Thank you for the amazing pictures of Donegal. My mother ( Leticia Mary Lynch) was born in Dunree, Buncrana Donegal and I remember the many visits to see my Grandparents. It's only now that I appreciate the absolutely stunning beauty of Donegal whilst looking out my window onto dirty old London town. Sadly beauty doesn't create jobs and jobs erode beauty.
I am very grateful that Ireland gave hope to German children with Operation Shamrock, gave them life and gave them a new home. I visited Glencree and I love Ireland and especially Donegal where an Irish family gave me shelter on their farm.
Winfried I am delighted that you got to spend some time in Ireland 🇮🇪 and I hope that you come back soon and as someone said it would be a very interesting story to read
Hi Jenny how are you. Greetings from Ireland. Hope you’re safe from Covid. It’s a lovely video but you are correct about the music 🎶. Should have been some lovely Irish ☘️ airs. Wishing you a lovely Sunday 🙏🌹😊👍 Michael
Thanks for these. A special place. The old Derry to Donegal town train shows how partition cut Donegal off from it's natural hinterland of the rest of Ulster. Life looks like it was pretty tough for people there back in the day. What a change from today with Letterkenny getting a new IT university and all the medical manufacturing companies around there. How did the women keep those long dresses so clean when living on a farm in a thatched cottage?
Hello, everyone. I'm from Germany and I hope to travel to Ireland one day. I especially want to see the small towns, visit the western cliffs and enjoy nature. First of all, I want to drink a Guinness. I know it's everywhere, but when I drink something like that, I want to do it in the country it comes from. hahaha I don't need tropics, turquoise sea and coconut. I hope Ireland is and will be as beautiful as in my dreams.
Beautiful photos. However so many lived in poverty with the annual emigration to Scotland to harvest potatoes. They may have been content, but they were poor, and accepted it. At least they had a railway line which they don't have now. Music was lovely. It is not necessary to have a tootling on a tin whistle for every Irish event..
Nice photos - I have a collection of negatives myself of copies I did for a man in Annagry - men standing with rifles and the barracks burning in the background - wearing the broad black brimmer of the IRA - Crolly chapel - corrugated with dozens of Black Nellies lying along the ditch outside.....! - mostly photos from Dungloe to Gaoth Dobhair...! I was a photographer - I took photos of the Boat - the 2nd one - I actually took photos on it for the Local knitwear factory for a magazine....!
It's a fascinating look back at how most Irish people had to live not all that long ago. These thatched cottages were primitive. No disrespect to those who had to live in them. It was a roof, protection from the wind and rain. But, its an indictment of the politics of that time. The " elite " lived in gated estates, had huge town houses in Dublin, multiple servants while most Irish people lived in squalid, smoky cabins hardly fit for animals. Times improved, but those living in tents in Dublin might not agree today either.
Commercial came in fast at the end - usual English voice selling some scam.Talk about attention grabbing .Thay just can't let things be for what they are , can they?

This would be an interesting story to hear about,…..

What a lovely place to live in. I wish one day I could be there and see it in person in God's time. What a beautiful creation of God 🙏🙏🙏 Amen
My grandmother is from there. She kept a piece of turf wrapped in wax paper for years. Her family thatched roofs and had a farm.
Ireland is beautiful My mother was from county Cork & my farther county Kildare been 4 times in my life time love it!
That was brilliant my dad was born in that lovely county Donegal
My mother’s family is all in this area, I adore and cherish it
Lovely film,but the icing on the cake would have been some Irish Celtic music

Thanks for sharing, Jer
Pity there is no Irish music to accompany the lovely photographs.

Read the book "The Children of the Dead End" by Patrick MacGill to get a better understanding of the place and time.
Lovely video! But the music doesn’t fit 👍👍
Absolutely Blue Danube Waltz is an insult to Ireland!
Thank you very much!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Beautiful 💚🇮🇪🧡
Where my grand mother was from.
Loved watching this,thank you!😍😁
❤
Thanks for sharing this - unlike one or two others on here I thought the music fitted perfectly.
Why can’t you PLEASE accompany these great photos with our beautiful Irish music…I have to look without volume as it is too 😮disturbing .

Great photos. Music totally inappropriate. Bloody awful music. Was expecting Irish music, so wont share
Just because you don't like the music.go on share it maybe who ever you share it to will like it .don't be selfish and share.
My God don't we all wish we could go back cause it would be better than the shit now
Where my grand mother was from.
