The Green Man Dunfanaghy

Eileen and Neil opened The Green Man shop in June 2006 on Dunfanaghy’s Main Street, with the aim of providing local and imported foods which were not readily available in the area. They also decided where possible, to stock organic and fairtrade products. The Green Man is recommended by the Bridgestone Guide.

The Green Man Mobile Delicatessen was set up in May 2010. Neil takes the trailer to local markets and towns.

Paragliding in Donegal at Five Fingers Strand

Here is a great video of paragliding in Donegal at Five Fingers Strand in north Inishowen. Five Fingers Strand is located northwest of Malin Village at Lagg and is an area of impressive sand dunes (up to 30m high, some of the highest in Europe) It is named after the line of five rock pinnacles which you can see jutting out from the headland at the entrance to the Bay.

Jump Into Ireland

Tourism Ireland kicks off 2012 with the roll-out of a brand new global advertising campaign – ‘Jump into Ireland’ – to promote the island of Ireland overseas over the next few years.

Jump Into Ireland

Jump Into Ireland

The campaign goes live on television in Great Britain, our largest and most important tourism market, today on channels including ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky 1 and satellite channels. The new ads will also appear on TV in France and Germany; in cinemas in GB and the US, Spain and Italy; on outdoor sites in GB; and online in the other 22 markets in which Tourism Ireland has a presence to an estimated audience of 200 million potential visitors worldwide.

The soundtrack for the TV ads is taken from the latest album, Fallen Empires, by Co. Down band Snow Patrol. The tagline for the new campaign – ‘Jump into Ireland’ – is designed to convey a sense of playfulness and to reflect the immersive nature of a holiday here (especially Donegal) with iconic experiences and warm, friendly people.

A Black and White Donegal Christmas

Images of Donegal and Ireland’s West Coast

The West Coast exudes a romance like nowhere else in Ireland. It boasts an unsurpassable beauty and wild drama that is inextricably linked to the region’s culture, traditions and people. From the towering sea cliffs in Donegal and Galway, which are beaten by the Atlantic Ocean, to the serene beauty of the Killarney National Park and the Beara Way.

Ablaze with colour, the West Coast offers a chance to really get away from it all, to stand on the edge and face nature in all its glory. Here, you can climb mountains, travel to remote islands, explore quiet bays or discover ancient limestone landscapes. Most important, though, in the West Coast you can experience authentically Irish culture and traditions, from the vibrant Gaeltacht region and its lively céilis to the multitude of festivals that celebrate the history and heritage of this fascinating region.

The Henry Girls – December Moon

The Henry Girls hit all the right spots on this their fourth album.

The Henry Girls are sisters from Inishowen in Co. Donegal, Ireland and have been performing together as a band for almost a decade. I get the feeling that ‘December Moon’ is going to be a breakthrough album for the band. It’s released on the back of European tours and a successful Summer tour in the US. Its recent release also precedes a big European Spring tour as well as a return back to America. There are many really great songs on ‘December Moon’ which will appeal to fans of folk and roots with the band being comparable to The Dixie Chicks, The Good Be Tanyas or The Indigo Girls.

The 14 tracks include two instrumental arrangements, eleven original tracks and a fine cover of Elvis Costello’s ‘Watching the Detective’. While it’s fair to call this album a folk album it flirts with happy Pop on tracks like ‘When Will I See You Again’ and ‘Fool’s Gold’. There are well written ballads such as the beautiful ‘Farewell’ and the blissful ‘Sweet Dreams’. We also have homage to roots and bluegrass on ‘Ol’ Cook Pot’ and ‘The Long Road’ and then there’s the theatrical cover of the brilliant ‘Watching the Detectives’. All these genres fit together because of the cohesiveness of the harmonies and the musicianship on the album.
