OK,,, Ill give it too you,, your an Irish man at heart

[TheLangelander]

I grew up in Donegal but have lived the most of my life abroad, but I am still a Donegal man. Dont you think that immigrants to Ireland feel the same. Ive fallen in well with the natives here and dont feel Im unwanted here. I do hope my fellow countrymen recieve guest workers as Ive been treated here in Denmark.

[badaboom714]

[DONEGAL1974]

Glencolmcille is one of the best places in donegal for views and history and u do it no justice ! desmond o'gara ! A disgrace !!!

[DONEGAL1974]

What a shit view of Glencolmcille you bunch of cowboys !!!

[kilfoil77]

Just to hear our native language again is heart warming

[Bouncybon]

I just favourited this as an acknowledgement of Jake in Donegal. The creator of jakeshomevideos. Check out his shimmering vids and vlogs.

[Northbound89]

You're like another person from Donegal I spoke with who thinks there is not many immigrants in Ireland. You're clueless.

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 what does letting immigrants into Ireland have to do with being proud of our heritage? Sure their are alot of immigrants coming in that doesnt make them Irish and its the goverments fault not the people

[Northbound89]

Notice I said the word 'like', which means I was comparing your ignorance to his.

Most Irish people today have a liberal mind-set. If the Irish people were truly proud of their heritage and held fast to their traditions then the country wouldn't be in it's current state. The Irish language wouldn't be as neglected as it is now. The people wouldn't be embracing a globalist/consumerist way of life. Multiculturalism would never have been allowed to grip our shores etc etc.

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 i have no dissagreement on the mass immigration issue trust me its just when you say not proud you cant generalize all Irish to not care. The Irish language is neglected even though it is moderately taught in all schools but we should deff. use that more than the english language

[Northbound89]

@kilfoil77

Well I did say 'most' Irish people to be fair.

I'm glad you're against mass immigration and believe the Irish language should be revived, but surely you must see the indifferent attitude of Irish society today. True nationalistic people don't stand for diversity.

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 noooooo honestly not to seem like a racest but the irish culture does not need diversity if anyone should be coming into this country its our lost cousins from America canada australia not Polish or eastern europe or nigerians keep the celtic blood flowing

[Northbound89]

Racist is a word used to silence people who don't get with the liberal agenda.

You're not a racist in wanting to preserve your own culture and identity.

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 whats your thought on irish americans?

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 cause i live in america now moved here about a year ago

[GuitarIsLife94]

I'd kill to be back in Donegal. Long live clan O Fearadhaigh. This video explains why the Irish are so proud of their heritage

[Northbound89]

Proud of their heritage? The reality is most "Irish" people don't care about their heritage. That is why they're docile to the fact that their country is being butchered by traitors and foreign influence alike. You give the people an illusionary amount of money(Celtic Tiger) and they'll forget all about who they are, which they have!

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 umm how are the Irish not proud of their heritage are you mad? the Irish are one of the most nationalistic people around the world and are also known to keep their past traditions alive

[Northbound89]

@kilfoil77

That may be the case in the reveries of an American, but unfortunately it's not reality.

[kilfoil77]

@Northbound89 yes im from donegal so your mistaken again

[kiliodoulos26]

[sailorsdoxy]

language aside,Ive been to Donegal many times and always find something new and awe inspiring.Its a magic place!

[LLanidloesywddar]

What dialect is it?

[OnTheJourneyHome]

Irish Gaelic, the best and probably one of the hardest languages in the world to learn

[leatherhound05]

english is a language of ireland - it evolved here equally as it did in england from norman french and saxon both spoken here from 12th century. it wasnt imported from england but was born here at same time as it was in england. that irish means catholic and gaelic is a victorian political myth promoted by racist bigots.

[krnc17]

i wish all of ireland spoke irish !!! were like the country that doesnt speak or own language weird

[dDuck001]

music is nice !!!

gaelic is a language that must be recovered

let go irish, scotish, wealsh, bretton people

LET GO !!!!

everybody in the world live in diglossia (2 languages) except for the english speakers and lazy people,

probabily U are lazy people !!!

[hitbot5]

wer is killea

[Connallach]

I notice on the end of the video it says ''Contae Thír Chonaill'' thats wrong, its ''Contae Dhún na nGall'' because Inis Eoghain (Inishowen) isn't part of Tír Chonaill.

[corollaban]

Convoy isnt in there ?? part of Donegal too

[illinois1776]

sad. but i can't stop listening to it. my heart almost breaks when i hear it

[Supreemox]

Bhí mé i dTír Chonaill cúpla mí shoin agus caithfidh mé a rá, cronaím é! :(

[thesage]

Cill Cháis is in Tipperary. It was home of a branch of an Anglo-Irish Cathloic dynasty: the Butlers of Ormond. They "acquired" the land from the Eóghanacht and other such native tribes in the 12th century. This song really has nothing to do with Donegal. It's about the end of an era, with the death of a female Butler aristocrat and the destruction of native woodland.

[reachforthestars11]

whats the name of the man singin at the start?

[celtichandball]

u forgot inch island

[nindojibwe]

If you can understand the Gaelic it breaks your heart:

What shall we do for wood from now on, the last of the forests have been felled? There is no talk of Cill Chais or its people; its bell shall ring no more.

Much of the rest talks of the ecological devastation of the land done by the English in the 1790s: I do not hear the sound of the duck or the goose there / or the cry of the eagle over the bay...

[Zorbyworby]

It breaks your heart anyway, through all language barriers...

[AttributelessRod]

Beautifull.
