Leitrim Memory Meitheals - Vincie and J.J. Mulligan Part One
Devilment & Daylight: Tales from Bunnybeg (Part 1)
In this wonderfully entertaining first instalment, brothers Vincie and J.J. Mulligan from Bunnybeg, Eslin, share a treasure trove of stories drawn from their childhood in rural Leitrim. Full of devilment, quick wit and colourful detail, their memories introduce us to the local characters who shaped the area and the tall tales that travelled from house to house.
Folklore sits side by side with fact as the brothers recall banshee sightings, curious happenings and the deep sense of heritage that runs through Bunnybeg and the surrounding areas. The result is a lively portrait of community life, alive with humour, warmth and the unmistakable Mulligan spark.
