Serie of Heritage Week events planned at Sligo Abbey focussing on tours, tunes and song
And for Sligo Abbey, a heritage site that traces its foundation to the mid-13th century beginnings of Sligo town, it's a theme that couldn't be more appropriate. With this in mind, the OPW staff at Sligo Abbey has arranged a series of special events for every day of Heritage Week, all of which take their inspiration from 'foundations' of one kind or another. Sligo Abbey OPW Information Officer and Guide Trisha O'Loughlin will get events started on the 16th when she delves into the intriguing world of Irish mythology, beliefs and customs relating to Lough Gill and the foundation of Sligo itself. What promises to be fascinating hour-long talks will begin at 11am and 3:30pm, on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th. Admission is free and no booking is required. On Wednesday, August 20th at 2pm, the Abbey presents 'Centuries of Sound', an event that will explore the rich and influential heritage of Irish traditional music in Sligo. It will include a talk by the musician, archivist and author Gregory Daly, whose essay 'Transcending the Limits of Our Time, Traditional Music in County Sligo' was published in the book 'Sligo, History and Society'. 'Centuries of Sound' will be followed by trad-fusion tunes and songs from The Cloister Boys, made up of two OPW staff at the Abbey, Barry Mulligan on ukulele, vocals and bodhran, and Harry Keaney, on banjo, whistle and bodhran. The Cloister Boys will also perform on Sundays 17th and 24th at 2pm. Guided tours of Sligo Abbey are available throughout the week. On Thursday, August 21st at 2pm, Harry Keaney will give a special tour focusing on the Dominicans, the religious order that occupied the Abbey for about 500 years from the mid-13th century, and whose successors remain in Sligo, in the Friary in High Street, to this day. Sounds and vibration are arguably the most primal of human experiences and on Friday, August 22nd at 8:30am and 6pm, there's the opportunity to experience a deeply immersive Gong Bath led by Marielle Barends, where sounds and vibrations will guide you into a meditative and restful state. Admission is free but booking is essential, contact the abbey or emailing sligoabbey@ Like to try charcoal drawing in the Abbey? All ages and abilities will be catered for with 'Art in theAbbey' on Saturday, August 23rd between 10:30am and 3:30pm. Admission is free but places must be booked in advance by emailing sligoabbey@ Children must be supervised; materials will be provided. Heritage Week will come to a close at Sligo Abbey on Sunday, August 24th with a number of guided tours, and a performance at 2pm by The Cloister Boys. Sligo Abbey's Head Guide, Dr. Andrew Whitefield, said he hoped there would be something for everyone, with events on every day through Heritage Week. 'The theme of 'Foundations' is perfect for Sligo Abbey, a historic site that traces its origins to the foundation of Sligo town itself. The Abbey has borne witness to all that's happened on the shores of the Garavogue River for almost eight centuries. You haven't truly experienced Sligo town if you haven't visited its stunning Abbey, with its 13th century origins. And this is something more and more people are discovering.. 'This year, we are on target for almost 50,000 visitors, an extraordinary number when only a few years ago, that number was fewer than 20,000. 'We're very proud to be able to offer such a rich historical experience to travellers along the Wild Atlantic. And Heritage Week is the ideal opportunity to spread that positive message far and wide.'

