Claire Byrne Returns to Laois Roots

RTÉ will air Claire Byrne's Tracks and Trails episode this week, featuring her return to her Laois roots.

Claire joins Doireann Ní Ghlacáin on a 10.5km walk along the Glenbarrow Old Mill Loop, which winds through forest, waterfalls, and ancient ruins.

Maireann fear ina dhúthaigh féin i bhfad - Long after you're gone, you survive in your locality or community for a long time after.

The episode is a personal experience for Claire, as memories of her childhood surface during the walk.
