FULL Documentary of "Glass Mountain" I do not hold copyright for this and have shared it as very hard to get a copy of.

Climbed that mountain a few times as a boy. Camped in the Monastery grounds when I was in the scouts. Great video brings back some memories

As a child I recall a business man from my East Coast town of Arklow, had a sand (for glass) business going in Donegal. That was Laurence O’Toole as mentioned in this video.

So similar to a quarry I've lived beside for many years in Gwynedd N Wales; the old machinery still in place but the voices of the men who worked there have gone

So was my grandfather. He died when I was a baby, but I imagine he would say the same “ting”! In reality, I speculate he was on the “wrong” side of the Irish Civil War and he had to get out of there in the aftermath.

My grandad left Lettermacward, Donegal, on the way to America. He stayed with relatives in Glasgow, before getting a boat from Greenock. He met a girl from Mayo, stayed and married. And I'm here writing, as a result of that romantic encounter. He passed in 1977, and was a young man in the Civil War.

You have my sympathy Eamonn. Income earned from my novels (published by Holder & Stoughton) is much diminished by thieves who enable readers to download them 'free'.

@@weejockmckay1557 You ask what harm the man is doing. Allow me to explain. Whenever a programme is aired by a broadcaster, the people involved in making the programme are paid a royalty. Ditto when readers buy a book. People who make the programme or book available online for 'free', deny writers, directors, actors, etc., income. That, my friend, is 'the harm' they are doing.
