Tugann siad tús áite d’oidhreacht ársa na n-amhrán agus do thraidisiún beo damhsa an cheantair, rud a chothaíonn ceangal láidir na ceoltóirí agus an lucht éisteachta.

Áras an Uachtaráin Áras an Uachtaráin is situated in the 1,752 acres of the Phoenix Park near Dublin, built in 1751 for the Phoenix Park chief ranger. By 1782 it had been acquired for use by the Viceroys who oversaw British rule in Ireland. The house continued as the official residence of the Viceroys until 1922. For much of the period that followed it was the residence of the Governors General, the Crown’s representatives in Ireland. In 1938 it became the Official Residence of the President of Ireland and has been used for that purpose since. Tá Áras an Uachtaráin suite san 1,752 acra de Pháirc an Fhionnuisce gar do Bhaile Átha Cliath. Is é an Maor Páirce a thóg an teach bunaidh in 1751 agus faoin mbliain 1782 bhí seilbh faighte air le húsáid ag Fir Ionaid an Rí a rinne maoirsiú ar riail na Breataine in Éirinn. Bhí an teach fós ina áit chónaithe oifigiúil ag Fir Ionaid an Rí go dtí 1922. Ar feadh chuid mhaith de thréimhse an Rialtais Dúchais a lean, b’ áit chónaithe Sheanascail Shaorstát Éireann, ionadaithe na Corónach le linn na dispeansáide nua, a bhí ann. In 1938 rinneadh Áit Chónaithe Oifigiúil Uachtarán na hÉireann de agus tá sé á úsáid lena aghaidh sin ó shin.
