Community Radio West, based in Castlebar, and on which I worked with Tom Manning, was one of my last projects for RTE.
Because there are so many pix, I intend to post them all on a dedicated website and to start adding them in February 2007. I will also post some of the more resonant pix on this site.

In the final stages of a thesis on the RTE Sound archive,I have just come across this site...some lovely photos...which evoke some wonderful memories. My love affair with Sound Archives such that it is - as any I have met will tell you has seen me 'get' if that is the word every person one would have on a wish list for same...shame there are no 'sound archive' photos on this, perhaps you have a few?and/or the memories to go with them? Believe me the kindness I have been shown has at times left me overwhelmed, and my life all the richer for all those I have met.
I'm grateful for your very kind words. I really wish I could help you with photographs and rue the fact that I did not take many more at the time. Pretty well everything I have is online now. If I come across other photos, I will of course publish them here. Brendan
I think I can dig up the pic (RTE Guide) of Diarmaid O Muirithe aka Dad. He doesn't have a head for heights, so I don't know how they got him up the ladder
I found my way here while looking for info on the old Radio Eireann days, except that I was harking back to the 1950s when my mother, May White was a p.a. in Henry Street until she had to take mandatory retirement when she married, as they would say, 'da accter ... tee pee mckenna'.
Priceless pictures all and fascinating reminiscence.
