Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich

The focus for community activity in the Falls today is the Irish language and cultural centre Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich. Housed in a red-brick, former Presbyterian church, it's a cosy and welcoming place with a tourist information desk, a shop selling a wide selection of books on Ireland, Irish-language material, crafts, and Irish music tapes and CDs, and an excellent café-restaurant.

The centre also has an art gallery and a theatre that stages music, drama and poetry events. The local people are friendly and welcoming, and community ventures such as Conway Mill, the Cultúrlann centre and black-taxi tours have seen tourist numbers increase dramatically in recent years.
