    <A href="http://generation13.com/Annals/Erainn.html">Érainn</A> were the second of the Celtic 
    groups to come to Ireland. When the first inhabitants of the Arans, probably 
    coastal fishers from the Connemara region, arrived on Inis Mór, they found 
    it divided into two distinct regions, much as it is today. The highest parts 
    of the island faced the Atlantic, sheltering the fertile lowlands from the 
    violent storms that lash the western coast of Ireland. From their safe harbors 
    facing the Connemara coast, the islanders could send out boats to catch the 
    abundant fish of Galway Bay or the Atlantic, and they could build houses and 
    farms on the sheltered lowlands. Irish (Gaelic) is still the first language 
    for many of the inhabitants.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://generation13.com/Annals/Arae-conmacine.html">The territory of Conmhaicne Mara / Connemara covers all of the barony of Ballynahinch 
    and the civil parish of Inishbofin, which is in the barony of Murrisk.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4814FB89-4604-4549-9D96-96B685418723/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
