There was a film with Colm Meaney released last year on this subject. Very emotional. Good luck with the fundraising.

I have their album and their first track is a killer.
The harmonies on The West Awake are nice but overall, I prefer this track the least actually.

Hi John,
I’m sorry if I have come to the wrong forum, as my comment is really about the lookaroundireland.com web site, I just could not find a contact address there.
I am Swedish and I live in Sweden, but I have a genuine interest in Ireland. As I looked up your (?) web site from Sweden I got the Swedish translation of it. Unfortunately it looks as a machine translation and it is partly quite difficult to understand. Some parts make no sense at all. Like the expanation of the name “Clare”. The English text uses the word “board” probably meaning something like a plank, but the Swedish “translation” uses the word “styrelse”, which is a board meaning the board of a company.
If you would like to have a better translation I would like to help you. As I am a professional translator and I guess that your budget for translations is zero I cannot promise I can do the job quickly, but I am willing to give it a few hours for free if you are not in a hurry.
Best regards
Tomas Bergstrom

Gordon,

Yes if possible we will collaborate to raise the profile of the event.
As for a World Record only allowed to take place at your event is like saying only world records can be set at the Olympics ?? There is no logic for this.

I am pleased that there is an Irish Bog Snorkelling Champships, and we shall look forward to mutual collaboration. However I would like to point out that the World Record Time can only be taken at the World Championships in Llanwrtyd Wells. We do not recognise these times as world records and will advise the Guinness Book of Records accord ingly. Good luck for your Event and please keep in touch.
