Scannáin Andy: New documentary explores rich archive of images and film footage 

A carpenter by trade, Andrew Kelly's collection provides an insight into various aspects of life in Ireland through the decades 

 Andrew Kelly’s archive features in a documentary on TG4. 

Andrew Kelly, from Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford, was born in 1944, and there is one memory from his childhood that stands out for him today.

“I went to primary school in a place outside Dungarvan called Coolnasmear. There was a travelling guy that came around with a film projector, and we were all brought into the master’s room and this guy set up the projector and put on a film. I would have been about six years old — I cannot remember what the film was because I spent most of the time sitting facing back, looking at the projector. I was amazed by it.”
