North Mayo Ireland reveals a side of Ireland many visitors never get to experience—remote Atlantic villages, Gaelic culture, traditional pubs, extraordinary coastal scenery, local history, fishing communities, and the people keeping this part of County Mayo alive.
Join It’s Good to Talk host John D. Healy as he returns to his roots in North Mayo and travels through the Rossport and Erris region with his brother Michael Healy, a former local school principal who shares stories, Irish place names, folklore, history, and memories of growing up in the area.
Their journey explores Rossport, Broadhaven Bay, Glenamoy, Carrowteige/Ceathrú Thaidhg, Portacloy and surrounding communities while discussing traditional fishing, Irish emigration, Gaeltacht life, old dance halls, hiking, kayaking, cycling, local pubs, tourism, rural communities and the changing face of the west of Ireland.
This is not the Ireland found on the usual tourist itinerary. It is a journey through the villages, landscapes and communities of North Mayo, Ireland, told by people with a lifelong connection to the area.
John D. Healy is also the co-author of a book with Stoney McGurrin.
