Walking the Munster Blackwater - "From ...
Walking the Munster Blackwater - "From Source To Sea - A seven-day journey" Bernadette Phillips from Community Rad

Bernadette Phillips from Community Radio Youghal, CRY 104FM, interviews author and long-distance walker, Jim O'Malley, at the Immrama Lismore Festival of Travel Writing, in Lismore, Co. Waterford, on Saturday, 18th June 2016.

Jim O'Malley, an environmentalist and long-distance walker, is a native of the Youghal area though domiciled in Kerry since 1980. Jim taught English and Irish in Killorglin, 1980-2007. Since his retirement in 2007 he has fulfilled a longstanding ambition in following the Blackwater from source to sea in 2010.

A seven-day journey, hardly an epic walk, but a memorable experience that has been recorded in his recent book – Walking the Munster Blackwater, Ashfield Press, Nov 2015. While emphasising the historic events that occurred along the course of the river, O'Malley presents the reader with a varied snapshot of the Irish countryside.

Encounters with farmers, B&B personnel, publicans, anglers and others are blended with his love of nature and a deeply-felt concern for the future of the Blackwater.

Ann Neville talk about the amazing life and times, and death, of Youghal man Blessed Dominic Collins, who was exec

The month of November is traditionally a time in which the Catholic community remembers those who have died. Ann said she feels the presence of Dominic Collins at this location.

On the 400th anniversary of his martyrdom back in 2002 and since his beatification by Saint John Paul 2 back in 1992 more and more people have recognised the spot as a place to say a prayer or bless themselves as they pass by.

Each year more flowers appear at the spot in the lead up to the 31st October. Ann happily takes care of the flowers by putting them in vases and water.
