In 2002, with the permission of school authorities, I visited primary schools in South West Ireland and handed my microphone to the children so that they could ask questions of a very knowledgeable person in their community. The questions asked ranged far and wide, and some wonderful recordings were compiled as a result.The schools visited were: Knockerra National School in West Clare with Anne Shannon Dromnacurra National School in North Kerry with John Lyons Knocknasna National School in West Limerick with Dan KeaneSt. Oliver’s National School, Killarney with Claire O’SullivanSt. John’s National School, Balloonagh, Tralee with John Blennerhassett. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
