-And it's true. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
-It's a little wet, but there are 50 -different types of greenery here... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
-..which is why -it's called the Emerald Isle. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
-I'm heading for a small group -of islands off the western coast... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
-..the Blasket Islands. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
-I wanted to say, -"Here I am on Blasket Island... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
-..Europe's most westerly point." -But I can't. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
-That's Blasket Island over there. -I'm here. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-It's too windy to go there today. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-Oh, well, it happens. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
-This is Great Blasket Island - -An Bhlascaoid Mhoir. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-Five miles long -and less than half a mile across. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-In the 1920s and 1930s... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-..some of the island's inhabitants -wrote books which became classics. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
-I've read two of them -and they're superb. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-They wrote about the simple life -on the island. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
-The books were all written -in the Irish language. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-They've been translated -into many other languages. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-Life was hard here. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
-In 1953, most of the remaining -families left the island. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-It's a tourist attraction today - -when boats can reach it! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-I headed inland -towards Dingle in County Kerry. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
-It's one of the prettiest places -in Ireland. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-Driving on the roads can be fun - -as long as you're not in a hurry. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
-This is Inch beach - one of -Ireland's most famous beaches. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-Scenes from "Ryan's Daughter" and -"Playboy of the Western World"... | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
-..were filmed here. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
-I pass some brand-new bungalows -as I head for Dingle. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
-Dingle has hardly changed -over the last few centuries. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-Foxy John's pub... no, shop... | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-..no, pub... Well, whatever it is, -hasn't changed either. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-A girl doesn't feel too stupid -walking in on her own. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
-How are you? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-I'm very well, how are you? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-There are loads of pubs like this in -Ireland - a bar and a shop combined. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
-This shop sells all sorts. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
-The same man -serves both sets of customers. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-Wales you're from? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
-Wales you're from? - -Yes - you know Wales? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
-How much is that? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-That's two thirty. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-I worked in Wales. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
-Where? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
-A place called Warsaw! | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-Warsaw?! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
-That's Poland! Sorry, sorry! | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
-Guinness can be dangerous! | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-Cut, cut, cut, cut! | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-It's on the same latitude. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-The bar was a mixture -of locals and tourists. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-The presence of tourists -didn't bother the locals. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-They actually welcomed them. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-The Irish could teach us -a thing or two. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-They're always friendly. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
-Oh, my God! It was nice to meet you! | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-Very friendly sometimes. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
-Is that alright? Is that alright? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
-That's alright. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
-You're a very strong man. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
-Oh, I am! | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-I wanted to spend more time -in Dingle but we had to move on. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
-There's been a lot of investment -and modernisation in Ireland. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-But there's 6,000 years of history -in this area. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-Ancient ruins can be seen -all over the place. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-This is Ireland's oldest golf club - -Dooks Golf Club... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
-..established in 1889. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-Some think golf was invented -in Ireland. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-The early Celts played hurly, -which is similar to golf. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-Faster, and somewhat -more dangerous... | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-..but the club looks quite similar. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-Most Irish people play golf. -Declan Mangan gave me a lesson. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-He also gave me an Irish lesson. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-Try the ball this time. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-Will I hit somebody? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-No, no - buailim an liathroid. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
-No, no - buailim an liathroid. - -What does that mean? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-Buailim an liathroid, mas e do thoil -- hit the ball, please. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:33 | |
-OK. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
-I'll hit the ball. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
-Oh, dear, here goes. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
-OK. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-Right. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-Get out of the way. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-OK, right, here goes. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
-It's still there! | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
-You have just experienced -your first fresh air. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-Buailim an aer - a fresh shot. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
-Aris. Aris means again. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-Aris, aris. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-I hit the tee! | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
