An Saol ó Dheas today will be broadcast live from Ionad an Bhlascaoid – the Blascaod Centre – in Dún Chaoin where a photo exhibition of photos by Charles R. Browne, the Irish Headhunter, is coming to an end. Browne was a GP and anthropologist from Dublin who photographed communities in the westernmost parts of Ireland between 1890 and 1900. The photos depict life in these rural communities at that time, and are some of the oldest photos in existence of those communities. Presented by Helen Ní Shé.

Beidh An Saol ó Dheas inniu á chraoladh beo as Ionad an Bhlascaoid i nDún Chaoin, áit a bhfuil taispeántas de ghrianghraif le Charles R. Browne, ‘Fiagaí na gCeann Gaelach / The Irish Headhunter’, ag teacht chun deiridh. Dochtúir teaghlaigh agus antraipeolaí as Baile Átha Cliath ab ea Charles R. Browne, agus faighimid eolas sna grianghraif a thóg sé ar shaol na tuaithe i gcuid de na ceantair is iargúlta sa tír idir 1890 agus 1900. Tá siad ar chuid de na chéad ghrianghraif a tógadh ariamh de na pobail sna ceantair sin. Á chur i láthair ag Helen Ní Shé.
