14 Jan 25 - 04:01 AM (#4215286) Subject: RE: By the strands of Magilligan From: Joe Offer Story Notes Magilligan peninsula is an area in the Roe valley, the most northerly parish in Co. Derry located at the mouth of Lough Foyle. It is a huge 32 km2 coastal site, part British army firing range, part nature reserve. A Martello Tower was built there in 1812. This documentary looks at the people who live there. Unusually, this is an area of northern Ireland where Irish has survived and the population is made up in the majority of pre-planation stock. The history of the Magilligan area is varied - and influenced by diverse aspects of history such as Scots dialet and cricket. It was once a good rabbit area but farm patterns have changed. Produced by Proinsias O' Conluain First broadcast 5th November, 1975 An Irish radio documentary from RTÉ Radio 1, Ireland - Documentary on One - the home of Irish radio documentaries |
