Description

With the flick of a switch on the 22nd of July 1929, Ireland was changed forever.

When President W.T. Cosgrave turned on power at Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Station, it kickstarted an exciting era for the new state.

Inside the heart of Ireland’s industrial revolution lies a story of extraordinary human achievement.

A new book, entitled "Powerful People", unveils the remarkable lives of those who built, operated, and sustained the Ardnacrusha power station.

For more on this, author Dan Danaher joined Alan Morrisey in-studio.
