In this episode we’ll hear from placenames expert, Dr Pádraig Ó Cearbhaill, local man and retired school principal, Michael O’Brien, and the stories from the Schools’ Collection (which were written down by children in the 1930s) will be ready by local children 8-year-old Ruaidhrí and 10-year-old Robbie O’Brien.

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.
