Killeagh history immortalised on DVD

An east Cork parish has compiled its entire history on three DVDs.

The collection, Killeagh Folklore Through the Ages, documents life in the townlands of Killeagh and Inch (population circa 2,000) but also provides a microcosm of Ireland’s changing landscape across its people, folklore, sport, music, drama, schools, shop fronts and more.

Supported by South and East Cork Area Development, the work was commissioned by the Killeagh Historical group and extends to eight hours of filming, photography, anecdotes, interviews and voice-overs, with references ranging from pre-Christian to modern times.
