Hi Michael. Thanks for making this interesting video, the footage of Connie and Mary B is brilliant. They were lovely people, I have very fond memories of staying in Stack's hotel as a child. Tom

A lovely piece of Kerry history by local men in pioneering the art of Movie making and setting up local electrical generators to power the people Long before the ESB came
