Bibliographical note
Impact: The workshops were attended by approx. 120 members of the Irish Countrywomen's Association as part of a taster day organised by Age & Opportunity. The audience was made up of Irish women in the 40-80 age range, including a number who lived through rural electrification and all of whom live in areas electrified during the project. The sample oral history interviews which the women conducted in pairs formed a taster for the experience of interviewing and being interviewed, as well as a prompt to memory of experiences common to their peer group.Organising Body: Irish Countrywomen's Association
