Voices of Boyle
Finally, after years of talking about bringing a podcast to Boyle, we’re live! This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people.So what motivated us to take this big leap into the unknown (it’s our first time recording audio and doing interviews!)? We were lucky enough to spend 7+ years travelling and, like the majority of people that live abroad, we came back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history.We love the idea of creating a space on the internet where people from all over the world can tune in to listen to stories about Boyle. Each show will feature a different guest and we hope to cover lots of topics ranging from the old fair days to current events that are happening in the town.

Jane Suffin & Lucy Egan - Friends of Assylinn
Ep 68---
In this episode, I sit down with Lucy Egan and Jane Suffin, two members of the newly formed committee - The Friends of Assylinn.
Their mission is simple yet so important: to restore Assylinn Cemetery into the peaceful, clean, and well-maintained resting place that the deceased—and their families—deserve. Jane and Lucy talk on behalf of the committee members and share the inspiration behind forming the group, the challenges they’ve faced getting it off the ground, and their vision for what Assylinn can become with the community's help.
You can support their efforts by donating to their GoFundMe:
They’ll also be holding a church gate collection at St. Joseph’s Church next weekend, and have community clean-ups planned in the coming months. Every donation, share, or helping hand makes a difference.
