Podcast Launch: Inniú agus Inné- The lifecycle of Ballinasloe Library

A new Irish history podcast, “Inniú agus Inné”, will launch on Saturday 15 August in Ballinasloe Library at 11.30am, bringing attention to one of the country’s most overlooked institutions: the former St Gabriel’s Convent and St Joseph’s Industrial School, now home to Ballinasloe Library.

Created and presented by historian Abbie McGowan, the limited series examines the building’s evolution from a site of religious life and institutionalisation to a modern public library rooted in inclusivity and community.

The launch event promises to be interesting and engaging and will include a preview of the first episode, a short talk on the project and an invitation for community members to share memories or reflections of the building.

This podcast has been produced to fulfil the requirements of an MScILS from Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.
