'I didn't have the language for it' - Eileen Walsh on the impact of finding her grandfather dead in the back garden when she was six
"At the bottom of the garden, the little girl saw the wellies first. Eileen Walsh was six, maybe seven, and had already checked the usual places."
"I'm the youngest of six, and my job every evening was to go and get Granda and call him in for dinner. Sometimes he'd be up in his room, and he was obviously very fervent."
Eileen Walsh, as a child, was tasked with calling her grandfather in for dinner. She often found him in the garden or his room. Rumors of guns buried in the garden led to a deeper exploration of her grandfather's life and the items discovered there, revealing more than just the expected firearms. The documentary sheds light on these findings and their significance to Walsh's understanding of her family history.
