If you wondered does Ireland actually celebrate halloween:


Ireland has been celebrating Halloween for more than a thousand years, dating back to the time when it was the pagan festival of Samhain. Back then it was believed that evil spirits visited the mortal world on Halloween.

And as can be seen even Sluagh as we know him takes his name from a mythological creature called the Sluagh

If your in Ireland please go to the beach and look for Brasil

Brasil, also known as Hy-Brasil or several other variants, is a phantom island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland. Irish myths described it as cloaked in mist except for one day every seven years, when it becomes visible but still cannot be reached.

I dont think you should swim to it as you might meet a beautiful selkie woman and life happily ever after there. or a kraken might make a meal of you on the wayyou may be snatched up by pirates or the like and be a pirate for the rest of your life.

Just take a boat trip

I could not get this rendition but will just post the link its the same song on tin whistles:

so what is the origins of the song:

Is Ar Éirinn Ní Neosfainn Cé Hí translates as ‘For Ireland I’d Not Tell Her Name’. A traditional song, believed to have been written in 1810 by a native of Kerry, it was first published by E. Walsh in 1847. Tradition attributes it to a young man’s secret love for his brother's bride: Too poor to support her and too shy to propose, he had gone abroad to seek his fortune. But when he returned to claim his beloved, he found her married to his brother. He wrote this song for her but, for obvious reasons, refused to reveal her name.
