Here are pupils from Scoil Naisiúnta Dar Earca, Chapeltown, Valentia, Co Kerry telling me the stories and histories they learned about the telegraph cable and station on the island of Valentia. They had researched and completed their projects for their teacher and shared the findings with me when I visited the school. Thanks to School Principle, Pól Ó Conchúir, and the pupils, teachers and staff with their assistance in this recording.
