Was just reading about Rural Electrification on the ESB archives website and saw this photo, she would have been born in 1853 on Achill island just a couple years after the end of the Great Famine. Achill was at that time a fully Irish speaking island which was heavily affected.
We look forward to showcasing Mayo-made films from over the past 100 years as part of the Local Films for Local People programme offered by the wonderful @IFI_Dub! “Audiences come together to experience their county heritage on film, pooling local knowledge and sharing memories”.
