Listen back to episode 6 of our placenames series, ‘Where do you think you are?’ as we take a trip to Carrigahorig.

In this episode we’ll hear from placenames expert, Dr Pádraig Ó Cearbhaill, locals James Heenan, Nigel Foxton and Helen Fox, and the stories from the Schools’ Collection (which were written down by children in the 1930s) will be ready by 8-year-old Joe Flynn.

The series is being broadcast every Monday as part of Tipp Today, with the support of Tipperary County Council’s Heritage Office and the Heritage Council.
