In this episode children from Creggs National School interview Harry Delaney as he reminisces about the spirit of sharing that was part of rural Galway during the 1930s, socialising at the local dance halls, market days, the absence of crime and of cars, and about the tradition of ‘wakes’ where the dead person would lie in their beds for 2 days whilst neighbours paid their last respects.
