| Description: |
Jim was interviewed in Kilkenny where he was born and raised, and spent his life as a primary school teacher. The family was not poor, but nonetheless his parents needed to be very hard working and thrifty to educate the three children. Jim's early memories are of the Emergency period when there was great deprivation, but a strong sense of nationalism and community spirit prevailed.
