RTÉ FACTUAL: Collectors working for the Irish Folklore Commission were required to keep a diary of their work in the field, and the programme looks at the huge importance of those diaries today.

This series celebrates the work of the Irish Folklore Collection over the last 75 years, and today the programme will focus on the field diaries kept by collectors working for the Irish Folklore Commission, and the wealth of information they contain. Ríonach uí Ógáin will talk about the diaries of Séamus Ennis, Pádraig Ó Héalaí will discuss the work and diaries of Joe Daly collected in Munster, and Patricia Lysaght will discuss the work and diaries of Tadhg Ó Murchú who collected in Co. Clare. We will also learn about a university course currently running for those interested in folklore studies.

Déanann an tsraith seo comóradh ar obair Chnuasach Bhéaloideas Éireann le 75 bliain anuas. Ar an gclár inniu beidh daoine ag cur síos ar thábhacht na ndialanna a choinnigh na bailitheoirí an fhad is a bhí siad ag obair sa ghort. Beidh Ríonach uí Ógáin ag labhairt faoi dhialann Shéamuis Ennis, beidh Pádraig Ó Héalaí ag caint ar dhialann Joe Daly a bhíodh ag obair i gCúige Mumhan, agus beidh Patricia Lysaght ag caint ar an dialann a choinnigh Tadhg Ó Murchú a bhíodh ag bailiú i gCo. an Chláir. Beidh cur síos sa chlár chomh maith ar chúrsa ollscoile atá á reáchtáil faoi láthair i léann an traidisiúin.
