Tír Sáile
Is í Tír Sáile (Gaeilge), Conair Dhealbhóireachta Thuaisceart Mhaigh Eo, an tionscadal poiblí ealaíne is mó a cuireadh ar bun riamh in Eirinn. Tháinig an bunsmaoineamh don Chonair Dhealbhóireachta ón laithrean neoiliotach is mó ar domhan a dtángthas air ag an gCéideadh i dTuaisceart Mhaigh Eo. Cuireadh na saothair ina n-áit do fhéile Maigh Eo 5000, ceiliúradh bliana ar áitreabhóirí Mhaigh Eo a dtéann a rian ar dhúiche Mhaigh Eo siar 5000 bliain.
North Mayo has one of the greatest concentrations of Stone Age tombs (megaliths) in Europe. It is now known to possess the intact farms of the tomb builders, preserved beneath the bog which covers the region. Tír Sáile (English) has created a trail of permanent sculpture from the Moy Estuary to the Mullet Peninsula marking in a contemporary way this ancient landscape.
