Before you start dreaming, please let me reassure you that your health and safety is our number one priority. As such, we’re requiring that all Grand Circle travelers, Program Directors, and coach drivers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days prior to departure. Our new, updated health and safety protocols are described inside. The journey you’ve expressed interest in, Ireland in Depth vacation, will be an excellent way to resume your discoveries. It takes you into the true heart of Ireland, thanks to our groups of 42 travelers (with an average of 30).

  • Exploring Informal and Colloquial Language Through Netflix's Derry Girls
    Exploring informal and colloquial language through Netflix’s Derry Girls. Bàrbara Pilar Serra Ballester Master’s Thesis Master’s Degree in Teacher Training (With a speciality in English and German) at the UNIVERSITAT DE LES ILLES BALEARS Academic year 2018-2019 Date: June 2019 UIB Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Dra. Yolanda Joy Calvo Benzies Abstract The presence of colloquial and informal language is rather neglected in today’s EFL classrooms. The following study aims to demonstrate that this vocabulary, part of a genuine, real-world English, can be incorporated into the lesson in a unique way; by using authentic audio-visual materials like television sitcoms. For this dissertation, several fields have been explored in depth, such as the value of those genuine products as a teaching tool, that goes hand in hand with students’ motivation, the relevance of the cultural competence and further aspects like the purpose of working with informal and colloquial word-forms, the irrefutable role of captions and an analysis of the incidental vocabulary acquisition phenomenon in the language learning experience. Moreover, this MA dissertation includes an empirical study conducted with 4th of ESO students which aimed at analysing whether using the Northern Irish TV show Derry Girls is a beneficial tool to gain new vocabulary like idioms and phrasal verbs. The results obtained indicate that students were more motivated when learning English this way; moreover, it in fact helped most of them learn new vocabulary. Keywords: informal language, colloquial language, EFL, TV sitcom, Derry Girls. 2 Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................. 2 1.

  • Kerry Manor House Region: County Kerry Sleeps: 8 - 30
    Kerry Manor House Region: County Kerry Sleeps: 8 - 30 Overview The property is an attractive mid-Georgian house situated just off the Ring of Kerry, five miles west of Killarney. Set in forty acres of woodland overlooking the River Laune, it is ideally placed for exploring the many attractions of Kerry. The original building on the site was a short castle, so called because it was only two stories high. It was built by Captain O'Sullivan in 1641 and attacked by Cromwell's forces in 1654. In about 1760, the present house was built including having the remaining three walls of the castle forming the hallway. The interior was altered in 1830 and the chimney pieces and plaster work date from this time. The Manor House is approved by the Irish Tourist Board. It is listed in the current editions of the Fodor's and Karen Brown's Guide. Between the main house and the four cottages, the owners can accommodate any number from one to thirty people. This is ideal for families or groups of friends who wish to travel together but retain their independence.

This study aimed to determine whether cultural background/product familiarity, gender, and/or age impacted consumer liking of three Waterford Blaa products and explored product acceptability between product-familiar and product-unfamiliar consumer cohorts in Ireland and the UK, respectively. Familiarity with Blaa impacted consumer liking, particularly with respect to characteristic flour dusting, which is a unique property of Waterford Blaa. UK consumers felt that all Blaas had too much flour. Blaa A had the heaviest amount of flouring and was the least preferred for UK consumers, who liked it significantly less than Irish consumers (p < 0.05).

Ireland, was chosen for the investigation, and from the ecological data available on the immature stages of Eurycnemus (Murray & Ashe 1981) it was assumed for the purposes of the search that E. crassipes is ectoparasitic on Hydropsyche prepupae/pupae. By driving long, upright branches into the Substrate, the riffle area was divided into three rectangular, box- like sections each about 1 m wide and 10 m long, the total area studied being about 30 Square metres. Work began on the downstream end of each box and every stone likely to support Hydropsyche pupal cases was examined. Any such cases found were removed, opened and discarded if nothing was found. Suspect cases were placed in a tray of river water for further examination, and those which contained or were suspected of containing larvae or pupae of E. crassipes were preserved in 75 % alcohol.

  • Trivago and Derry Girls
    BLOG Trivago and Derry Girls EDINBURGH PARTNERSHIP TELEVISION NICOLA CLARK - MARKETING COORDINATOR 12 MAR 2019 Trivago, the hotel search comparison specialist, is currently sponsoring Channel 4’s hit coming-of-age comedy, Derry Girls, for its second series. Created and written by Lisa McGee, Derry Girls candidly follows the lives of five teenagers as they navigate life in Derry during The Troubles. Series one of Derry Girls was the most watched series in Northern Ireland since modern records began in 2002 and won both Best Comedy and Best Writer at the 2018 IFTA Gala Television Awards as well as the 2018 Radio Times Comedy Champion award. Across the UK, consolidated viewing figures revealed that the first series was watched by an average on 2.5 million viewers making it Channel 4’s biggest comedy launch since 2004. Negotiated by MediaCom Edinburgh, Trivago features sponsorship bumpers throughout the show. They also feature on all the on-air promos as well as on All4. New creative has been developed for the partnership which features a Northern Irish voiceover to link it to the programme. Maud Cant, Head of AV at MediaCom Edinburgh, said “Derry Girls has been one of the best performing programmes against 16-34adults on its first series last year, so it was a great opportunity for us to help Trivago reach the younger end of their target audience. After a lot of back and forth we managed to get a deal agreed and we are delighted that Trivago made sure they are maximising the partnership with the creation of new bumpers”.
