish. I kept wanting to give up, too but now I am in it too much.
It should be.

Whats a Leaving Certificate?
High school diploma.
Once a kind emigrants springboard saying
"You have, unlike unlucky others, an education now go."
It’s like gcse or A level at age 18

Nach breá an saol atá acu ar an oileán. Agus nach deas cineálta iad na daoine. Go leanfaidís dilids don saol agus don sibhiaktacht seo go deo.

The thatcher has balls and a pretty face

Co an Chlár
Studying Ghaeilge for two years, and I might get one word out of every sentence if I really try.
Depressing ain't it... languages should be taught from birth, so much easier that way
@@thadtuiol1717 it would be much nicer if I could just take a pill and have the language a few hours later.
Haha its ok don't worry once you get the bite of it she'll role of your tongue and the words will be like music to your ears
I hope the Dublin teacher has worked more on the basic phonetics of the language. He's a teacher in a Gaeltacht like.
His towny Irish "effiguil", is absolutely Brutal!
@@lmtt123 Erra he's not the worst I suppose, but I'm always dumbfounded by teachers replacing 'ch' with K's and other things like that. Like it would be a start if at least teachers were familiar with the basic sounds of the language and the basic phonetic differences between Irish and English.
What chance to students have to pick up the languages sounds if the teachers aren't using them?
@@cigh7445 thank god I learned the proper phonetics. And not what the teacher will learn me this year
Hes helping keep the language beo, gan é , bfheidir nach mbeidh seans ag na scoláirí eolaíocht a fhoglaim, tabhair seans Don fhearr.
A foreigner doing what the islanders should be doing themselves, but what's new ? I refer to the thatcher.
We are foreigners in our own country now.
No we are not.
@@AnGhaeilge Ye we are Kalgeri plan is in effect throughout Ireland an Europe Islam being thought in Christian churches wake up
Paul D we sure are Ireland for the Irish all they can call ye is racist for being proud of our little island and culture Bás na hÉireann go dtí an bás
No, we are not.
@Tadgh Michael Tobin jr
Aye 🇮🇪!!
Kindest regards and peace to thee, fren!
NOBODY IS READING THE BIBLE , JUST QUOT;S OF ROME.
I know this is way too late to be saying this, but Ireland should leave the EU.
Sad but true!
