A GUIDE TO THE SILENCE OF THE IRISH OTHER WORLD



by Seán Mac Eachaidh BA (Hons)
ISBN 978-1-4710-4848-7 ( Copyright date 2012)
An alternative, North of Ireland touring template, that incorporates a soulful gaze on what might have shaped an ancient Irish psyche to a present day mindset. A journey that also includes the blissful, mystical and silent Irish other worlds filled with awe inspiring sights, landscapes and deserted homesteads. A journey filled with ponderings on Irish history, living memory and future aspiration. A tour experience, where ancient Irish standing stones, parting places, old graveyards are all combined, with the present day community dividing walls, to reveal, a silent narrative and to provide, a more authentic visit. A tour where there are 2 tales concerning the great ship, The Titanic and the Belfast Ship-yard, where this largest man-made vessel of its era was built. Another tale, which is a relatively  silent taboo topic  surrounding the an endemic employment discrimination.
