    Here is one event with a local farmer from County Limerick in relation to Bishop Eamonn Casey who fathered a child with Anny Murphy, The conversation is as followes. *"""Hello Jack how are and all the care - Fine thanks, just draggin - (Jack) Jazus wasent it a fright about thould Bishop - Terrible Jack, I knew him as a curate here in the cathedral (St. Johns Limerick) - (Jack) Yarra I dont blame him attal, it was dat auld bitch who plied him with drink and had her way with him"""* In my job I dealt with a a lot of country folk, they were and still are the salt of the earth, who worked very hard for a living. Some of the stories I could tell are hiliarious.

    This was so entertaining, a few giggles, a few gasps, a few frowns and a few tears.. It's interesting to see what life may have been like if my ancestors didn't migrate to New Zealand, the countryside is similar or should I say used to be..

      @EI6DP Місяць тому

      Hello John - The Hillbilly style of dancing is known as Clogging. In the UK and Ireland its also very popular. It was the people who emigrated from the UK and Ireland brought that style of dancing to the US especially the Appellation area.

      Not really - farmers back then had a hard life. Any money earned was the result of a 7 day working week.

      Hello, yes it is fake. However it a portrayal and correct at that how the people back then lived and conversed. I used to deal with farmers back in the late 1960's/70's and they were exactly like the actors in this film.
