who were involved in the 1916 Easter Rising.
These presentations are now available to view on our Youtube channel.

Our work has been been awarded/nominated for the following awards:
We have documented the life stories, memories and folklore of hundreds of Clare's oldest citizens with people aged 65 – 106 (fourteen over the age of 100). In total, over 150 of those recorded have since passed away.
The latter reminds us of the reality that once lost the memories of our elders can never be retrieved. We have been fortunate to obtain support from the Clare Local Development Company towards capital, research and animation. Gealaimid go ndéaneoimíd ár ndhicheall ar son muintir an Chláir chun oidhreacht chultúra an chontae a chaomhnú agus a chur chun cinn.
