I love how you have touches of Irish about the place. I am fascinated with your language and it seems to fit wonderfully with the great history and earthiness of this beautiful place.
Inez and Niall love all things Irish. Inez is a fluent Irish speaker, as are Róisín, Clíodhna agus Manus, while Niall enjoys a ‘cúpla focal’. They met in an Daingean, in the Kerry Gaeltacht in an area known locally as ‘Tír na Fiúise’, which is the name of their family home, agus inspioráid do Fuchsia Lane Farm.
Cuireann siad céad míle fáilte roimh guests to speak to them as Gaeilge, to try any Gaeilge they have, or just to chat about the language, its richness, and how it is part of what we are. Inez runs Irish courses and workshops for groups coming to stay.
The link with our native language resonates with the memory of generations of family who have gone before, and would have spoken as Gaeilge as their first language. Our local village, Terryglass, is Tír Dhá Ghlas, which has the lovely meaning of the land of 2 streams. The local placenames and fieldnames are also a study of saibhreas in tracing stories of those who went before. Bainigí triail as!
