Podcast: Milking the Memories

I was talking with someone recently about Glasnevin in Dublin in the 1950s, when milk was delivered then by a farmer from a churn on his cart, residents in the new houses coming out to have jugs filled. Milk supply in Kilcullen wasn't as advanced then. We collected it in lidded tin cans with skinny wire handles. They cut welts into our small children's hands by the time we brought them home from Tom Molloy's milking shed. Produced by Brian Byrne.
