Mary McAleese & An Chéad Eorpach

Former Irish president Mary McAleese travels through Ireland, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, to uncover the legacy of Irish missionary Columbanus.

Tugann iar-Uachtarán na hÉireann, Mary McAleese, camchuairt ar Éirinn, ar an Fhrainc, ar an Ostair, ar an Eilvéis, agus ar an Iodáil le teacht ar oidhreacht Cholmáin (Columbanus). Faigheann sí amach go léiríonn scéal Cholmáin gur féidir le hEoraip na linne seo, Eoraip a bhíonn scoilte ina héadan féin go minic, gur féidir léi ceachtanna a bhaint as an oscailteacht don éagsúlacht.

Former Irish president Mary McAleese travels through Ireland, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, to uncover the legacy of Columbanus. She discovers that the story of Columbanus shows how openness to diversity can offer lessons to the often fractured Europe of today.
