THE LYRIC FEATURE

Me Dog is Buried in Thomond Park 

Brothers Ron and Greg Carey, each of whom published their first collection of poetry in their sixties, go back to Limerick, the city of their childhood, which has inspired much of their work. They revisit places they remember, reflect on how the city has changed over the years, and consider what creativity means to them. The broadcast coincides with the beginning of the 2026 Bealtaine Festival, Ireland’s national festival celebrating the arts and ageing. 

Produced by Claire Cunningham,  
Sound Supervision by Tinpot Productions.  
A Rockfinch Production commissioned for the Lyric Feature made with support of Coimisiún na Meán and the RTÉ Independent Radio Productions unit.
