Killybegs (Irish: Na Cealla Beaga) is a town in County Donegal, Ireland. It is the largest fishing port in the county and on the island of Ireland. It is located on the south coast of the county, north of Donegal Bay, near Donegal Town. The town is situated at the head of a scenic harbour and at the base of a vast mountainous tract extending northward. In the summer, there is a street festival celebrating the fish catches and incorporating the traditional "Blessing of the Boats". It has a population of 1,297
In 1588, Killybegs was the last port of call for the Spanish vessel La Girona, which had dropped anchor in the harbour when the Spanish Armada fetched up on the Irish coast during Spain's war with England. With the assistance of a Killybegs chieftain, MacSweeney Bannagh, the Girona's personnel were fed, her rudder repaired, and she set sail for Scotland, but was wrecked off the Antrim coast with the loss of nearly 1,300 lives.
Killybegs is a natural deepwater harbour with a depth of 12 meters at low water spring tide at the new €50 million pier completed in 2004. The harbour is home to all the largest Irish midwater pelagic trawlers, and a modest whitefish fleet, but it handles many other types of shipping as well. These include passenger cruise liners and mixed specialist cargoes. In recent years Killybegs has become the favoured port for the importation of wind turbines, and is a service port for the offshore gas/oil drilling rigs.
Killybegs was a constituency represented in the Irish House of Commons until 1800.
In the Patriot Parliament of 1689 summoned by King James II, Killybegs was not represented.
Every move you make is wrong
Another bump on a road that is long
You fight back again
Try harder my friend
And may i ask you why
Do you try
It hurts to watch you
And i know how it feels
It kills to watch you fail
Everything boils down to one wrong move
Never makes sense and then you lose
Again you fall
Lose it all
You try again
and then my friend
You fail again
And you fall on down again
Failure is your best known friend
You try hard but you lose
(I really got to give it to you)
Yet you refuse to give in
(But I Won't)
Give it all up and go on home
Nobody will care you'll be left alone
Just leave here now and go on home
And may i ask you why
Do you try
It hurts to watch you
And i know how it feels
It kills to watch you fail
Everything boils down to one wrong move
Never makes sense and then you lose
Again you fall
Lose it all
You try again
and then my friend
You fail again
So as you fall
does it hurt
So as you fail
does it burn
to learn that no one wants you
So leave here
Go on home and be all alone
And may i ask you why
Do you try
It hurts to watch you
And i know how it feels
It kills to watch you fail
Everything boils down to one wrong move
Never makes sense and then you lose
Again you fall
Lose it all
You try again
and then my friend
You fail again
So as you fall
does it hurt
So as you fail
does it burn
to learn that no one wants you
So leave here
