Image
Das vor Charakter überschäumende Irland lädt Sie dazu ein, das Land jedes Mal ein wenig mehr zu entdecken. Um diese berühmten 100.000 Begrüßungen selbst zu erleben. Um in unseren Städten und Dörfern zu verweilen. Um die Ausgelassenheit zu erleben, die von jeder pflastersteinbesetzten Ecke und von jeder mit Lachen gefüllten Kneipe herüberschallt, im Takt traditioneller irischer Musik, die überall gespielt wird, wenn wir in der Stimmung dazu sind.

The volunteer-run farm where Ireland's mistreated horses are nursed back...

Image
Deborah Kenny and the volunteers at My Lovely Horse Rescue are on a mission: to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home abandoned or mistreated horses, ponies and donkeys around Ireland. "Since I've been a kid I've seen it happen," she says, "kids having horses tied up, not being fed, no water." TheJournal.ie​ visited their farm in Co Kildare, run by unpaid volunteers, where they take care of the horses and other animals.

Ronan Browne: Port na bPúcaí on the Irish pipes

Image
This is the beautiful air Port na bPúcaí (The Music of the Fairies) from the Blasket Islands. It was said that islanders heard a mystical music and, thinking it was disquieted spirits, they made this air using the notes they heard in an attempt to placate the unhappy ghosts. Recent thinking suggests that they were, in fact, listening to whale-song reverberating through the canvas hulls of their boats. In the mid 1990s I went rooting through some cassettes of whale song and there in the middle of the Orca (Killer Whale) section I heard the opening notes of Port na bPúcaí! This air has been a favourite of mine since I first heard it played by Seán Potts and Paddy Moloney on their 1974 Claddagh LP. It sounds gorgeous on my old 1840/50s Harrington union pipes; the regulators, unable to provide "safe" accompaniment and resorting to discord, paint a fitting seascape for our king Dolphin! This video was filmed by Fionnula Flanagan during a concert of Róisín Elsafty, Siobhán ...

GAA is ‘booming’ in France

Image
One thousand players have registered to play Gaelic Games in France, largely thanks to a successful long-term growth strategy in Brittany. ‘It’s huge’, says Wicklow-born Anna Marie O’Rourke who is the European GAA Health & Wellbeing Officer and a driving force with the Rennes club. ‘Brittany is one of the hotspots in Europe’. Speaking at the recent European Finals in Maastricht, where Rennes fielded four adult men and womens teams, O’Rourke put the success down to the ‘Celtic Connection’ and getting into the schools system a decade ago. ‘I’m proud to be part of this from the very beginning’. Victor Jallou from the Lorient GAA club also features in the report.

How to make the perfect Irish Coffee

Image
Everyone loves an Irish Coffee, but it has to be perfect – especially when friends and family are gathered around you! Here we have a step-by-step video on how to make it just right. The recipe used is straight from Foynes, where this deliciously warming drink was invented! This decadent drink was invented in County Limerick in 1942 by Chef Joe Sheridan at Foynes Port, where planes on route from Europe to America would stop to refuel. Whipped up one cold winter’s night as a warming treat for passengers who were delayed due to bad weather, the late night tipple went on to become a classic. According to legend, a hush came over the crowd as the group took the first taste. “Is this Brazilian coffee?”, someone asked. “No," replied Joe, "that's Irish Coffee."
