The Life Story of Jackie Healy Rae in his own words

2022 National Heritage Award winning podcast based on over 4,000 oral history recordings that have been compiled in Ireland by Maurice O'Keeffe of www.irishlifeandlore.com since 1995.

Now it's time to share some of the best recordings with you, and allow you to listen to first hand accounts of pivotal moments in Ireland's national and social history. The generations which went before us could never have imagined the immense change which has come about in the way we live over the past century in Ireland.
