Episode 2

In this episode, Cian, Callum, Charlie, Michael, Jack, Kyle, Isaac, Conor and Jake look at the biggest thing to shape our area - the building of the monasteries in Glasnevin and Finglas. We hear what life was like then and the amazing story of The Nethercross, still standing like a beacon in St. Canice's Graveyard in Finglas. 
Our feature interviewee this week is the wonderful Catherine Delaney, who tells of her life growing up in Watling St., near St. James's Gate, in a tenement house, her subsequent move to Ballyfermot and her 54 years as a resident of Ballymun. It's a really engaging interview conducted by her grandson, Isaac.
In this episode, the boys used various resources on Finglas and the area all available online and in the library. One excellent resource used here is a book on the History of Glasnevin, by Tony O'Doherty, which is an excellent production seeking to shine a light on the area.
