@@fivetwoeight528 Actually, wrong. There are still many seanchaí around, particularly in the west, but even in the east. Co.

He's talking about an affair his wife had. CORRECTION: an affair he had as husband, apparently with a fairie. He makes ref to that at the very end, that his wife would return, but only on the condition that he get rid of the fairy that had been inhabiting his bed. A very strange tale, told with straight-faced conviction....
@@jacqui9176 - I agree and changed my comment. The narrator says the man had a fairie in his bed, which the wife wanted gone as a condition of her return. As she did return, we may assume the man banished the fairie. I'm not familiar with fairies so I can comment on the procedure to do that.
He's talking about a Fae taking over his pals wife , and he couldn't throw the wife in the fire to burn her out (didn't have the heart) and so lived with the fae as his wife for 7 years . Then she came back (the wife) and they lived another 40 years together .
It's a blackthorn stick, not a shillelagh. A shillelagh would be shorter, with a thick round piece of wood attached to the end of it. A far more common implement is the blackthorn stick, used as a walking stick, and for herding cattle.

Right! I'm just seeing this for the first time!😅 Don't know of a Jack Dinan in my family's history but I don't know much about my paternal side in general tbh!
Ok. Jack Deignan had a wife.....7 years pass......Jack has a bed........a dog?........There was a fire......Jack's a firestarter........Jack was in bed with a ginger transexual? Jack made love to a red head transexual for 7 years?? That story had everything, I think
There were a few fairies in Clare when I was growing up..They all disappeared when the electric light was switched on for the first time...It's easy to frighten fairies..ask Michael Healy Rea...Up The Banner..🇮🇪
This is the story of a quiet man who lived with a wild redheaded woman who was not his wife, they were the talk of the village and local town for years, everyone said, How could he do something like that is he a married man.
@Very Smart England had great industry back then. Many people left Ireland and found work in all the British Cities in the 50s 60s 70s. There was no work in Ireland until the 90s.
Ireland had an Agricultural economy traditionally, whereas the British economy was Industrial. Obviously, then, Ireland had comparatively fewer cities, and less industrialisation. Therefore, Ireland tended to be more rural. However, whereas in the 70's and 80's you would see the odd horse and cart, cars were most commonly used.
A bit of backwoods unsophistication growing up in the 80s was seeing the Dukes of Hazzard on TV. Image if you grew up instead listening to old geezers like this? Ye'd be madder than a box of frogs.
Was Eamon Kelly an actual seanachai, or did he just he pretend to be one? I think he was a little less insane, and more entertaining, than this guy, though I haven't heard him for yonks.

I love the Cailleach ❤️
I feel like, if I only understood what he was saying at :21. Then I wouldve gotten the whole story.
I believe he said there was a small little 'cailleach' in the bed. Cailleach (pronounced ka-lok) is Gaeilge for witch.
