The notes on this clip read: “Thatchers work on the roof of the cottage of William Carleton novelist and poet, who was born near Clogher in 1794. Carleton was a somewhat controversial figure who took the stories of his impoverished childhood and wrote them into ethnic sketches of poor Irish people.”
