  • Mayo: tucked away in a corner of civilization

    March 26, 2008 @ 2:19 pm | by Shane

    In 2003, a Danish film-maker identified a Co Mayo village as one of the three places in Europe farthest from an airport, and made a film about it and the two others towns (in Serbia and Sweden).

    All sounds good, until you realise that he doesn’t seem to have counted Knock International Airport as an airport. Whoops. Didn’t he realise that the Virgin Mary wouldn’t put in a promotional appearance for nothing?

    Anyway, the resulting film - a gentle affair - has popped up on YouTube. Warning: this film features occasional clichés.
