De Paor Audio

I have received the audio from UCD of Pádraig de Paor recorded by Séamus Ó Duilearga in January, 1936. The audio is 12 minutes in total. The quality isn't great but it is probably typical of recordings from the time.

I will soon be posting my attempts at linguistic notes of the audio but sharing the actual sound will not be possible until I know more about the correct protocol for reproduction of the National Folklore Collection's material.

For those interested, Sound Archive material is referenced as follows:

National Folklore Collection (henceforth NFC), sound archive reference, item number, informant, age, occupation, address. Collector, date.

Example:

NFC TM163/A/2; John Reilly (80), farmer, Ballydesmond, County Cork. Collector: Tom Munnelly, 16th June 1972.

So, the Pádraig (Paddy) de Paor recording is referenced as follows:

NFC CT0241_M0676a-M0676d; Paddy de Paor, Gleann Mór, Cill Chainnigh. Collector: Séamus Ó Duilearga, January 1936. 

The age is missing.
