County Roscommon / Contae Ros Comáin – DJP 🎙️☘️

Ros Comáin is the Irish language for "St. Comán's Wood" called after St. Comán Mac Fáelchúin who lived during the 8th century and established a monastery in the area. There are several medieval saints named Comán or Comgán, which can cause confusion. But St. Comán of Ros Comáin is distinct due to his founding role of the monastery in this particular area. The name Roscommon is the anglicised version of Ros Comáin.

My connection to Roscommon is to outside the Castlerea area for the last 20 years. If you work in the Community, Voluntary & Development Sectors in Co. Roscommon and would like me to interview you on this YouTube channel feel free to contact me and I may be able to assist.
