Preparing for St. Patrick's Day

This mini-movie was filmed in 1958 by British Pathe News and features an all star local cast. It was filmed in one of the old kippering houses on the road down to the harbour. The shamrock was dried in a shed beside the kippering house. The start of the clip shows Paddy O'Connor and Jim Morrissey RIP (who was married to Paddy O'Connor's mother's sister, Nellie) feeding it into the driers. Jim Morrissey is also the last person in the line carrying out the boxes. Other people featured are Dinah O'Regan RIP, Margaret Walsh, Mary Mahony and Katie Martin

The clip is in WMV (Windows Media) format and is 950Kb
