Episode 4

All the action from the historic and picturesque Puck Fair in County Kerry.

Gach Lúnasa bíonn siamsaíocht den scoth i mbaile beag Chill Orglan, i gContae Chiarraí. Seo ceann eile de na haontaí is sine sa tír – Aonach an Phoic. Is é an gabhar fiáin rí na féile ach bíonn banríon agus cailíní feithimh aici, bíonn aonach capall ann agus bíonn sluaite móra ó gach áit ar domhan ag baint sult as na himeachtaí- as an cheol, an pharáid, an amhránaíocht agus gach rud eile. Beidh Declan Mangan agus a bhean Anne ag coinneáil súil ar imeachtaí, beidh Pat Healy ag coinneáil smacht ar thrácht, beidh Mike Dowd ag ceol ó mhaidin go hoíche, beidh John Pat Long i measc na gcapall agus beidh Dessie agus David Cronin ag tabhairt poiblíochta do Kerry Social Farming ag an seastán.

It is Lúnasa lunacy in Killorglin as they face the annual Puck fair. They’ve captured the puck, they’ve chosen their queen, the traffic barriers are up, the barrels are replenished and they’re good to go. Declan Mangan is puck-mad and his wife Anne isn’t far behind him as they throw themselves into organising the event.

John Pat Long has some wheeling and dealing to do down in the horse-trading field. Dessy Cronin and his son David promote Kerry Social farming and bump into Peter Crowley. There are some quick costume changes for Mike Dowd, from playing music in the local bar to marching in the parade. Will the traffic controller with the most difficult job on the planet, Pat Healy, manage to get King Puck through the town and up onto his throne in the sky?
