An domhan trí chéile

Ní raibh ann ach gnáth-fhaisnéis aimsire curtha isteach ag cléireach Oifig an Phoist, Maureen Flavin, ach de bharr é a bheith idircheapa ag Eisenhower cuireadh moill ar D-Day agus tháinig athrú  ar chúrsaí an chogaidh agus ar chúrsaí staire an domhain dá bharr.

Cloisfidh tú an scéal léanmhar faoi Theach Solais na Carraige Duibhe, an t-aon áit í gContae Mhaigh Eo ionsaithe ag an Luftwaffe, ionsaí a d’fhág an díon, na fuinneoga agus an laindéar scriosta agus a d’fhág fear óg Éireannach marbh.
Foghlaim faoi Operation Green, an cód-ainm ar plean Hitler chun Eire a ionsaí ar a mbealach go dtí an Bhreatain. De réir Operation Green ainmníodh an Muirthead mar limistéar a raibh spéis mhíleata ag baint leis. An bagairt i ndáiríre a bhí sa phlean Operation Green nó bhféidir iarracht chun fórsaí míleata a chur amú?

Ár Neodracht i mBaol

Ar an turas treoraithe beidh tú gafa le stair fhíorspéisiúil an ama. Cloisfidh tú faoi túr Napoléon ag Glais in aice láimhe atá le feiceáil ó Theach Solais na Carraige Duibhe agus faoi na comharthaí séamafóir a sheoladh eadarthu i bhfad roimh theacht na teicneolaíochta. Tá iarsma de comhartha ‘Éire’ – Éire 6 – le feiceáil in aice láithreach. Úsáideadh na litreacha móra seo, a tógadh idir 1942 agus 1943, mar áiseanna loingseoireachta chun cur in iúl do bhuamadóirí san aer go raibh siad ag eitilt thar Éirinn neodrach. Tharla mórán gníomhaíochta U-Bhád le linn Cath an Atlantaigh agus ag an am sin bhí neodracht na hÉireann i mbaol ar bhonn laethúil!

"One of the best guided tours I have been on. The guide, Maureen Sweeney's Grandson himself, was an amazing Guide. Nothing like a lifetime of hearing tales to be able to help you tell an amazing story yourself. I have been to some fantastic museums and guided tours and this one is high up on my list definitely worth the money. The surroundings are so beautiful and the history is rich."
