Sa tsraith cartlainne seo, cuireann Eibhlín de Bhailís míreanna inár láthair ó chartlann na seirbhíse i gCasla i gConamara. Inniu, éistfidh muid le beirt a chaith sealanna i mbun oibre ‘ar an mbeet’ i Sasana, obair sheasúrach a bhíodh i gceist anseo i monarchana próiseála siúcra – Tom a’tSeoige as Leitir Móir ó dhúchas, agus Eddie Feeney as an bPáirc sa Spidéal ó dhúchas.
In this archive series, Eibhlín de Bhailís brings us a rich store of material from the RTÉRnaG archive in Casla, Co. Galway. Today, we’ll hear interviews with two Connemara men who spent time working in England ‘ar an mbeet’ – in the sugar beet factories. The interviewees are Tom a’tSeoige, from Leitir Móir originally, and Eddie Feeney, originally from Spiddal.
