I left Ireland. 1982 to hopefully give my children a better start , For the war of divisions in fhe North of Ireland was ceaseless
So I fled away. Immigration was so hard for decades, an my heart always yearned for home
Yet I became adopted by my new country and today i have lived as long here Canada as my life in Ireland
And my children prospered in the beautiful outdoors life here in this lovely Country of Canada
The pandemic has got in fhe way of my return for a holiday. When younger my Irish husband would
Take me to all the great circuits of Irish Horse racing, one of mh favorite memories was
The Ballinasloe Horse Fair , the annual event attracts up to 80,000 visitors annually
Today I reside. Happily in beautiful Vancouver.

My Scottish Son left Scotland for Ireland. He's bin met with racism. He's probably more Irish than the one's who are giving him grief. Young Scottish folk can't afford to stay in Scotland. English are buying everything. In Scotland. That's a fact. Never ever thought that Scottish people would face racism in Ireland. Never. 2024.
Edna is my favourite. I'm a Scot.
This is a time capsule , Edna is an amazing talent and a natural speaker who gets into one’s mind 😌
I appreciate this so much! Edna O’Brien is one of my favorite writers/people. Just fascinating. She’s right up there with Chekhov in my books. And there’s never enough of Edna O’Brien on the internet. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️🌟😊
So nice to see Edna in her days of youth... The scenes of her walking by the cliffs beside the ocean or the forests were beautiful and a insight to how she gathered inspiration... Loved seeing the Irish people... Thank you
Beautiful rendition I am in tears.
so happy I happened upon this national archive film! I read Edna O'Brien's autobiography and have been very curious about her life since then. Thank you!!
Really enjoyed that. When you see Ireland in the 60's, 70's and even before, you wonder did we change for the better. I'm in two minds about how we turned out!
A wonderful journey with Edna O ‘Brien
Around 1976 I saw Edna O’Brien and Russell Hearty together in a bookshop in Manchester. They must have been working on this project at the time. I also saw her later that day when interviewed on Granada Reports at teatime.
Thanks you tube excellent video which captures emotions,nature,life.... everything.....
Wow, what a woman, what a straight talker. I love that!
And stigmata from a kiss...
That musta been some kiss!
I discovered Edna from reading about Dave Allen performing in her play A Pagan Place, in 1974, I think. Now I must read her books!
How lovely.
Beautiful video
I can see from living in rural Ireland why so many have left.
But why does the dialogue go out of synch with the visual at around 18.00?
Because of the words of the devil, of course
Does anyone know what that tune is at the opening scene?
The tune is Carrickfergus
