By all means, - preserve this property. Why did the owner acquire the property in the first place ?

Faith and Begorragh! Top o' the mornin' to ye! Shure let the effin thing go to bejaysus. Who needs to be reminded of a Hollywoodesque stereotypical Irishman with anger- management issues, engaging in a three hours of fisticuffs referee'd by a gombeen priest. Jaysus, cringe material I tell ya"!

construct a similar tighin close or in the vicinity and let Maureen sleep in it for a few nights for authenticity sake. Play the Quiet Man and have a bunch of notables attend the edifice - what a flourish to enrich the history of the surrounds.

Beaumax99, It was obviously the wrong cottage because the original one is in ruins.

I was there just 3 short years ago, and the cottage looked good to me.

Get Martin Sheen, Maureen O'Hara and the many other famous Irish actors, writers & politicians behind this effort. What better way to spread the word and garner financial support.

Just say the word & those of us of Irish ancestry will give what we can. The Irish government has the right of seizure and the people will respond (from all parts of the world). This cottage deserves to be saved!

Use eminent domain to take custody and ownership of the cottage and it will not cost Galway County, Ireland, or the Irish a penny...I will send $10 immediately and I can assure you that thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands, will come from Irish-Americans for restoration.
