Recognise anyone? Lost picture of Peig Sayers with Cork students rediscovered

Skibbereen journalist Flor MacCarthy found the picture recently in a family photo album, and shared it online following the TG4 documentary 'Peig'.

Carthach MacCarthy, third from left, with friends from Farranferris, gathered around Peig Sayers while on a trip to Dún Chaoin in the 1930s.

Last Wednesday's documentary about storyteller Peig Sayers went a good way toward showing people the person behind the reputation, refuting long-held ideas about her place in Irish culture as an irredeemable miserablist, and examined our national relationship with the Blasket Islands icon.

So, after recently finding a picture of her uncle Carthach and what seems to be a group of friends or colleagues huddled around the literary legend on a visit to Dún Chaoin, journalist Flor MacCarthy shared it on Twitter.
