Ep 46---

In a recent episode of Voices of Boyle, I had the pleasure of chatting with Mary Lavin, a tour guide and receptionist at King House. We explored the fascinating history and charm of this remarkable landmark.

Mary talked about the history of King House, from its beginnings in the 1730s as the King family’s grand home, to its time as a military barracks, and now as a cultural heritage center. She also discussed the huge restoration efforts, including removing 26 loads of debris, and shared interesting tales of bravery and historic events.

We then touched on the treasures within King House, including the Mary McAlese collection, Maureen O’Sullivan artifacts, and the Boyle Civic Arts Collection.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the rich history and culture of Boyle.

Ep 44---

This week I'm joined by Tom Mullaney. Tom takes us on a journey through his life, spanning from his school days where he recalls the rare but stern discipline of the past, to his 38-year career in the National Bank.

Tom also chats about the agricultural landscape of Ireland, highlighting his own experiences with farming, the EU's impact, and the potential shifts in trade.

He speaks about his involvement with the county board for GAA and his deep-rooted passion for preserving and enhancing Boyle's heritage. We explore the town's potential for redevelopment, reflecting on its historical prominence and how it can be revitalized for a brighter future.

Plus, we get to hear Tom's advice to his younger self and his journey in Irish politics.

I hope you have a great Sunday and enjoy this episode.
