Notes
This Monday is May Day & it marks the first day of summer, signalling the start of turf cutting, a busy period for farmers. May Day traditions are mostly associated with luck & protection. Brenda Donohue met Michael Fortune, a folklorist filmaker from Co Wexford to talk about May & met neighbours in Ballindaggin, who keep Mayday traditions alive.
