Bareback riding into the Irish Sea, tasting ice cream for the family dairy and watching cattle being driven through the streets of Dublin are among the golden memories of this weeks interview with Miriam Moore of County Monaghan. As well as her childhood in north Dublin during the 1940s and 1950s, Miriam recounts her experience of working as a nurse in the days when hospital wards were ruled by no-nonsense Matrons.