-It was a case of aris, aris. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-The Emerald Isle is one -of Europe's premier golf venues. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
-The Ryder Cup will be held here -later in the year. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
-Somehow, -I don't think I'll make the team. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-Having said that, -I had a great time at Dooks. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
-Remember, ceann sios - -keep your head down. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-It's difficult to do that here -because we're surrounded... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
-..with wonderful scenery. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-That's the end of the Atlantic Ocean -and that's the Dingle Peninsula. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
-That's Carrauntoohil - -Ireland's highest mountain. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-It's hiding today. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
-Here we are at the green. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-Things improved on the green! | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-Ceann sios. Ceann sios. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:05 | |
-You might be one of the best putters -ever to golf at Dooks first day out. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
-You're putting me under pressure. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-Off we go. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
-Thanks, Declan - I'll be back -once I've had some lessons. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-On to Killarney - birthplace -of the Pan Celtic Festival... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-..where some big names have won - -Eryr Wen, Geraint Griffiths, Enya... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-..the Chieftains, the Dubliners -and Merched Uwchllyn! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-It's a busy town in the summer -with busloads of tourists. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
-You need a machete -to read the road signs. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-There's more room to stay here -than anywhere else outside Dublin. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
-But the town itself -is relatively unexciting. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-Killarney National Park -is Ireland's oldest park. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-It was established in 1932 - 10,000 -hectares of trees, mountains... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-..old buildings and lakes. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
-Tir Na Nog -lies under one of the lakes. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Visit the sites on foot, by bike -or on a horse and carriage. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
-This is Muckross House. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-Queen Victoria stayed here in 1861. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-People believe that her visit -is the reason... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
-..that Killarney is so popular -with visitors. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-That's not true. People have been -coming here for years. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-This year, it celebrates -250 years as a tourist attraction. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
-Tourists have been coming here -since 1754 - not 1861. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-But royal approval must have helped. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-Next, like every other tourist, -I went to find some Irish craic. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
-Where are you from on the back wall? | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-Where are you from on the back wall? - -Cheltenham. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
-Many an euro and pound -I've lost there! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-Ger Healy, the singing jarvey, -has performed in Wales many times... | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-..with Ifan JCB and Trebor Edwards. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-Tonight, -we're in Kate Kearney's Cottage. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-This is a weekly event -for summer tourists. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-Locals join in, too - -any excuse for a dance and a pint. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
-I didn't dance - it reminded me -too much of a twmpath in Glanllyn! | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
-The following morning, after a -breakfast of bacon and soda bread... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
-..I moved on to Midleton. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-On the way, I stopped in Fermoy. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
-The horses at Glenview Stud -are thoroughbreds. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-Breeding racehorses has been -a way of life here for years. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-These two are worth -100,000 euros each. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-Dan's Your Man, nearest the hedge, -has won ten point-to-point races. | 0:09:54 | 0:10:00 | |
-It's easy to lose your way here. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-The road signs are always on -the corner - not before the corner. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-But after turning around time -after time, I reached Midleton. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
-I was given an invitation I couldn't -refuse - tasting Jameson's whiskey. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:18 | |
-Barry Crocket -is a master distiller at Jameson's. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-Before I sampled the real stuff, -I visited the heritage centre... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-..which attracts 15,000 visitors -every year. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
-They tend to leave in high spirits! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-So, this is the large still room. -You can see the large still here. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-How much whiskey -would you get into this? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-The normal content of that when -it was operating was 17,000 gallons. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
-It used to taken 14 hours to -distil the spirit from that volume. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
-It's then matured in oak casks. -And the Irish aren't stupid. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
-You can taste Irish whiskey -alongside Scotch and bourbon. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
-What we now do, -we just have a taste. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
-We take the Jameson -and have a little sip. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-The Jameson's was lovely. Tasting -the Scotch after it was horrible! | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
-The Scotch, as you can see, -has a much more smoky taste. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:30 | |
-After that, it's quite a shock. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-We then do the same with the... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-I sampled different types -of Jameson's - they were nice. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
