In conversation with Marie Mannion & Emma Laffey

<p>We talk to County Galway Heritage Officer Marie Mannion and Emma Laffey of Skehana & District Heritage Group about the Galway Forged Gates Project, a wonderful project that skillfully reveals the connection between our tangible physical heritage and the intangible traditions, skills, stories and local histories they possess. We learn about the importance of recording our heritage (tangible and intangible) before it is lost and how a packet of biccies can go a long way when talking to our older generations to record their local knowledge.</p><p>Project Website: <a href="https://heritage.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/category/topics/galway-forged-gates-project">https://heritage.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/category/topics/galway-forged-gates-project</a></p><p>Marie Mannion: <a href="mailto:mmannion@galwaycoco.ie">mmannion@galwaycoco.ie</a></p><p>Galway Heritage Office website: <a href="https://heritage.galwaycommunityheritage.org/">https://heritage.galwaycommunityheritage.org/</a></p><p>Emma Laffey: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@user-uh7uh9uo8v">Mad About Heritage - Emma Laffey</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@user-uh7uh9uo8v">https://www.youtube.com/@user-uh7uh9uo8v</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075727884894">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075727884894</a></p><p> </p><p>If you have a question or would like to give us feedback, or ideas about future guests or topics, we’d love to hear from you so please give us a review and leave a comment wherever you get your podcasts, or get in touch by emailing us at <a href="mailto:spabireland@gmail.com">spabireland@gmail.com</a></p><p>For more information on SPAB Ireland:</p><p><a href="http://www.spab.org.uk/about-us/spab-ireland">www.spab.org.uk/about-us/spab-ireland</a></p><p>To follow us on social media:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/spabireland">www.instagram.com/spabireland</a></p><p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/spabireland">www.twitter.com/spabireland</a></p><p><a href="https://www
