In Search Of Ancient Ireland . Culture And Commerce | PBS
Later texts seem to confirm that the Celtic culture also arrived and that the Age ireland are similar to those found in the Continental Celtic culture.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/ancientireland/culture.html

Extractions: Ireland at this time was made up of a number of small communities known as "Tuatha," Irish for a people or a tribe. The overlords or kings of these communities had no real power, and succession was not guaranteed by birthright as it was in the rest of Europe. On the death of a chieftain or king, a committee met to determine the future leader. The kings were as subject to the law as anyone else and had no ownership of the land. No Irish ruler ever had the kind of power that his European counterpart had. There was a strong sense of cultural unity, however, as the important feast days often saw large gatherings at the major ritual sites to celebrate and honor the gods and goddesses. Traveling poets and lawyers, known as Brehons, likewise brought a sense of cultural unity as they interacted between the different communities. Ancient Irish law was known as Brehon Law. According to the surviving law tracts, the people with the most important status were the poets. For many years, even beyond the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century, poets enjoyed the rich patronage of the wealthy families. They were held in the highest esteem but were also feared because it was believed that their satire could wound or even kill.
Elanora Heights Primary School - Information - Liffey
School project about the River Liffey in Dublin compiled by students from Elanora Heights Primary School. Illustrates how a local river can be used as a focus for studies of local culture, geography, and environmental issues.
http://www.iol.ie/~ndnsp/rivers/liffey1.htm

Extractions: The reports come from the students of Gerard Maloney of the North Dublin National School Project , Ireland. The river Liffey is the main river in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. It rises in Sally Gap near Kippure in Wicklow, the county just south of Dublin. It then travels one hundred and twenty five kilometres through the centre of Dublin City, and out into Dublin Bay, and out to the Irish Sea. Tadhg O. On the river Liffey there are 16 bridges.The first is the Anna Livia Bridge. The Anna Livia Bridge was originally named Chapelizod Bridge, but it changed on 5th April 1982 and became the Anna Livia Bridge in honour of James Joyce, author of the world famous novel "Finnegan's Wake". He called the river Anna Livia Plurabelle.The bridge is built on an ancient Ford site on the old highway leading to the west of Ireland.

Extractions: Deserted now, the Drumanagh peninsula is believed to have once been a major trading post. lthough Ireland lay outside of the Roman Empire, the Irish traded with the Romans. The Drumanagh peninsula, just north of Dublin, is believed to have been a major trading post between Ireland and the Empire. Deserted now, archeological evidence tells of a once bustling place with people from all over Europe bartering and trading with the Irish. Irish raiders plundered along the Roman British coast and carried people off to sell them into slavery in Ireland. Slavery was an important institution throughout Europe at this time. When Christianity arrived in the middle of the 5th century, Ireland was a rural society made up of about 100 or so communities without any central political power. Within a hundred years, monasteries developed and they were practically indistinguishable from secular society. Eventually, these monasteries became centers of wealth and commerce. The best artists and craftsmen were employed by them, and they produced some of the finest work in Europe. Illuminated manuscripts, beautiful jewelry, and ornate chalices were typical products of the workshops of the large monasteries. Stonemasons were employed to carve the immense stone crosses, sometimes called Celtic Crosses, still seen across Ireland today. The Vikings first arrived in Ireland to plunder the wealthy monasteries, but they eventually founded the first Irish towns. Dublin, founded by the Vikings, became a great center of trade for the whole of Europe. Slave trading was an important part of this. The Vikings introduced coinage and improved shipping into Ireland while trading, which had been a part of Irish commerce from the earliest times, took on a more meaningful economic role. By the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century, Dublin was established as a wealthy commercial city with merchants from all parts of Europe living and trading there.

Extractions: Welcome to Irish Culture and Customs, a labor of love we began several years ago. What started as a surprise milestone birthday trip to Ireland became the beginning of a journey through time. A 2,000-year voyage on a quest to learn as much as we can about everything Irish. So here's where we are so far - more than 500 pages that range from Irish poetry superstitions and recipes to specific Irish calendar celebrations such as St. Patrick's Day and the Feast of St. Brigid . Whether it's an Irish symbol such as the shillelagh or an Irish craft like Aran Isle knitting , you'll discover a wide range of topics in our index . We hope you find the little bit of Ireland you may be looking for. While my father was from Galway and was very prejudiced against Protestants from the North, he didn't allow his political leanings to interfere with his love of certain ballads about northern counties and their breath-taking landscapes. He had a wonderful voice and I loved to hear him sing The Green Glens of Antrim... "Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land,with the sea rippling over the shingle and sand, where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee and the green glens of Antrim are calling to me..."

Hugh emigrated from Donegal to the US aboard the ship 'Clare' during 'An Gorta Mor', the Great Hunger. Hugh arrived on June 6, 1849 in NYC only 19 and illiterate. It was never his desire to leave his beloved Donegal; he had no choice. Had he not emigrated, he would have died of starvation just as millions of Irish men, women and children did. Through his courage and determination, he gave us, his descendants, the most precious gifts of life and freedom.
