So this is an old Bord na Móna bog where they cut turf.
Ruth MedjberHOST
Oh.
Bébhinn O hEochaidhGUEST
They wet it again, I'm not gonna say how long, 'cause I'm not sure, but very recently they wet it again, and put in all the paths, the sculptures, the bike hire, all these things, and just made it a public amenity.
Jim FinnHOST
That, listeners, was David Lydon from IFAC.
Jim FinnHOST
Listeners, I attended the launch of the Bord na Móna Littleton story, and I caught up with two great historians.
Jim FinnHOST
One, Pat Bracken from Liscaveen, and we all know where Liscaveen is.
Jim FinnHOST
And we also have Liam O'Donoghue, and, uh, again, the former principal of McCarthy School.
Jim FinnHOST

How important from a historical point of view is this particular production that was launched tonight?
Pat BrackenGUEST
From a historical perspective, I think it's crucial to how communities recognize the impact of industry or business or any aspect of life within their community, and in this case, Bord na Móna, what it has meant to the people, the economic development of the parish, of McCarthy borders, and the surrounding parishes, like Maynooth, Athy, Cloughartnet,agh, Glenageeagh, Killinarde, MoYglass, uh, for example, uh, and what it, the economy benefits that it brings to a community.
Pat BrackenGUEST
Because you, you have other knock-on effects of business, schools, churches, sporting associations, and it just binds a community together.
