Trace of emigration - an afternoon workshop

The emigration group has been working hard on getting a grip of
the big question about emigration on Achill. The focus of our study
is the return of emigrants to Achill. Our methods to achieve our goal
has been to do research and interviewing the local people. This has
been really successful since the locals have been very helpful giving
us good, first-hand information. One man called Marc drove us around
the island and with each different view coming up, there was another
story to tell. In that way, we learned a lot about Ireland and the Irish
people.
