Show Notes
Episode 6 of The Other Ireland marks the first time I have gone out to record a group sharing their memories. McAuley Place is a residence for older people based in Naas, County Kildare. It is made up of 53 apartments.
This episode is the result of going up there and not knowing what to expect. It was just me and my handy recorder. To be a part of this group discussion was really something special.
