    I’m late to this party but as an Irishman living in Boston Massachusetts I’m very impressed with this educational and informative video.That gentleman’s IRISH language is impressive.

    Proud to be of Newfoundland, Irish and English heritage. One of the most fascinating episodes of Land & Sea. We should all try to take a lesson from Mr. O'Brian and learn to pause to think and appreciate where we come from. We'd be a more humble people for it - What an interesting man.

    Thanks so much for this timeless program. My brother and I trekked back to Loughlinbridge, county Carlow -- the home of my great great grandmother Anne Shirley Cahill, who came over in 1817 and settled in the Ottawa Valley with her husband Michael Lacey Cahill. We had the same sense of wonder and nostalgia, and gratitude, to walk where the pioneer ancestors had walked.

    Wow. He learned Irish to a very good level, a lot of people here at home won't even bother doing that! Míle buíochas libhse, scannán iontach is ea é!

    This is so interesting. My father's ancestors come from Poole and Dorset. TY for sharing this beautiful video. and the gentleman I believe his name is Ollie? I felt such a connection to him, although my ancestors are mostly English and Scandinavian <3
