107 Year Old Irish Farmer Reflects on Change, 1965
Born in 1858, Michael Fitzpatrick talks about the many changes that have taken place in farming during his lifetime and recalls an eviction at Bodyke.
Mr. Fitzpatrick moved from Clare to a farm near Maynooth as part of the Land Commission scheme in 1940 where he has lived ever since.
Now aged 107 Mr. Fitzpatrick has experienced many changes in the world of farming. The biggest change that has taken place is the introduction of machinery and specifically the combine harvester.
Mr. Fitzpatrick also remembers seeing an eviction taking place in Bodyke, County Clare in June 1887. He recalls the event as being “very cruel” with women and children thrown out of their homes.
This episode of ‘Newsbeat’ was broadcast on 7 January 1965. The reporter is Jim Norton.
