Two villages in south Tipperary have been profiled in a new two-part film by Tipperary Cultural Films.
A portrait of Bansha and Emly villages has been compiled by the trio of Dr Des Marnane (research, script & narration), Caleb Barrett(Videographer/Post Production) and Mary Alice O’Connor-Long(Producer). The films will be screened in each village in the coming weeks starting in Bansha on Sunday October 27th at 4pm at Templeneiry Church.
