i have to say when i was up in galway about 3 years ago to look at the quite man cottage i took home a few stones from the cottage.it's a pity to have a famous land mark to go into ruins.

How sad! ! ! ! !

Here is an interesting message from
Gary McEwan of 'Save The Quiet Man Cottage'

Is there any progress with the cottage?
I know the site and understand that if the cottage ever was rebuilt
it would be need to be further back from the stream
as the flood plain has changed and consequently
it would not be able to be rebuilt in its original position.
Hopefully the current owner will relent one day
and give up the site or may be we should just remember it as
White O'Morn in all its technicolor glory from 60 years ago -
a place, like Inisfree, that never existed but that will live forever.

The cottage is so deteriorated .... I think we should stay on the wonderful memories of the film.
Recreate entirely is perhaps not the way I would have chosen ...
I've always been disappointed by revisiting the places where I played when I was little!

Keith, I think I read that this video is 10 years old and that White O'Morn is even in worse shape now. Brings a tear to your eyes, that's for sure.

Thanks for the great information. Always loved the movie and it is nice to see it is not forgotten

The members of the group are now very aware of us here,
and the joint co-operation can only bring good

As long as we have the movie the place still exsists
