According to research by University of Illinois, many U.S. baby boomers are strongly interested in a genealogical tour of Ireland to discover their roots. Many Americans, Australians and New Zealanders of Irish origin cherish the idea of discovering their origins.
Once they reach Ireland they have the opportunity to discover their noble arms and a legacy of births, deaths, weddings that immortalize the lives of their ancestors who were living in tiny thatched cottages. Visitors can learn about their roots and gain an understanding of the sacrifices of those who decided to leave Ireland to seek a better life elsewhere

Derry Blue Badge Guide organizes genealogy tours on request-contact us at [email protected] for more details

The Derry Photo Archive is a project which explores the changes in the city of Derry due to the impact of the political conflict and the changes in the city's historic architecture. The website contains two galleries which show how some streets and buildings have changed beyond recognition whilst others retain their original features and character. The second gallery reflects the countless street confrontations, explosions and military occupation of the past. It gives just a taste of what things were like and reminds us of how far Derry has come as a result of the successful peace process.

To view the galleries visit derryphotoarchive.wordpress.com

Thanks to our students Marianna, Gaia and Ginevra for creating the galleries !

On the night in Dublin on the Liffey River, the bridge dedicated to Sean O ' Casey (1880-1964), famous playwright connected to the Irish nationalist cause is laid. The bridge is 100 meters long and was inaugurated in 2005. In the foreground is the sailboat 'Jeanie Johnson', a faithful replica of the ship that carried over 2500 Irish immigrants to America in the middle of the Eighties.
Nella notte di Dublino sul fiume Liffey si staglia il ponte dedicato a Sean O' Casey (1880 - 1964), celebre drammaturgo legato alla causa nazionalista irlandese. Il ponte è lungo 100 metri ed è stato inaugurato nel 2005. In primo piano il veliero 'Jeanie Johnson', fedele replica della nave che a metà Ottocento trasportò in America oltre 2500 emigranti irlandesi.

Agriculture and tourism are two of the most important industries in FERMANAGH. The main types of farming in the area are beef, dairy, sheep, pigs and some poultry. Most of the agricultural land is used as grassland for grazing and silage or hay rather than for other crops. The waterways are extensively used by cabin cruisers, other small pleasure craft and anglers.

The main town of Fermanagh is Enniskillen (Inis Ceithleann, 'Ceithleann's island'). The island town hosts a range of attractions including the Castle Coole Estate and Enniskillen Castle, which is home to the museum of The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards.
