The Wild Atlantic Way is the coast road Doolough Pass is shown on the cover of this on the west coast of Ireland and what a guide. stunning place it is to ride! As it has become more popular in recent years, I have often been asked what are the best parts of the road to ride. Here are my top ten, in order of north to south. Other people may have other thoughts about places that are equally as good, but these are my favourites that I have ridden and seen for myself. 2. Sky Road, Clifden Immediately to the west of Clifden in County Gary France. Galway is Sky Road which runs around a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Sky Road route takes you up among the hills overlooking Clifden Bay and its offshore islands, Inishturk and Turbot.

  • 20-Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010 - 2030 Progress Report: 2010 - 2015 Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources
    20-Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010 - 2030 Progress Report: 2010 - 2015 Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources During the period covered by this report, the Department has adhered to its commitments set out in its implementation plan under the Strategy and in accordance with the Broadcasting Act 2009. In 2009, with the enactment of the Broadcasting Act 2009, the allocation of licence fee money to the Broadcasting Funding Scheme, of which TG4 is one of the main beneficiaries, was increased from 5% to 7%. The Good Friday Agreement provided that the British Government would work with the relevant British and Irish broadcasting authorities to make TG4 more widely available in Northern Ireland. Following the switchover to digital television in 2012, TG4’s coverage has reached 94% in Northern Ireland. RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta is also being provided on the Northern Ireland Freeview DTT network. In autumn 2014, TG4 launched an upgraded/redesigned TG4 website with major new features for national and global users. An IOS app for iPad and iPhone and a Smart TV app, available for download to all major platforms, was also launched. This ensures access to Irish language programming via multiple devices for a worldwide audience. With the launch in October 2015 of a book and app based on the television series Saol faoi Shráid, TG4 has delivered a multi-platform Irish language puppet series for children. In addition to these formats, TG4 has provided extended children's access to the series with a live puppet show, which toured nationwide and featured in Baboró Kids Festival 2015.

  • 1 JMU Ireland Summer Field Course 2018 an Introduction to the Geology
    JMU Ireland Summer Field Course 2018 An Introduction to the geology of Connemara’s metamorphic and igneous rocks. By Prof. Martin Feely, NUI, Galway, Ireland. Part 1. A summary of the regional geology of Connemara The rocks of Connemara contain petrified images of buckled crust and volcanic activity that are many hundreds of millions of years old. The oldest rocks (~600-460 Ma) form the dominant central sector, which is an east-west trending corridor of deformed and metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary rocks collectively known as the Connemara Metamorphic Complex (Leake and Tanner 1994 and references therein)-see Figure 1. The Oughterard Granite (~463 Ma) occurs at the eastern end of the complex. The complex is bounded to the north by igneous and sedimentary rocks of Ordovician and Silurian age (~500-410 Ma) and, in the south by the Galway Granite (~425-380 Ma) including the Roundstone, Inish and Omey Granites. Two other lithological units of note are the metamorphosed volcanic rocks of the Delaney Dome Formation and the sedimentary and volcanic rocks exposed on the islands of South Connemara (Lettermullan and Gorumna)- both of these units are of similar age (~470 Ma). The Connemara Metamorphic Complex is part of an ancient mountain belt that stretched in NE direction from the Appalachians, through Canada, Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia. This mountain belt owes its present fragmented distribution pattern to the birth (~200 million years ago) and ongoing growth (~2 cm/yr.) of the Atlantic Ocean. The metamorphic and igneous rocks form the solid mass of the landscape, but the actual shapes of the mountains and valleys result from sculpting by ice.
