Meenacross Fair, Donegal - 1986
Cattle, knitwear and farm produce are in competition at the Meenacross Agricultural Society Fair in Donegal.
The 26th Annual Meenacross Fair takes place on the outskirts of Dungloe in County Donegal. Agricultural Society secretary Terence Bonner explains the fair begin in 1960 to fill a specific need,
There were fairs everywhere else and we didn’t have anything here.
Despite the poor weather conditions, judging of cattle, sheep and horses is taking place. Inside the community centre, competition is equally fierce as a variety of farm home produce and knitwear and handcrafts vie for the judges’ attention. Evening activities include novelty events such as tug of war and throwing the sheaf. There is even the promise of dancing.
Brigid Green is a regular attendee at the Meannacross Fair. She has travelled all the way from Arranmore, bringing with her a homemade apple tart and a hand-knitted Aran jacket. She cannot estimate how long it took to make the jacket, but knows she can knit a sock from start to finish in one evening.
Brigid Green is not really bothered about winning a prize,
I don’t care, I don’t mind as long as I get out here today.
This sentiment is echoed among the other attendees using the fair as a opportunity to get together with friends and neighbours.
This episode of ‘Faces and Places’ was broadcast on 9 August 1986.

    Freemasons running Sinn Fein for the Communists. A seres of antipopes since the imposter Roncalli seized the papacy for the Freemasons in 1958 . Catholics duped again by Freemasons destroying the Mass , just did a better job than Luther or Cranmer by staying as imposters in order to wreck the Catholic Faith by destroying Catholic doctrine. That’s why Bergoglio gained the approval of homosexuals.

    Eddie McAteer, Jim McCabe and James Doherty were fathers of some of my childhood friends, but we were the lucky ones, the Doherty's house on Queen Street was quite sizable, but he was a successful businessman. It was the professional Catholic neighbourhood; my father, a dentist got too involved in politics for his own good, so we took off for Australia in 1970. I was five when this was made, and on holidays in Ballyliffin Donegal and in later years Greencastle, so I never got to see the Apprentice Boys' parade. 1969 was a doozie; I'd just come back from holidays in Greencastle and the Sunday evening before we started school, the late Dennis Heaney (look him up) and myself (both good Catholic Clarendon Street boys) went on a defenestration spree in the wreckage of The Battle of the Bogside. The next morning we had to navigate our way past two sets of barricades constructed from the rubble of the destroyed building to get to the Bogside where the Christian Bros School and the Tech were located. Happy Days, no wonder my family left, I'd probably have been killed by ENGLISH soldiers like Dennis if we hadn't.

    The old Corporation was a totally corrupt, gerrymandered disaster. Thousands homeless or in total slums. But, it was still full of brilliant communities, where everyone in a street knew everyone else. It was well on the way to being reformed. Then the IRA bombed it to bits. The City-side Prods fled over the river. It is now divided on sectarian lines in a way which it certainly wasn’t when this film was made.
