Machaire Rabhartaigh (formerly anglicized as Magheroarty), meaning "plane of the spring tide/plane of roarty",[1] is a Gaeltacht village and townland on the north-west coast of County Donegal, Ireland. It is in the parish of Cloughaneely and its main access road is the R257.
It has been home to a Gael Linn Irish Language Summer School since 1981 which runs three[2] courses for teenagers aged 12–18 every summer and has an intake of about 200[3] students per course.


The village has a port suited for fishing vessels. It is the main ferry port for Tory Island.


It attracts many tourists during the summer and watersports enthusiasts visit the area to windsurf/surf/kitesurf and to go kayaking in the bay. A natural reef exists to the left of the pier which provides excellent surf throughout the year. Anemities include Coll's Bar & Pub grub,[4] an Café, Salt & Sand (Watersport recreation)[5] and Scoil Naomh Dubhthach Machaire Rabhartaigh, an Irish-speaking primary school.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
