South West Donegal: Tradition and Change

Synopsis

South-west Donegal is one of the most remote parts of Western Europe - a land of scattered settlements and small farms, In the past the economy was based on farming, fishing, spinning and weaving, and emigration was endemic. Today local life is very different, mainly thanks to EEC memebership. Looks at how a family, the Fullers, have coped with the changes.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
