Aodh谩n 脫 Baoill and Niamh N铆 Dhubhg谩in hit the Smithfield & Union and Library Quarters. Stiof谩n 脫 D铆re谩in introduces them to Francis Joseph Biggar, a key player in Belfast鈥檚 Irish language revival and a founder of 鈥楩eis na nGlinnt铆鈥�. Robert McMillen talks through the history of the city鈥檚 newspapers and how they came mainly to be based in the Library Quarter. Professor Fionnt谩n de Br煤n shares his research on the Fadgies, a group of Irish speakers from Omeath who settled in Belfast in the late 19th Century. Jack Mac 脥omh谩ir gives us a flavour of the music scene in the Smithfield & Union Quarter and Conor Torbitt explains that the city鈥檚 unofficial LGBTQ Quarter is to be found there too.
