2024 will be a stellar year for Northern Lights activity and the island of Ireland has many amazing places to view them. With the sun heading for solar maximum, 2024 is shaping up to be a great year for seeing the Northern Lights. The island of Ireland has three dark sky parks, Om Dark Sky Park and Observatory in County Tyrone, Mayo Dark Sky Park, and Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve. These offer the darkest of skies and therefore the chance to see the lights. Even if you don’t get to see the aurora you will be star struck by the clarity of the night sky and the constellations and planets you will be able to see, even with the naked eye. The Northern Lights can be viewed in Ireland until March, which is actually one of the best months to see them due to the earth’s axial tilt and the way the atmosphere encounters solar wind. #grouptravel #discoverireland #cgtblog #northernlights #auroraborealis #travel #beautyofireland

Leap Year: The Irish history and traditions
February 29 only comes around every four years - do you know the Irish history and traditions of Leap Day? Ireland's...
What will you do with the extra day available in 2024? In the Ireland of bygone days, 29 February had a special significance for unmarried women as it was their opportunity to propose to a man rather than have to wait for the man’s proposal. It’s said that the tradition began in the fifth century when  St Brigid complained to St Patrick that women had to wait far too long for men to propose. St Patrick then decreed that women could propose once every four years on 29 February. The ‘decree’ became part of Irish folklore and even into the early twentieth century it was taken seriously by some people who were anxious to be betrothed by the time Lent came round. In the southwest of Ireland, in particular, those who remained single in February could find their names on the Skellig Lists. These printed ballads were named after Skellig Michael, a tiny island off the coast of County Kerry, which was regarded by some as a last chance saloon for the unattached. Ironically, a leap year was also seen as an unlucky year to get married, so even those who managed to snag a fiancé had to wait for the walk up the aisle.
