For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Movie office mooted for Mayo

Cllr calls for establishment of a Film Board for Mayo

Councillor Keith Martin welcomed yet another filming programe to Mayo

Councillor Keith Martin welcomed yet another filming programe to Mayo as Saturday July 17 saw Calvin Klein filming their latest advertisment on Silver Strand beach near Louisburgh. Cllr Keith Martin is the liaison between the Irish Film Board and Mayo and has been working towards the establishment of a Film Office for Mayo to promote Mayo as a venue for Film-making.
Keith Martin says he welcomes the filming of this advertisement in Louisburgh "as it is further confirmation of Mayo's viability as a location for filming be it a motion picture, a television documentary or drama or an advert."
Filming on the motion picture "Secret of the Cave" has just finished on Achill Island after 5 weeks of filming and that is testament to the suitability of Mayo as a venue for film-making.
Hollywood actor Patrick Bergin who starred in "Secret of the Cave" also recently backed a Film Office for Mayo. Bergin felt that not only was Mayo an ideal location for shooting it had so many stories to tell that could be made into films.
Keith Martin says that the benefits from filming are firstly direct local investment and secondly a spin off from tourism. The Guinness Ad which was shot in Westport was a great boost to the town and people still come to Westport based on that advert, it even made one or two locals well known faces on the television! Hopefully "Secret of the Cave" will do the same for Achill. Louisburgh will also benefit from accommodation, food and entertainment for the crew, the hiring of local tradesmen, purchase of props locally and of recruiting extras. It all adds up and it all highlights the need for a Film Office for Mayo.

It's great to read good news about Louisburgh. The Silver Strand at Tallabawn I think must be the most beautiful in the whole of Ireland. Some years ago it was targeted by some German enterpreneurs who wanted to build 600 holiday homes there but thankfully it remains unspoiled to this day.
The sand on the beach is soft and lets you sink into it. There is a long, long walk through this soft yielding sand to get to the water.
Michael Viney of the Irish Times fell in love with the place and upped from Dublin and settled there with his family.
The last time I was there the road from Louisburgh was not in very good condition, at least the latter part of the fourteen miles or so. Now, it will probably get better. And in a very short time people will see the beach on film and will be enticed to go there.
I hope the film will be as beautiful as the beach.

Great to hear of Mayo getting positive exposure and hopefully economic benefits that are sustainable and will preserve this magical county.

Surely, the future of Mayo is in working with the landscape and not against it!
