I stayed in Bray twice in 1982, at a B&B run by a lovely elderly lady. When I told her my great-grandparents were Irish from Cork, she suddenly made me feel like family, even had scones and tea with her in her private sitting room while watching the BBC news with her. She and I actually corresponded a few times after I had returned to New York. I did a lot of hiking about the town and up into the Wicklow Mountains which I found breathtaking. I also attended Mass and really, just made myself at home with my lovely host. I was a young guy in my twenties and it was a wonderful trip. Perhaps one day I'll make the trip again. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it too.

Сколько людей живет в Лисморе -Ирландия ?

That's not Irish dance plus the pronunciation is brutal!

I know Sligo because of Westlife

Beautiful 😊❤

Lived in IE for 9 years, Baltimore, Bantry and Glengarrif...magic

"Folklore" from PS3 notice me about that beautiful place 😍

My Hometown Sligo I Love it So Well!!! Sligo Sham!!⛄⛄🎄🎄

This a very poor video. Most of these clips don't match the narrative. A lot of the clips of Sly Road are not Sky Road and the random shot of Wardes shop in Galway city is ridiculous to name a few.

In what way is it 'secret'? These clichés are far too common on KZbin.

It was an engineered genocide. May God Almighty protect Ireland from any evil harm. Aameen

Just one thing: there is WATER all around Ireland (read: fish and the rest of the edible marine fauna)...... and they were starving (...) Hard to fathom...

It was GENOCIDE

Beautifully done video - really does bring this tragic story to life.

My mother's grandfather came over from County Mayo in 1850. He ended up in Chicago and had my grandfather and three great aunts once in America.

😢

They're surrounded by water. Nobody thought about fishing 🎣

The Great Irish Famine was such a dark period in history, and this video does a fantastic job of portraying the immense hardships faced by millions. It’s both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. Thank you for bringing this story to life.

American accent again...

You think the English & Scots were bad, just wait for the Muslims to take over 😕

We have a pub in my area called "The Brian Baru," it's great to know more about the history behind the name.

What an impressive production, thank you. I really appreciate the excellent graphics and wonderful narration. What a shame such a gifted and important man was cut down in the act of prayer; a dishonorable act by the Vikings, to say the least. Indeed, their entire campaign was dishonorable.

Sloithar is pronounced slither!😂😂

The are called Earls but are Prince's in their own Country before the Crown changed their titles.

English just big greedy bullies.

Thank God still irish gaelic speaking in Ireland so still alive and kicking

Perhaps The Biggest event in The History of Ireland. Englands Plantation of Ireland had dire consequences on the country and still does to this very day. What fallowed was pure Hell for so many. It sowed the seeds of Division and War. The country still hasn’t recovered from it yet and it’s still not whole. The English have a lot to answer for

The bigger army was the decisive element in waR. It was never any different.. if Ireland wanted to defeat England it would have needed to align with France or Spain. The French were always game for a fight with the English. ANYWAY we all wet backwards with that turd Devalera.

Strange, theres ONeils in Portugal from many centuries... like Alexandre O'Neill, the poet. We know he has Irish origins.His ancestor João O'Neill (Irish: Seán Ó Néill) had emigrated from Ireland in 1740. He lived in Porto and Minho.

Is this on netflix

The kingdom of Dalriada Consisted of North Antrim, The Western isles and the west of Scotland. One people. The Ulster Scots are not all planters. The ignorance and lack of historical knowledge is what has fed the divide. The Sorley Boy McDonnell was an amazing man and Ulster Scot here in Dalriada.

Now our own government wish to erase the irish.

Imagine if the O'Neills etc came back to claim their lands. Did this happen anywhere??????????????????

The Plantation of Ulster, the greatest la d grab in European history.

Man since 1992 it seems like it doubled in size.

Katie Taylor is from Bray - World Champion Boxer - t'was on the streets of Bray that she first learned to fight LOL !

Shit

so ... only Americans suffer from ptsd and their soldiers? this video is garbage, and obviously propaganda.

A reply to a comment. Thanks for sharing your views and your comment. Yes the alliances between the various Irish Nations were indeed complex and changed over time, but at no period was there a sovereign Irish government ruling the Island of Ireland. All the ducking and weaving in the world won’t change that fact. The English ruled Ireland by conquest and set out to ethnically cleanse the Irish nations into one nation loyal to them. Your comments on the English Pale in Leinster are a gross understatement of the role of the English invaders in this region. It is called a Pale because of the ditch and bank defence structures used to keep the Irish out. The “Statutes of Kilkenny”, passed by a Dublin administration, not London, demonstrate the extreme measures taken to exclude anything Irish from contaminating the English settlers of the English Pale, and its capital Dublin. The English Pale continues in its expansionist ambitions, targeting the last surviving Irish nation, Ulster. It is a betrayal of our Irish ancestors to use English propaganda to rewrite our history, so the current trend to distort historical facts to fit a political agenda, is a gross betrayal of Ireland. Thanks again for your comments.

The flight of the Earls was the final defeat of an independant Ulster that had existed for centuries after the defeat of the Southern Irish by the English in the English Pale. Ulster had never been part of any sovereign Irish government, had always been independent, until conquered by the British. After the flight of the Earls. Dublin in the English Pale Kingdom of Leinster supervised the Ulster plantation ethnic cleansing of the Northern Irish, initially with English settlers which failed, eventually resorting to importing relatives of the Northern Irish, the Scots. Freedom for Ulster would be its own government free of English, Dublin and London proxies. Check the actual Irish history, not the Leinster English Pale version, invented to eradicate the Irish Nations once and for all.

Your country needs you vote Irish Nationalists

Good Presentation,

Two fifths of the irish population killed & starved by Elizabeth tudor & her henchman Cecil.

They should never have gone they left behind their people and should have died for them if that what it took my great grandmother left north in 1920 the last her people pushed her of land. But made sure her kin don’t forget what their s .

What wasn't mentioned is that this was the result of attempting to kill a queen

The method of conquering a people ,ie , plantation, putting people off their own lands and giving it to strangers , has been copied many times since then in many parts of the world , right up to today , two very obvious places in conflict as we speak

They left their people behind to the mercy of their new masters and hastened the demise of what was left if gaelic ireland no thing to be cekebrated or sung about about this shameful episode in our sad history these earls pride was more important to them than their country or people.

always thought that they abandoned the ordinary Irish and left them at the mercy of the English

Couple of people on here more concerned about hair colour than what would be called ethnic cleansing and/or genocide today.
