This week we've got a fun story about horse riding in the wild west - of Donegal, that is. Hold on tight! And if you like legendary beaches, there's an article on Spanish Point, a place mentioned in quite a few Irish songs. Thanks to our friend Maeve, who checked out this beautiful Atlantic strand for our members. Also, Celtic Halloween, which originated in the old country, why young Irish people are NOT in love with the EU and more.
Enjoy!
