A great little bookshop that has a great selection of most excellent books and also does sinful coffee and cookies. Letterfrack, Connemara

Driving through Letterfrack with an old friend of mine living around here and he casually mentions that the regular local Free Palestine demo will take place there tomorrow. I mean, LETTERFRACK. #speirghorm

Spent some time in Conamara last year. The weekly Gaza protest in Letterfrack was very well attended.

NGL there is something deeply satisfying about seeing an immigrant (and a Black one at that) polling so highly after all the shite we’ve been hearing about “legitimate concerns”

What do you know, the people are decent after all

The same thing was done to the notorious children's prison run by the Christian Brothers, Letterfrack, back in the 90s. A cursed site, now occupied by offices and apartments.

Another one for #Whites&Brights. Socks from #handspun Galway wool. And the Galway sheep the wool came from, before and after shearing. Knitted at a wool demonstration in the Connemara National Park in Letterfrack, Ireland.

Old abandoned houses. This is outside Letterfrack and there is a lot of potato ridges in the area as well

Please do not visit these without the landowners consent

Once a year, I like to lose myself in the west of the beautiful country in which I live, Ireland. This year I am heading to the village of Letterfrack, in County Galway (in the north of the county, known also as Connemara). It's remote, but thankfully the hotel recently got new EV chargers!

Possibly the saddest and loneliest place in Ireland 😢

Letterfrack Industrial School for boys graveyard.

All these boys died in the care of the state. So much violence, sexual abuse, neglect and brutality inflicted on boys here for almost 100 years until 1974.

Ireland's presidential inauguration chair was made from native oak, symbolic of strength and endurance

Here's some background from a beautiful book that I copy-edited in 2018 artisanhouse.ie/product/see-... #SpéirGhorm #SpéirGorm
Hardback book on a wooden floor: "See the Wood from the Trees: The story of storm-felled timber gifted to GMIT Letterfrack from Áras an Uachtarán", by Marion McGarry & Dermot O'Donovan. Foreword by Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland. Introduction by Duncan Stewart. Poetry by Theo Dorgan. Published by Artisan House, Connemara. The cover shows a cross-section of timber in close-up, bright orange, with the book title in green all-caps. Two pages from the book "See the Wood from the Trees". Each has a photo. On the left, President Mary McAleese and Dr Michael Hannon, registrar of GMIT, stand at a reception in Áras an Uachtarán to mark the presentation of lecterns in 2008. On the right, John Lee stands with the Presidential Inauguration Chair that he designed. Text on page 96: Áras an Uachtaráin and GMIT Letterfrack have enjoyed a fruitful relationship for decades. Students and graduates of the college have produced a range of furniture for Áras an Uachtaráin over the years. In 1992 Mary Robinson visited GMIT Letterfrack, and in 2006 Mary McAleese opened the GMIT Letterfrack Furniture Gallery. Mary McAleese was enthralled by the quality of student work, and in 2008 she asked students to design and make a lectern for use in the Áras. When she received the three final designs for selection, she was so impressed by them that all three were commissioned and are now in use throughout the reception rooms of Áras an Uachtaráin. Page 97: In 2011, GMIT Letterfrack graduate John Lee won the tender to design and make the new Presidential Inauguration Chair. The Office of Public Works brief was exacting, requiring that the chair be 'presidential, not regal', and be of a 'sufficient timeless design and character to be suitable for use for many future inaugurations'. For the material, John chose Irish white oak, symbolic of strength and endurance. The chair has a broad back and is characterised by outstretched sweeping arms, which reflect the Irish phrase céad míle fáilte, or 'welcome'. President Higgins was the first Irish president to use the chair, at his inauguration as the ninth president of Ireland in 2009.
