Eily’s Report – 20th July

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a chairde, and welcome to my weekly report.

Here comes the sun, we can hardly believe that we have our very own heatwave. They say be careful of what you long for, in case you should get it, and I suppose that about conjures up how we are feeling right now. Goodness knows we love the sun and the fine weather but as we were always told that too much of anything is good for nothing  we would like our fine spell to be a little less h o t .  However it’s here and we have only to find ways to cope and work our way around it. A heatwave affects different age groups in different ways, the oldest and the youngest surely being the most vulnerable, I imagine, but of course there are exceptions to every rule. But it’s not just the humans who are affected, all manner of life feels the heat  and have to be protected .and with all the regulations about hedge cutting  and fencing kept a distance from fences in the interest of wild life it can’t be easy for stock to fine shade from the midday sun. Water, God Bless it, is a great cooler and there is nothing better to placate a few young children on a hot day than to give them access to it. Dressed in their oldest garb, n o need for a dangerous tubs or pools, just pans and perhaps a dripping tap where they can douce one another to screams of laughter and fun. It is something which is sure to turn over-heated tears into high jinks making everybody happy, including parents.

“Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm this Sunday on C103

We thank Presenter, John Greene for advance information on this Sunday evening’s programme – 18th July 2021 at 7pm on C103.  (S.R.)

Where The Road Takes Me – Sunday 18th July

In ninteenth century Ireland, the laws of the land weighed heavily in favour of the rich and well-off.   For family members of murder victims, they had a lot to endure besides coming to terms with the death of a relative.

Inquests were held almost immediately in the victim’s house and those on the inquest jury panel were required to attend and view the remains.

Jury members were chosen from the well-heeled in society and in some case specifically for their tendency to favour a guilty verdict.

For the perpetrator of the crimes, he or she, if found guilty would normally be sentenced to hang.  There was little if any time for an appeal as the sentence was usually carried out within three days.   

This week on ‘Where the road takes me’ and in the first of a two part programme,  John Greene looks at how the judicial system has changed since then and we also delve into some of the historic murder cases from the 19th and early 20th centuries in County Cork.  [read more …] ““Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm this Sunday on C103″
