On the Hill of Tlachtga, Dairmuid Lyng hosts an interactive conversation and experience Ár scéal/our story: A facilitated experience exploring the role of the masculine in an evolving world. (For men and women, Open to all. Fáilte roimh chách)

Diarmuid Lyng became known for his love of language and country  following the RTE broadcast of Gizzy: The Geansaí.  In it, he talked of how aversion tranformed to grá after a three day immersion in the West Kerry Gaeltacht in his twenties. Diarmuid since moved to that Gaeltacht and now teaches aireachas ‘mindfulness’ to visiting students. He worked as a facilitator with the SAOR foundation helping young people discover their worth and potential.  He is a former captain of the Wexford hurling team and works as a sports analyst for TG4, Newstalk and other media.  He gives hurling Master Classes ó am go chéile, preferring the beach to the pitch. He is an outspoken critic of the co-opting of culture by technology and founder of the initiative Facebook Free February. He is also one of the founders of GAA activist group Gaelic Voices for Change, fundraising  and lobbying for the homeless.
