Left home at 7.15; drove to Limerick to buy microphone for mini-disc and DV tapes and discs. Drove on to Silvermines, did some recording in Cuan Mhuire of the birdsong. Drove to the Irish Aluminium Co. in Nenagh and did some more filming. Met Martina Finn after lunch, discussed the direction and also the logistics of locating the Space Shuttle in Silvermines. I met with Gearoid Fitgibbon, community development officer in Newport, discussed a few ideas. Went out to Dromineer, just to check out Neddy’s cottage again – really like the cottage, but not so inspired by the surroundings. Can’t really imagine how it would work there for an art project. There’s a sort of ‘transient’ feel to the community (boats, tourists).
The sun came out and I wanted to see how Silvermines looked in the evening, how the light fell on the old mines and also if there were any teenagers hanging about. (Have not see any to date). Met up with Martina Finn, walked around, checked out the Handball Alley (good for evening films in the summer) went into Hickey’s pub in the evening and met Tommy Hickey who has wonderful stories about the place. Asked him if I could go back and interview him, to which he agreed.
