Episode 3: I joined Úna Walsh in the Cardinal Ó Fiaich Heritage Centre in Cullyhanna.
An historian, storyteller, community activist, mother, a champion of South Armagh, among many, many other things, Una needs no introduction when it comes to this area and its heritage.
Una is well known for preserving the stories of South Armagh, but this conversation offers a look into her own life.
Murphy before she got married, Úna shares seven children with her husband Michael Walsh. With their wedding day on Úna’s 21st birthday, and living in Mullaghbawn ever since, they recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
In this episode, we talk about how she was the first woman in a line of family historians to take on the role, how she balanced community activism and motherhood, and how she made it all happen even without a driver’s licence.
‘
We also discuss her lifelong belief that the story of South Armagh should be told by those who lived it, her love of literature, the importance of standing your ground, and giving recognition to the women who came before us.
This is Una Walsh, at Twenty-Five.
