dc.descriptionOral history interview. Kate Little, (born 1923), recalls her father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who together built Rathfarnham Church. The eldest of six children, she was born in Holypark and grew up in Grange. Looking through old photographs she recalls her early adult life and discloses that she managed a local group of musicians who performed concerts and musicals. During her childhood Margaret Pearse, sister of Padraig Pearse was “like a second mother” to her. She would buy her boots every Christmas. Kate worked in the Pye Radio Factory in Dundrum for 22 years. She discusses factory life including the management, staff and working conditions. Kate describes the progression from radiograms to television sets. Later, she worked for the Health Board, caring for people with special needs, having previously spent some time working as a cook for the Augustinians. She tells an extraordinary story of an event in Ireland’s bleak history. Her grandmother, who lived with the family when Kate was a child, was a young girl during the Famine in 1848. As she walked along a road one day, she plucked a living child from the arms of his dead mother and brought him home, where he was reared with the family, who named him Bill. The length of this interview is seventeen minutes and thirty five seconds.en_IE
