Ned O’Keeffe

Ned O’Keeffe lives in a labourer’s cottage and his early memories of his father who worked for the farmers in the district were recalled at great length. Ned himself worked at the paper mills in Grannagh and he recalls how diligent the workforce was. He speaks passionately about his allegiance to Kilkenny, even though he and his neighbours live so far south in the county that they feel neglected by the authorities. This recording provided an enlightening view of life as it was lived in South Kilkenny.
