Geocache Description:


Tá an taisce seo i bhfolach ar an Spidéal baile atá san áit a dtéann Abhainn Bholuisce le farraige. De réir an tseanachais tháinig an t’ainm Spidéal ó oispís nó ospidéal a bhí lonnaithe ar an gCré Dhubh do dhaoine a d’fhill abhaile tinn ó na Crosáidí.

Suite sa Ghaeltacht, 18 km siar ó Ghaillimh tá daonra de thart fá 250 duine sa tsráidbhaile agus thart fá 2000 sa cheantar máguaird.

 

This cache is hidden in the village of an Spidéal where the river Boluisce flows into the sea. It is seaid that the name of Spidéal comes from a hospice or hospital that was located in the townland of An Cré Dhubh, for injured/ill people returning from the crusades.

Situated in the Gaeltacht, (Irish speaking area) Gaeilge/Irlsh is the common language that people speak in the village. Try out your "cúpla focal" in the local shops etc.

Blúiríní Eolais:
Léiritear an Sobal Dhráma Ros na Rún i stiúideonna EO Teilifís. Seo an t-aon sraith drámaíochta teilifíse atá lonnaithe i gceantar tuaithe in Éirinn. Ba as an Spidéal d’athair an stiúrthóir scannáin Meiriceánach John Ford (The Quiet Man). Ba as Cill Rónáin, Inis Mór Árainn dá mháthair Bairbre. Rugadh an scríobhnóir Máirtín Ó Cadhain (Cré na Cille) sa Spidéal i 1905. 

The soap opera series Ros na Rún (Broadcast on TG4) is recorded in the EO Teilifís studios. It's is the only tv drama series filmed in Ireland that is situated in a countryside setting. The father of american film director John Ford (The Quiet Man) was from An Spidéal. His mother Bairbre was born in Cill Rónáin on Inis Mór (one of the Oileáin Árainn/Aran Islands). The writer Máirtín Ó Cadhain (Cré na Cille) was born in An Spidéal in 1905.
