OTD 1607 Hugh O'Neill with Rory O'Donnell, their families and adherents left Rathmullan for Europe, never to return and what has become known as the Flight of the Earls. O'Neill never stopped trying to return, but he would die exiled in Rome 9 years later #nineyearswar

Maidin mhaith daoibh. Sceitiminí orm go mbeidh deis agam mo chuid Gaeilge a fheabsú go luath. An bhfuil tú ag foghlaim na Gaeilge no ag déanamh iarracht snas a chuir ar di chuid Gaeilge?
Tá nuacht mhaith agam a chairde! Táim cláraithe ar chúrsa TEG B2 le Gaelchultúr i gceann cúpla seachtaine 🥳 Ag súil go mór leis! #Gaeilge
