Episode 23 : The Place Names of Ireland (Part 1)

This month, Eddie discusses the place names of Ireland. He traces how the Irish version of the name often contains important geographical references to the land itself.

Using over 50 examples of Irish towns and villages, Eddie paints a picture of the physical landscape of Ireland encoded through words and names. Part 1 of a two part special.
