Land & Sea: Talamh an Eisc

[@tonymurray814]

I’m late to this party but as an Irishman living in Boston Massachusetts I’m very impressed with this educational and informative video.That gentleman’s IRISH language is impressive.

This is when the CBC was for Canadians.

Proud to be of Newfoundland, Irish and English heritage. One of the most fascinating episodes of Land & Sea. We should all try to take a lesson from Mr. O'Brian and learn to pause to think and appreciate where we come from. We'd be a more humble people for it - What an interesting man.

Fabulous documentary so interesting indeed, I love these people from Newfoundland. ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

Thanks so much for this timeless program. My brother and I trekked back to Loughlinbridge, county Carlow -- the home of my great great grandmother Anne Shirley Cahill, who came over in 1817 and settled in the Ottawa Valley with her husband Michael Lacey Cahill. We had the same sense of wonder and nostalgia, and gratitude, to walk where the pioneer ancestors had walked.

Wow. He learned Irish to a very good level, a lot of people here at home won't even bother doing that! Míle buíochas libhse, scannán iontach is ea é!

[@joshoreilly4880]

He's as Irish as the rest of us. The accent has been preserved to an Amazing level!

This is so interesting. My father's ancestors come from Poole and Dorset. TY for sharing this beautiful video. and the gentleman I believe his name is Ollie? I felt such a connection to him, although my ancestors are mostly English and Scandinavian

Those are the words we used...”doubt the fire”, amd flankers. Yup, still said on the island. I’m from Bonavista Bay.

[@patriciakeats1621]

I want to go to England and Ireland. I feel so connected.

[@mariapierce2707]

My feelings exactly...Never let go of your dream...work towards it and GOD's will it shall happen! Happy New Year stay safe!

[@tonymurray814]

@@mariapierce2707 I’m from there but live in Boston now. I go home( or used to before the plague) regularly. I’ve met so many people of IRISH extraction in Massachusetts and surrounding states and without fail they say that they must go to “ the sod” before they die.I’ve never heard even one person that came back from there who regretted it. They felt like they were home at last and people were kind, friendly and felt like family. Do not put it off any longer.We only come this way once!!!

[@nozecone]

Hey, you don't have any ancestral connection to the poet Keats, do you? I've heard of a family in Nfld descended from the brother of Samuel Taylor Coleridge ... !

[@gb8376]

[@joshoreilly4880]

Did Aly O'Brien write any books? Very interesting man

[@lenhowl]

[@johncritch6812]

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

What's fun is some of these streets remind me of St John's

[@klunny998]

Back when cbc had actually unbiased TV, tell the truth and you won't need taxpayer money

[@EuropeanQoheleth]

Must there always be someone complaining about how bad tv has supposedly gotten now?

[@patriciakeats1621]

I was 12 when this program was filmed.

[@user-td4do3op2d]

Does anyone know the name of the music at 40:10? It's beautiful.

[@AaronBrownFogo]

Not sure, but if you find out let me know! I'm looking too lol
