Inchigeela Dairy

Inchigeela Dairy

Buying milk for the first time and hearing Irish spoken in everyday life.

It's always exciting I think for anyone moving away from home for the first time and realize you actually have to buy your own milk. It's one of the things, because we, I grew up on a farm and it was the first time I ever had to buy milk in my life. And around that little area there was a lot of Irish speaking people. That was em, An Stad cafe and they would, I would hear them speak in Irish. And Inchigeela Dairy is where I'd go and get bread and milk, and I'd hear the customers and em, Mrs. Creedon, who was in the shop with her two Siamese cats, and that's the first time I'd heard people converse in Irish, em, in their day-to-day living.
