All aboard theNCF Gaeltacht Express!

Saturday January 31st / Depart: 5pm (from Ballina) Dunnes Store bustop / Return: before midnight
‘Bhfuil giota beag Gaeilge agat? Are you curious what lies hidden in the corner of Mayo, behind the great bog? Is there a Gaeltacht in Mayo at all at all at all?
You can find out by boarding the inaugural Gaeltacht express leaving Ballina at 5pm, Saturday the 31st January and returning home sometime before mean oíche, le cúnamh Dé.
We’ll be stopping at Teach Denny in Ros Dúmhach and Teach Chonghóile in Ceathrú Thaidhg and having the craic along the way, speaking a bit of Irish and more than likely playing a bit of music.
Our tour guide is a man who’s been in all the Gaeltachtaí in Ireland and come back alive — Darren Ó Riagáin. Darren is an NCF mainstay with his band WOT — you know him to see at the very least.
To whet the appetite a little bit, here’s Darren talking about what you can expect if this is your maiden voyage (way) west:
