My Mother was born on a small island of the Ros Muc peninsula...... The island was called Ilaunmore and I had Great times on there as a kid during my summer holidays over from the UK ..... my mother is 83 now and she has dimentia but when I play her some beautiful videos like this her eyes light up when she hears her spoken tongue again .... Very emotional to see

That's was a mighty film. They had to work hard but there was a dignity to that generation that is sadly lacking today. R. I. P to them all. Their likes we will never ever see again.

Dignity? Lacking today? What the hell are you talking about??
Our life passes by in the blink of an eye. The good we do so often goes unnoticed by the world, but God sees it and knows about it. Peader was there for the pregnant cow to help her birth the heiffer. He was valuable and precious to his kin. What a loss, but a good life lived, only a heartbeat of it in this video. Thanks for sharing, RIP. Peader.✝️
RIP Peader ...thank you for the beautiful and informative documentary of your Life and that of your Island. You left a great Legacy behind of a real hardworking man who had a great wisdom and kind soul. God Bless 🙏🏴
Thank you for this. What a beautiful life. Rest In Peace Peader O Conghale.
Those very poignant words....."Nothing goes on forever". Such a beautiful, sweet, gentle, humble & very hard working man was Peadar Mhicí Ó Conghaile. A man that possessed such integrity. A human quality not always seen today. I thank God for the gift of your life. RIP Dear Peadar.🙏
What a treasure this is to watch! Thank you!
Thank you Peter Matulla for this incredible video...it was bitter sweet as is Life...but always worth the journey when you meet incredibly decent people like Peader along the way. 🙏
So sad to see the grave dug ready for peadar, his final resting place.A great wise peaceful man.Thank you for showing us this brilliant piece. Much appreciated.
This is a beautiful video of a very good man. He may reflect what the islander’s lives were like. There is lot of love here of family friends animals of all kinds and the land. There appears to be a deep seated respect for the almighty creator and a heart at peace with himself and the world.
Been the Arran Islands a coupe times. Absolutely adore the place. Family from Co Galway. But that islands of Connemara just make me feel so much warmth and piece. What a human being, what a man. He's poor wife was so upset. Losing her best friend. Such a lovely video, with so much inspiration but sadness at the end. Love the music also. Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed that. 💚👍
A lot to learn from the old ones, tales to tell !
Very moving and a privilege to listen to his wisdom. 🙏
❤The YOUNG Have This Same Strength!❤ Though the challenge is different and we know they may face actual hard times, The SPIRIT of these strong people is within them!
how wonderfull lovely to listen to peader god bless all ,salt of the earth jennifer
Great epitaph....he didn't care much for the drink
A Great man of so much life experiences RIPxxx😊
God bless him. We visited the Aran Islands in May 2007, a lovely time. I had my very first Guinness there.
Love the Van Morrison soundtrack.
en fantastisk film. Väcker många egna minnen från Aran -öarna. Inte minst lördagsdansen med dragspeloch en trumma och danser som jag inte kunde alls. Reels och jigs förstås men mycket annat. Mitt irländska ressällskap kunde förstås och hen dansade på medan jag stod och titttande sippandes på en porter
There were many occasions when I"got the rod" because of my inabily to master the "Irish". But even now at 76 yrs old, I can recognize a few of the words in this wonderful documentary.
It's a great piece of work, I think!
Just look around at the beautiful area and scenery made by God above so helped by this man and many thousands of other people's hands over many years, they built those stonewalls and homes that will last for thousands of years to come, their lives were hard but also very good lives, their wars were bad weather, poor quality land, some hunger and after sadness for family members who emigrated and never returned, those people had many other good things happening which made their lives peaceful, brought them near to God and blessed. Talamh Pheadair is resting in eternal peace in heaven and having the greatest time telling other people his stories when he worked the hard and beautiful lands of his home place Inis Meán on the Aran Islands, off the coat of Clare, Galway city, and Connemara
Very enjoyable.
When men were men. RIP SIR. 🙏❤️

@@alllovingcowherdboy4475 "software" as we understand it is a useful metaphor for how DNA encodes the proteins that drive biological processes. But like any metaphor it has its limits and at some point the metaphor breaks down. DNA does not need to be "encoded" by an intelligent designer. Random variation of said genetic code along with a feedback mechanism (our environment and whether or not organism survives and procreates) is all that is necessary for very intelligent designs to occur. The fact that there is anything here at all really is amazing. Whether you attribute that to "God" is up to yourself but what is most certainly not true is the stories we humans tell ourselves about this God or Gods. Be it Islam, Christianity, Judaism, it's all just a bunch of Iron age or Middle age collection of fairy tales, and fairy tales that cause many problems in this world. Is there a God? Who knows. Is religion X the one true religion? almost certainly not!

Such wonderful viewing. I so love my ancestral Ireland & it's people, specifically witnessing some of it's people's history. It's so wonderful to listen to Peadar speaking Irish & I do hope that more young people learn this ancient language, as to keep it alive & well. I myself have been learning for many years now & I can speak some Irish. I know my ancestors spirits are proud to know. I thank God for the life of Peadar & for his life's legacy. His death was very sad & what a true loss, but we got to witness a very wee part of Peadar's life, through this intriguing & enjoyable documentary. RIP Dear Peadar.🙏

Raw reality of island life. We go there as tourists with money in our pockets and a light heart to see what the islands are like, and come away satisfied. Underneath the surface are tales of tragedy and hardship. Women slaving to draw seaweed to grow potatoes. Not glamorous at all

So strange. At the end, a man said that the people who die aren’t remembered for very long….how can that be, when they all know each other, when they see the same people all the time bc there are so few left? I can see it happening in a city, but not on a tiny island in the Atlantic!

I believe that I may be related to Peadar we share the same last name, (O'Conghalaigh translated Connolly) also my Grandfather was born on inis meain. However, similar last names were common and i guess islanders would be referred to by thier father/husbands name. I just need someone's help to verify if I'm correct, but in the closing credits it says "Le Peadar Mhici bhi." Im not sure but i think that is his "island name" opposed to his official last name which was on his coffin.

He spends most of his time moaning about the hard times .I'd say even as a young man you'd have to X ray him to find work in him .Why didn't he emigrate and give it a right go for a few yrs abroad and come home with money But that's only my opinion .The real hard work in Ireland is done by farmers who have good land and tend to two hundred animals and more and keep them in top condition .He yammers about one cow calving ,imagine calving down a hundred maybe ten in one day alone with a calving jack at night,Then ten more then following night xmilk x feed their calves bed sweep the slats and fodder the lot ,Not much time for talking there . But you won't hear them talking about hardship Theyre just grateful to God to see they day they wake up to do it all over again the following day
