Michael Hurley recalls his father, who was a native of Arklow, Co. Wicklow and who worked in Weights and Measures for North Co. Dublin. He and his wife, whose maiden name was Prendergast from Mayo, settled in Baldoyle in 1939. Michael’s knowledge of his local area is all embracing and it is a joy to listen as he describes in great detail the golf course, the racecourse, the fishermen and their boats, the sailmakers, netmakers and carpenters, the local characters and old family names of the area. He also listed some of the slang words native to Baldoyle.
