” Tír agus spás. Spásanna móra is beaga; spásanna fíordhathúla is nádútha a bhuailfidh leis en lucht taistil agus iad ag feitheamh ar na íomhánna is ar na déantáin, agus na samhlaoidí ag dul i bhfeidhm. Rachaidh sibh ar thuras i measc spásanna na tíre seo agus bainfidh sibh amach tíortha eile is spásanna eile. Bainigí triail is sult astu. Go n-éirí an turas libh. ” – Liam Murray

Directed and Composed by Diarmuid McIntyre of Grey Heron Media featuring a reflection in Irish written and performed by Liam Murray with sounds and music recorded by and copyright to Diarmuid McIntyre and Grey Heron Media.
