[@maryannhughes6336]

Man I love this so much, thank you for portraying my town so beautifully💙

[@JimL666]

My father was born in Ballyboy.

[@echelon2k8]

My ancestors were born in these parts back when it was still commonly known as King's County, before migrating to the Great Southern Land just over 170 years ago. Wish I knew more about them.

Mine too 😊 I’m going back to explore ❤

[@echelon2k8]

@@TheGirlInTheKoalaDress Enjoy! Hope I get to do that one day, too.

What a great way to start my day...though we need to work on your whiskey poker face! You should embrace the burn. haha Thanks for the laughs and smiles!

[@ashotofhennessy4994]

yeahhhhh about that! I drink Jameson! I normally enjoy whiskey.....That was my first time having Tullamore Dew and it definitely tastes different than Jameson! Thanks for commenting Murph!

[@kidwehrex5895]

Thanks for the video. My direct ancestors were from Birr (Parsonstown) in County Offaly before they immigrated to Canada in the 1840's. Great to be able to see some of what they saw. Would love to visit one day

Heading there in less than a month. Thank you for this video. My Quinn ancestors are from Offlay, but I don't know from where exactly - wish I did. I can't wait to explore their homeland. PS loved the music!

[@ashotofhennessy4994]

thanks so much for watching! Offaly is so wonderful and there's so many things to do and places to explore! I've barely skimmed the surface! Make sure to check out Clonmacnoise - a personal favorite of mine!

[@nathanieltroy2769]

Possibly Ballyboy or Kilcormac

I can't live in Ireland. I noticed it rains there a lot. I'd be depressed. I'm in love with that country tho..😔

[@maryannhughes6336]

Aye but its a class country

[@accurrent]

If I moved to Ireland I’d miss the snow!

[@janetsabovik2540]

Another great video! Thanks Kate and beautiful music too. Loved the history of the park. I want to show my parents this one. What was the stuff they dug up called, I know my dad will ask me. 😊

[@ashotofhennessy4994]

it's called Peat! :)

[@tomdublin8701]

Great video have good weekend👍🍀

[@danieloneill6375]

Someone died in charleville over 100 years ago fell down the middle of the banister

[@janetsabovik2540]

Kate, when he was talking about what they dug up to burn for electricity, was he saying it happened for 8 or 80 years? I couldn’t quite tell which he meant.

[@ashotofhennessy4994]

80 years! :) Thanks so much for the kind words and for the feedback! Always love hearing from people!

[@maryannhughes6336]

He said 80

[@danieloneill6375]

Lough boora I’m from around there

[@kevdev11]

[@galoglaich3281]

Its an old video,however you said something interesting.Irish don't know anything about their castles,thats because we don't consider them english castles imposed on us,thats not entirely through about half them were built by irish chieftains ,mostly the towerhouse castles

[@johnc3403]

As an Irishman, I LOVE that we are burning our heritage to power our iPhones. Burn Offaly's peat and give me volts and amps. I need those mA to charge my tablet and smartphone.. how the f~ck else am I gonna watch funny cat videos at 1am? huh? keep burning our heritage guys, years worth of peat in the ground and years worth of funny cat videos to be enjoyed.... f#ck yeah!!

That is my home coming ireland
