Secrets of Skibbereen, Co. Cork!

Did you know, that during the cold war, the government of Switzerland had a plan to bury all their gold under a country estate and mansion just outside Skibbereen in Co. Cork?
Skibereen is one of Ireland's most beautiful towns, and for the Today Show on RTÉ One, Colm Flynn explores the town to discover some of the people and places that make it so special.

My Great Grandmother Margaret McCarthy came from Skibbereen in the 1850's. She was the daughter of Charles and Hanorah. I would to love to go and visit this town very much

Lived there for 5 years from 2018 - 2023. I miss the place. I only really got to know the place towards the end of my tenure though when I partially snapped out of my hermitism

Nice shout out to Dr. O’DONOVAN but was weird that there was no mention that Liss Ard was initially owned by another branch of O’DONOVANs who built the home and created the extensive gardens.

My grandmother came from Skibbereen in 1907. Her father name was Michael Mahoney and my great grandmother was Mary Donovan. I believe they had 16 children in total. I must go and explore my roots.

Very nice

[@dustystrail9377]

Great report 😎on the way next week

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

If shops like those existed in my part of the world I would make it my business to buy fresh bread every day, Where I live I get to the shop once every 3 months, weather permitting.

My first ancestor in America on my fathers side came from County Cork. Willam Dugan I believe was his name. Fought for the North I’m the Civil War. I read somewhere once that Dugan was a very large clan in County Cork. I’d love to learn more about those ancestors and the place they came form

[@singingbowls1]

Duggan with 2 G's is much more common Cork name.

[@danielwggudan2]

My family traces back to skibbereen. Hope to visit once the pandemic ends, if it ever does.

That s. Great

Pretty much your standard paid ad travel "show" (advertising a vegan cafe; their good market; and a real estate ad) but at least it shows some of Skibbereen. My people are MacCarthy's and O'Donovan's and they came from this area. First leaving in post Famine times for Cork City and then my grandparents to America. My mother's side came from Tipperary and North Cork. O'Riordan's and Brady's.
