My Home Town – Doonbeg

Posted on by

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.

This show consists of DJ sessions with tracks selected and mixed by myself. Mainly old school progressive House/Trance but with new current stuff thrown in too. Sometimes some Drum n Bass and Ambient. Anything electronic is fair game on this show.

President Michael D. Higgins today addressed a special virtual May Day celebration
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.”
