    Just a couple of observations:
    - There's plenty of “EIRE” signs along the Irish coast.
    - Hawk Cliff/Vico Bathing Place is Ireland's only official nudist beach.
    - Quickest way to get there is, on low tide, walk along Killiney Beach, Or, get off in Dalkey Dark station.

Hope you travel a bit futher south and explore Wicklow a bit, it's called the Garden of Ireland and it must be stunning in this weather. Love your videos! btw, "kill" means church in Irish, so you will find it mixed in to many names as you tour around.

    A wonderful video, as it is where I grew up and my sister was the person who actually located 7 Éire from an aero photo in our family hom. BUT I do wish that the names of key places were checked before they were bowdlerised: Éire, Killiney. Additionally the country was not the Irish Republic until 1949. At the time that these navigation markers were installed it was the Irish Free State and part of the Commonwealth,

    • @michaelmerrigan3086
      @michaelmerrigan3086 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The name of the State was amended by the 1937 Constitution to Éire / Ireland which remained a part of the Commonwealth until 1949 with the 'Declaration of the Republic' although, this was a "description of the nature of the State" it was not a name change. The name of the State has remained unchanged since the coming into force of the 1937 Constitution of Ireland / Bunreacht na hÉireann. The entity known as the "Irish Free State" existed between 1922 and 1937.

    Killiney (kill eye knee) is an anglicised version of Cill Iníon Léinín , (pronounced kill ineen layneen) translated as the church of the daughters of Lèinìn, a local chieftain. He and his seven daughters converted to Christianity and built a monastic settlement. The ruins of the chapel still exist on what's now Marino Avenue West and marks the historical centre of Killiney village

A local historian who's first name was Bridget, told me that this was the Church of Cill Inion Leinin. Sadly, a lot of the early Celtic stones, in the area were removed, and used for other purposes.

    These were located all over the complete coastline of the Republic of Ireland. Numbered if I remember correctly from 1 to 83. The numbers were constructed beside coastal observation buildings located at headlands and other prominent coastal locations. The numbers were added primarily as an air navigation aid and that Allied air crews could easily calculate their location.

    There's another on the cliff walk between bray and greystones that was rediscovered not long ago after either a very hot summer or a gorse fire... I can't recall which...

    I’m surprised at his Eire pronunciation. Probably his Skaughtisch accent!

      Then again I live in Lilywhite territory.

    Hi, An interesting video very enjoyable, however the Killiney Obelisk was built as a centrepiece of a plan to landscape the hill in 1740-1741 the Irish famine did not occur until 1845 - 1849 there is however a mention of the harsh winter conditions of1741 - 1742 in the inscription on the obelisk

    I grew up in Killiney and have lived my entire life in South Dublin/North Wicklow. Like the previous comment, I had never heard of this before.Thanks for making a video about this interesting piece of little known Irish history. But you could brush up on your pronunciation a little

    There's a great one at malin head ireland most northerly point not sure of its designation number but you don't need a drone as its on a steep slope at a cliff top and is viewed by looking down the slope from atop

    You would think after going to all the trouble searching, walking, climbing, etc. he would at least have found out the proper pronunciation of the sign and the area.

    Presumably, there must have been a 1-6 Eire as well at some time? And maybe other higher numbers?

    I enjoy your wanderings. The E in EIRE should be an É which is pronounced æ. Killiney is pronounced kill- eye - knee. It is a bad anglicisation of Cill Iníon Léinín, the correct name.

    I live 10 minutes from the beach. Its a shame the tide was in when you got there on the beach as it would have shaved about 45 minutes of your walk.
