Sermon
in Stamps:
This item features Alfred Langenbach, a man with
an unusual hobby. He specialises in religious
postage stamps and from his album he shows scenes
from the scriptures, from lives of the saints,
and from the religious life of countries all over
the world. He is a German resident in Ireland
and is chef on the staff of a Dublin hospital.
Touist, Co. Kerry:
This documentary features a place, which very
few people ever heard mentioned - Touist, Co.
Kerry. Touist's problem is depopulation and the
answer which it is trying, on a basis of community
effort, is to sell itself as a tourist resort.
Radharc gives an interim report on the progress
to date and shows a community that has decided
to face its problems instead of running away from
them. Touist in 1840 had a population of 7,400.
Today (1963), it has a population less than 900.
One marriage took place between 1959 and 1963
in the parish.