-In Ireland, -whiskey is spelt with an 'E'. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-There's no 'E' in Scotch whisky. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-But they gave me an 'A'. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-A certificate as a qualified -Irish whiskey taster. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-Thank you. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
-Well done. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-Look! | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-888 | 0:12:04 | 0:12:04 | |
-888 | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
-Next on the line was the historical -town of Youghal... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-..the location for Captain Ahab's -harbour in the film "Moby Dick". | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
-Sir Walter Raleigh -was the town's mayor in 1588. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-He introduced potatoes and tobacco -to this part of the world. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
-He planted his first potato -in Youghal - apparently. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-He also smoked a pipe -in front of a lady... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-..who'd never seen a man -smoke a pipe before. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-She thought he was on fire - -so she doused him in water. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
-She wouldn't need to do that today. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-It rained incessantly. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
-It was still raining when I went -to the greyhound track that evening. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-I met Margaret and Sooty Black. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-I have Sooty Black in the sprint, -and in the final I have Ares Leader. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
-What's the top prize? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:08 | |
-What's the top prize? - -Of tonight's racing? 15,000 euros. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-Really? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-I'm not in that stake. -The one I'm in is 1,650 euros. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
-Alright. Take care. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-She's in the final. In the Woodchip. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-It's a big night. -As the sky darkens... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-..the crowd increases. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
-This is an occasion -for the whole family... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-..with plenty of handsome men! -I felt lucky! | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-I've placed a bet on Sooty Black - -Margaret's dog. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
-I've bet five euros. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-I haven't backed him to win. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-If he's first or second, -I'll win something. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
-Come on, Sooty. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:06 | |
-And they're off. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-Keep your eye on the black dog. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-And it was over. Just like that. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-Some smiled, others didn't. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
-Well... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-Sooty started badly. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-I think he was third. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-But that wasn't good enough. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-That'll teach me not to bet. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-There are ten races in all, -and six greyhounds in each one. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-The men would give me tips - -how could I resist? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
-Out came the euros -and off went the greyhounds. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
-The greyhound in last place -was my choice. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-I'm skint, but I've thoroughly -enjoyed myself. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-This is the only hot dog -I've had all night. Ha-ha! | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
-I'm on the last leg of my journey. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-I follow the line -to County Waterford. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-Even in the September rain, -the colours are wonderful. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
-How many different shades of green -can you see here? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
-Before long, I reached Waterford - -Ireland's oldest city. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
-It was established in 914. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-It's a very industrial town - -some think it's ugly. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
-But it produces some of Ireland's -most elegant and expensive crystal. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:59 | |
-Waterford crystal is world-renowned. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
-Every piece is handmade. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-One of the factory's master -craftsmen, Skippy, showed me around. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-His real name is Philip Sheridan -but his father's an Aussie. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-We all have a certain job to do. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-They have to do it right -because we're paying a piece rate. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-If it goes wrong, -you don't get paid. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
-Visitors aren't allowed -to blow glass now - but I had a go. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-I learnt a local term - to make -a "hames" of something - a mess! | 0:16:30 | 0:16:35 | |
-Oh! | 0:16:36 | 0:16:37 | |
-Blow harder. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-Whatever you do, don't suck! | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-I was trying to make a rose bowl. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-What is it? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
-What is it? - -What's your day job?! | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
-What's your day job? | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-I don't think you should give it up! | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
-It's a work of art. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-That'll be recycled. -We'll melt it down... | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
-..and you can come back tomorrow -and makes a hames of it again! | 0:17:06 | 0:17:12 | |
-It takes years of practice -to perfect this type of work. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
-I was surprised at their skills. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-The strangest people have made -a hames of it in the past. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-As I was saying to you. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |

-Do you know why? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |

-The handle's on the same side -as the spout. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-Somebody was here -and they were hungover. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
-Who would that be? | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
-Who would that be? - -I have no idea. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
-The biggest problem is, he didn't -know he'd done it that way! | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
