EXPLORE the LAND of the GIANTS – NORTHERN IRELAND Journey Where Many Have Not and Discover the Adventure of Rugged Northern Ireland! EXPLORE THE LAND OF THE GIANTS – NORTHERN IRELAND Journey where many have not and discover the adventure of rugged Northern Ireland! This ancient land has been a secret, hidden from the world until now. Belfast is a cosmopolitan capital city of Europe with its stylish hotels and nightlife, Michelin star restaurants, and luxurious comforts. Minutes away is an escape to the countryside with the famous Irish fresh air and rolling green hills. This part of Ireland is still inhabited by Lords, Ladies, Earls, and Dukes. Their fabulous manor homes and estates are open exclusively through our Concierge Travel. Your own personal Travel Concierge will ensure you experience the best of the immense history in the North of Ireland! The experience begins with a personal consultation with a Peerless Performance Travel Concierge to assure that you have individualized service and an itinerary within YOUR schedule and preferences. Today the “VIP” experience is no longer the exception, but the expectation. Our Travel Concierge Team offers end-to-end services with your safety and security in mind all along the way. Your enchanting adventure will start with a chauffeured drive from Dublin airport to your fabulous accommodation in Belfast. Welcome to the serene and modern Grand Central Hotel, regarded as the finest accommodation in all of the North. A lavish introduction to this region, as through the years, guests such as Winston Churchill, Billy Graham, Bob Hope, the Beatles, and Rolling Stones have stayed here. After checking in, enjoy a brief orientation tour of this compact and accessible city, before an exclusive dinner at the Chef’s table in one of Belfast’s most prominent restaurants. Now, discover Belfast with history and culture at every turn. Gain access to areas not otherwise seen by the public! Learn of her journey from strife and war to peace and prosperity. As important as the landscape and the food of these homes is, a trip to Ireland is all about the people. Members of esteemed families with stories of the surroundings dating back hundreds of years. One of these homes is the Royal residence in Northern Ireland. Enjoy afternoon tea in the home of the Queen! You can also try soaking up the atmosphere of an Irish Pub with a memorable pub crawl with great food and music throughout. Explore the rugged Antrim coast and meet some of the finest purveyors of artisanal foods on the island of Ireland - entirely off the map. Enjoy one of the most scenic drives in the United Kingdom or Ireland, this mystic land has views all the way to Scotland. You will enjoy a private afternoon in a chef’s cottage learning about traditional Irish baking recipes and while away the afternoon with fresh Irish scones and real tea. For devotees and non-fans alike, it is clear to see the impact that Game of Thrones has had on Northern Ireland. Come and look behind the curtain at the filming of one of HBO’s most culturally significant epics at one of the chief filming locations. A flight of fancy into a fantasy world. For the most avid of golfers, Northern Ireland is known to offer some of the most challenging and prestigious courses. Royal County Down is regularly rated as one of the top 10 courses in the world, a true links style course on the Irish Sea complete with rugged terrain, magnificent vistas, and harsh climate changes. Royal Portrush is a similar seaside links course that hosted the 2019 British Open. The change of pace, parkland style Royal Belfast is the oldest club in Northern Ireland, featuring immaculate, manageable playing conditions. To add to your golf trip of a lifetime you will be accompanied by the “Gritty Golf Guide,” golf course architect and Pete Dye protégé, Jeff Klaiber. As your host and playing partner, Jeff will provide rare architectural insights into golf design techniques, playing strategies to overcome course challenges, and plenty of incredible stories of building some of the world’s great courses alongside a legend. If you would like to do a post extension, our Concierge Travel can customize an itinerary for you to discover the delights of Ireland’s capital, Dublin, or continue your adventure to the South West of Ireland for a deep dive into the Wild Atlantic Way. This experience would be curated to your preferences! *This itinerary is one of many examples as your experience will be tailored specifically to you..

