101 Year Old Kathy Staunton, Carrig-on-Bannow, Co.Wexford

Here is a 60 minute chat that I recorded in late June in the home of Kathy Staunton. I only got around toe ditting it now and worth a listen as we get a glimpse into Kathy's life and an Ireland that has now gone. She also shared a few little verses and cures with me too. Enjoy Kathy's stories and thanks to Mary for organising the chat.
