In a nostalgic trip down more than 60 years of memory lane, Old Ireland DVD (Parts 1 and 2) illuminates the customs and practices in traditional farming life of the 1940s and 1950s.

It documents in evocative detail the transition from loyal horse to modern tractor, a development that would change the landscape of farming forever. Harking back to the day when the meitheal was the greatest of all blessings, it recalls an era when neighbours gathered together to cut the turf and save the hay. This was a time when the completion of the biggest farming tasks called for the liveliest celebrations of the year.
