Listen: Ballyshannon Voices from the Past
An exhibition and heritage walk today in Ballyshannon was an eyeopener to many of the current residents of the village. Through photographs and words it traced back through a century and further the local happenings and places. One gem is a series of interviews with local people, on a short reel to reel tape made 40 years ago by the local branch of Macra na Thuaithe and kept by local woman Joan Dowling, who was one of the young people making the tape. Pictured above are some of the Ballyshannon Heritage Day people, James Delaney, Clare Keon, and Joan Dowling. Produced by Brian Byrne.
