Wednesday 11th May

This morning the John Murray Show will transport you to 'Kavanagh Country' for our latest walk in the company of Horslip's Barry Devlin, Sir Jack Leslie, Sammy Leslie & the irepressible brothers Tommy & John McArdle. With plenty of music & singing from Knockatallon on the various stops along the way!

With adoption stories from the past & present, joining John in studio is Mags McLoughlin, whose story 'Bringing Home JJ' appeared in Gloss Magazine, with the Irish Times last Thursday with Dr. Valerie O'Brien from the School of Applied Science at UCD, a lecturer, researcher & practitioner with special interest in adoption.

One of Dr. O'Brien's current projects is trying to piece together the stories of the thousands of Irish children who were sent to the USA for adoption betweeen the 1940's & 1970's. To contact Dr. Valerie O'Brien email valerie.obrien@UCD.ie
