Description

In January 2005, at his home at The Doon, the late Roy Mooney sat down to be recorded for Irish Life and Lore.    The Mooney family have lived there for ovar 1,000 years.

A wonderful recording on family history, memories of the Black and Tans and the Civil War,  details about Esker Castle, the stronghold of the Mooneys,  the relics of St. Manchán and a hurley dating back to the early part of the 19th century.
