No future in Oughterard

Visit the west of Ireland and you will be pleasantly surprised by the stunning beauty of its surroundings. Especially Lake Corrib in Connemara is a real gem. But behind the beauty there is a sad story to tell. This part of Ireland never really profited from the Celtic Tiger and was hit hard by the economic crisis. The story of the Kelly family in Oughterard is what many families go through in this part of Ireland. (this report was broadcast by NOS Journaal in teh run up to the Irish elections in Februari 2011)
