Listen to Across the Counter: Enniscorthy
The final documentary in the four-part “Across the Counter” radio series was broadcast on Newstalk 106 at the end of November 2009.
“Across the Counter” in Leinster featured two Leinster towns in transition, in a radio journey down their main streets. The series was produced by Twintrack Media’s Aileen O’Meara, and funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland’s Sound and Vision fund, which supports the independent radio sector.
“Across the Counter in Leinster” brings the listener on a journey through two rapidly-changing towns – Enniscorthy in Wexford, and Balbriggan in north Dublin, through the eyes of local narrators.
“Balbriggan emerges as a town with a rich industrial heritage, which is almost overpowered by its transformation into a commuter town for the capital city,” said producer Aileen O’Meara, of Twintrack Media. “However, Enniscorthy has retained much of its character, with original shopfronts and small businesses retained in its centre.”
“Across the Counter in Leinster” is the last in a unique four-part series chronicling the changes in small towns in Ireland’s four provinces, broadcast on Newstalk over the past two years. The series was made with funding from the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland’s Sound and Vision fund.