Taoiseach to commemorate 200th anniversary of major Irish migration to Canada
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Canadian ambassador Dennis King are to pay tribute to a little-known migration of 2,000 Irish people to the North American country 200 years ago. They will be involved in a series of commemorations which will be attended by up to 500 descendants of impoverished Irish people who left Cobh, Co Cork, in nine ships for a new life in the Canadian wilderness. The commemorations will take place next month to highlight what is known as the 1825 'Peter Robinson experiment'. Mr Robinson, a senior British colonial official charged with population expansion in the Canadian wilderness, surmised even before the pre-famine era that many Irish people were so impoverished, they stood a better chance to survive in that country's vast and often inhospitable lands. It is estimated there are more than 100,000 Canadian descendants of those who emigrated, mainly from Doneraile, Mitchelstown, Charleville, and a number of villages along the Blackwater Valley in Co Cork and others who came from East Limerick. HISTORY HUB If you are interested in this article then no doubt you will enjoy exploring the various history collections and content in our history hub. Check it out HERE and happy reading The bulk of those who went were families, and all had to get recommendations from local landlords before Mr Robinson would accept them on board the ships. They helped to create the town of Peterborough in Ontario, which is named in Mr Robinson's honour. While many were from family groups, there were some single people as well but nobody over the age of 45 was eligible for the settlement programme. On arrival, each emigrant was given 70 acres and, in exchange, they had to pay the Canadian government rent. The 'homecoming' for their descendants is being organised by rural development company Ballyhoura GLC, which has planned a number of events in the North Cork and Limerick regions from September 15 to 21. Two key events in Mitchelstown Two key events announced will take place at St George's Arts and Heritage Centre in Mitchelstown. The first, on September 19 at 8pm, will be a concert featuring an evening of traditional Irish music, song, and dance and will honour the legacy of the Robinson settlers. It will feature a number of performers, including Ceoltóirí Mhúscraí. The following day, the same venue will host the 'Peter Robinson Settlers Emigration Scheme Conference'. It will be opened by Mr Martin and Mr King, and will feature a number of keynote lectures delivered by a panel of speakers from Ireland, Canada, and the US, including historians, genealogists, archaeologists, and some of the descendants of the original settlers. Speakers will include Jay Roszman, Gerard Moran, Jane McGaughey, Bill Power, and Dennis Carter-Edwards. Genealogical insights will come from Glenn O'Meara, Matt Barry, and Jane Halloran, while other contributors will include Christy Roche, who has just written a book about the Robinson emigrants. 'Underappreciated chapter' of Irish emigration Mr King said the Robinson settlement is an underappreciated chapter in the broader history of Irish migration to Canada. He added: 'The conference will be a fantastic opportunity for national and local leaders, Ballyhoura region residents, and descendants of the settlers to develop their understanding and support the legacy of that unique and remarkably successful emigration scheme.' "The Embassy of Canada enthusiastically supports Ballyhoura Development's efforts in organising the conference and the broader gathering, and I look forward to attending and participating in those valuable exchanges."

US talk show host Stephen Colbert has caused a stir amongst his Irish viewers following an interview with actress Jenna Ortega. The Wednesday star appeared on Late Night with Stephen Colbert in recent weeks, where she discussed the second season of the Netflix show and how she found filming in Ireland. In the conversation, Jenna touched on her time living in Dublin as well as the Irish weather and our beloved Guinness. US talk show host Stephen Colbert has caused a stir amongst his Irish viewers following an interview with actress Jenna Ortega. Pic: TikTok Jenna noted that filming in Dublin, Ireland was 'very different' to filming in Romania, where season one of the Addams Family adaptation was shot. 'That's a great town!' Stephen lauded, with Jenna agreeing before Stephen then revealed he was 'going over pretty soon again.' Jenna responded: 'I love it there. I feel like if the weather wasn't so sh**ty, they would probably get a ton of people coming.' @colbertlateshow Jenna Ortega recalls the craics of filming @wednesdaynetflix Season 2 in Ireland. #Colbert #JennaOrtega #Wednesday ♬ original sound – colbertlateshow The clips, which were shared to the official TikTok of Late Night with Stephen Colbert, has amassed almost half a million likes, though many have taken to the comments hitting out at the capital of Ireland being labelled a 'town.' One said: 'Not him calling Dublin a town.' Another wrote: 'Lol [laugh out loud] Dublin is a city not a town.' The Wednesday star appeared on Late Night with Stephen Colbert in recent weeks, where she discussed the second season of the Netflix show and how she found filming in Ireland. Pic: TikTok A third added: 'Dublin a town omg [oh my god] I've heard it all. COUNTY!!' Some came to Stephen's defense, noting that Dubliners would say they were 'heading into town' with one quickly pointing out 'every does that, even in Limerick city people saying going into town.' A fourth person explained: 'Into town means going into the city centre, but we don't call the whole thing a town. Town is just another word for city centre.' Elsewhere, Jenna expressed her love for the Irish accent as she refuted claims that it is hard to understand. She also spoke about her experience at trying Guinness. 'I remember it was so weird when I went there I didn't even like Guinness or anything like that and by the end [of filming], I was singing in a pub at two in the morning with a group of people I had never met before,' the actress shared.
