Border Lives

RTÉ One, 9.35pm

100 years ago, some people on the island of Ireland went to sleep in one country and woke up the following morning in another. In the century since, inequality, sectarianism and ‘the Troubles’ have overshadowed the stories of people who got up every day, fed their families and attempted to get on with their lives. Presenter Miriam O’Callaghan speaks to some of those people.

She meets sisters Joan and Maureen who recall their memories of the Belfast Blitz during World War 2. And Miriam speaks to Billy Kohner whose parents moved to Northern Ireland as Jewish refugees from the former Czechoslovakia and lived in a barn on a farm for four years before setting up their own business.
