Radio Corca Baiscinn brings you a precious piece of archival documentary with a nostalgic visit to Doonbeg during the late 1960s as Aine McEvoy returns to the place of her childhood. Aine, formerly Aine Chambers, grew up in the area with the much respected Chambers family and returns to chat with residents about local history, legends, football and all things Doonbeg. Many thanks to Murt McInerney for providing the old cassette for RCBs James Flanagan, and to Aine’s niece Mary Egan, who enlightened us with a background to Aine’s connection with Doonbeg. Many thanks also to all the guests, most of whom are now deceased. Rest In Peace. Your words on cassette are a precious gift for us here now and for future generations.

In his address to ‘MayFest 2020’, President Higgins paid tribute to frontline workers and remembered “those who have suffered, and those who have paid the ultimate price, and those who grieve with difficult if necessary constraints.”
Recalling trade union activities that have led to significant improvements in workers’ rights, the President highlighted the importance of achieving a just transition to “the crisis, its aftermath and how we design our recovery,” arguing for a renewed appreciation of the role of frontline workers and of public spending “as an investment in our communities, our society and our economy.”

Radio Beams
Radio Beams this week is about Sports with Rory Hickey, GAA, Ennis Track Club and Denis Hynes, FAI. Rory is a former GAA ref at national level and life time member of Eire Og Club in Ennis. He talks about the effect of Covid 19 on players and clubs. Plus all the competitions that would be played this year.
Ennis Track Club talks again about all the local, national and international competitions not happening. Athletes can train on their own and do a lot of strengthening at home. Non the less they miss the friendship and getting out meeting others.
Clare FAI
Denis Hynes says this affects thousands of members in Clare. From under age there are about 4,000 children and then there adults, around 2,000. It’s a lot of people and many many find it hard to get back to fitness. Plus the club who at the best of times run on shoe strings. Then all those local and national competitions.
Tune in Tuesday at 3:30pm
“We must welcome the praise, private and public, for those selfless and much appreciated workers. Yet praise alone, will not adequately protect the lives of vulnerable workers.”
