80 years later, Helen Ní Shé looks at the history of the 20 families who moved from the Kerry Gaeltacht to Gibstown, Co. Meath as part of a government resettlement scheme.

Tá ceithre fichid bliain caite ó bhog fiche teaghlach ó cheantair Ghaeltachta i gCiarraí go Baile Ghib i gContae na Mí.  Cá bhfuil a rian inniu sna ceantracha a d’fhágadar, agus i dtailte méithe na Mí mar a lonnaíodar?  Helen Ní Shé a chuirfidh an clár seo i láthair.

Eighty years ago this year, twenty families from the Kerry Gaeltacht moved to Gibstown in Co. Meath to live on land acquired by the Land Commission as part of a government resettlement scheme.  What traces remain of them now in the areas they left, and in the areas in Co. Meath where they settled?  Helen Ní Shé presents.
