Stories about Italian paintings that hung in a castle in the Ballyhoura region and where they are now; a video project created by Murroe-Boher Scouts tells of secret meetings under an oak tree in Capercullen; a story about two major historical events which occurred at a now obscure 15th century castle on the outskirts of Rathkeale; Brendan O’Riordan, brother of the late Dolores O Riordan, will chat to some friends about their memories and stories centred around the the Morning Star River, Bruff and what does Our Lady, a messenger boy and a tub of Isopon and the Bedford Motors have in common?
