There’s a pleasant formality and reservation about people in the more remote parts of Connemara which I love; it’s an antidote to the brash, loud, intrusive behaviour of most people today. The only other place I’ve seen that reservation is actually in rural England, where the same friendly but formal “public manners” still exist. I probably learned most of my conduct as a child from standing next to my grandparents outside the church after Mass chatting to the neighbours in rural Connemara- those constant moments of exchange where you had to be on best behaviour and not intrude. You were brought up to be patient, polite, and to LISTEN. Being a show-off or bragger was social death; public life was about modesty and not being a nuisance. One thing that stands out crystal clear was the constant warning to not embarrass your family. My grandfather, for example, despised drunkenness and when I came home plastered one night (a two-mile walk from the pub!) he didn’t speak to me for two whole days as he was livid that I’d been in the local pub “making an amadan of yourself”. For all those reasons Connemara is very different to the rest of the country- “an island within an island”; a place that’s hard to be fully accepted in if you’re not at least a blood relative of someone in the locality…and even that doesn’t guarantee you’ll be fully accepted into the fold.

This is such priceless, interesting & wonderful viewing, but equally, so sad to be reminded of what the British did in Ireland & what they did to the people who lived in Ireland & here in the West. The unnecessary cruelty, brutality, pain & hardships that they brought to so many Irish peoples. IMPO, I think it's one of the greatest shames & to this day, Ireland's never fully recovered from those days. I'm heading to Ireland end of this year, so I'm very much looking forward to my visit & my time there & I long to spend precious time with Ireland's wonderful inhabitants. Thanks for sharing this.

What utter rubbish ! You need to do some proper research and you will discover that the British developed and improved the lives of the vast majority of the populations of the countries in the British Empire. (in particular India).

I was wondering the same thing just now, but I'm guessing this may have been filmed in the late 70s &/or early to mid 80s, or thereabouts. I'm not 100% sure of it was filmed in the 70s, but in my humble opinion, it appears to be more so the early 80s. Initially I thought it was all filmed in the 70s, but if you look @ many things within this video, such as the general dress & use of appliances within the kitchen, etc; it spells more so, the early 80s.

The word "MARA" is taken from the Irish word that means the sea & that is....."MUIR" . Connemara can very well be translated as the "Conmhaícne tribe", who lived/live by the sea. Connemara's archaeology dates back 1000's of years, so there's much early history dotted around, specifically beneath the earth's surface.