  • 3 Failure, Guilt, Confession, Redemption? Revisiting
    Journal of Psychosocial Studies Volume 10, Issue 1, May 2017 Failure, guilt, confession, redemption? Revisiting unpublished research through a psychosocial lens MARCUS FREE Abstract This article offers some critical reflections on a case of failure to bring a qualitative research project to completion and publication earlier in the author’s career. Possible explanations are considered in light of insights derived from the ‘psychosocial’ turn in qualitative research associated particularly with Hollway and Jefferson’s Doing Qualitative Research Differently (2001/2013). The project was an interview-based study of the life experiences of middle aged and older Irish emigrants in England, conducted in the late 1990s in Birmingham and Manchester. The article considers the failure as a possible psychic defence against the anxiety that completion and publication would be a betrayal of the interviewees, many of whom described experiences distressing to themselves and the interviewer. The psychoanalytic concepts of ‘transference’ and ‘countertransference’ are used to speculate as to the role of the unconscious at work in the interview encounters and how, despite class and generational differences, psychodynamic fantasies relating to both interviewees’ and interviewer’s migration histories and experiences may have impacted upon each other. Introduction Many researchers leave unfinished projects behind them and experience varying degrees of regret and uncertainty as to the reasons for reluctance or inability to bring the research to fruition. This article concerns a qualitative research project from earlier in my career that never reached completion and remains a source of guilt and shame for me. It revisits the research critically using a psychosocial lens in an attempt to identify and consider the possible underlying reasons for this failure.

What Makes Our Tours So Special: We come together on this sacred pilgimage as a group of healers, from all walks of life, to bring healing energies of love and compassion to the energetic Celtic ley lines (also known as farie lines) located at various sacred sites in Ireland. We participate in several sacred ceremonies including poetry, music, meditation and songs to connect heart to heart in this most magical place called the Emerald Isle. Traditional music is a big part of this tour, for the most authentic Irish expereince. People often say that traveling to Ireland is like stepping back in time to a land steeped in rich culture, history and spirituality; a less rushed lifestyle in a magical setting, where people meet you with a smile and a twinkle in their eye. Everyone who has traveled with us on previous excursions describes this trip as a life-changing event in their lives; the memories and friendships forged will last a lifetime. Tour Itinerary: Our tour itinerary is still being finalized, but sights on the agenda include the Beltane Stone Circle, Glenveagh National Park, Slieve League, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle, Leo’s Tavern, and lots of great traditional Irish music.

  • Northern Ireland
    26/09/2021 Real Heritage Pubs Online Guide Using this guide The descriptions in this guide make clear the significance of each interior. The pubs fall into two distinct categories: On the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors for pubs that remain wholly or largely intact since before World War Two, or are exceptional examples of intact post-war schemes completed before 1970, or which retain particular rooms or other internal features of exceptional historic importance. On the Regional Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors for the Northern Ireland . Inclusion criteria are lower than for the National listings but the same principles apply, with the emphasis on the internal fabric and what is authentically old. In the section More to Try are pubs that are considered to be of 'some regional importance', meaning that the criteria for a full Regional Inventory entry is not satisfied in terms of the overall layout and fittings, but that specific features are of sufficient quality for the pub to be considered noteworthy.

The Troubles understoodBy iOZ0TrLuS JoAnn DI agree with another reviewer that pictures would have helped to lKDiuleFb understand the dialogue, but the internet helped provide that. Having watched j4x4nvMlH what happened in Northern Ireland with interest during the 70's onward I felt the zS0ohWYeT need to understand the whole picture and this book provided me with that. When I XKuNyvyZ5 first moved to the St Paul MN during the troubles I went to an Irish pub where I jxQ1TCy1e put money in a can to help the children of Belfast. Now I am not sure where that m8fvzPBkw money went but I know many Irish Americans felt the IRA were Freedom Fighters. The IRA along with the Protestant Loyalist killers would receive no sympathy in this age. I think that Non-violent Civil Disobedience would have made more of an impact. It is hard to believe that to this day there is a wall separating the Catholic and Protestant in one area of Belfast.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
