Con Carey and the Twelve Apostles Nov 07, 2014

Show notes

April 2nd 2023 marks the 45th anniversary of the death of Con Carey, the only man in Kerry to be buried twice. The story itself goes back to April 1978, when Con Carey, a bachelor labourer, was found dead on the outskirts of Brosna village in Co. Kerry. With no family around, Con’s burial was rushed and unusually quick. Having died in the early hours of Sunday morning, April 2nd, he was buried the following day, Monday April 3rd, 1978. The talk was that Con had not even been properly prepared, washed or dressed for burial. 12 of his friends and neighbours were disgusted that Con could be treated in this way - so they set out to right that wrong - and they'd become known as the 12 Apostles in a story that has become a parable for how to treat our dead (First broadcast 2013).

Credits: Narrated by Mairead Heffernan and produced by Mairead Heffernan and Liam O’Brien. Additional Recordings by Diarmuid McIntyre and Mairead O'Connor. Readings by students from the Diploma in Radio Production run at Radio Kerry Training

Saved Oct 31, 2014

Show notes

Bombs, Balls & Beyoncé Oct 24, 2014

Show notes

A football team and its billionaire owner - some bling and lots of politics: Before the world knew of Maidan Square in Kiev, we knew of Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk soccer teams - football has nothing to do with politics? In Ukraine it does - lots.
