Aisling Return to Ireland

The Aisling Return to Ireland project provides supported holidays 4 times a year in Ireland for long-term emigrants, fulfilling what is for many a dream of seeing their homeland again. Their dream is to build a house in Ireland. Aisling Co-ordinator Alex McDonnell, describes the project aims to Wyllie O Hagan in conversation en route through Barnesmore Gap, Donegal, Ireland.

The Aisling Return to Ireland project was begun by workers in the London Irish Centre and Arlington house, the biggest homeless hostel in Europe which has been home to more Irish men than any other building outside Ireland.




Wyllie O Hagan asks you to join them insupporting the Aisling Return to Ireland project.

We wish all of the Aisling group a safe trip to Ireland for St Patrick's Day.

On a personal note, this Aisling video has made a dream of ours come through.

Our dream was to have a film about Ireland that had some substance and meaning - featured on YouTube this St Patrick's Day 2008.

We are delighted that Aisling was the film featured on Youtube in both Ireland and the UK. This means that many people will be introduced to Aisling.

All the best.

Having just stumbles upon this posting, and do intend to follow up, may I remark that I feel that there is no 'shame'...they gave their youth to support the families they left behind, now should be their time, may they live to enjoy their return. If I can surport in even a small way, please contact me. God bless you all.
