In February 2011 MONOCLE wrote this piece about INIS MEÁIN

Agus bhí pictiúr de Mháirtín Ó Domhnaill ag gabhail ar Bhainríon na Farraige acu cho maith.

Tá an Geimhreadh taghta i ndáiríre inniu. Today Winter has really arrived.
As they say here, ”tá sé ina dheatach”, which translates, ”it (the wind) is blowing smoke”.
