Whipping the Herrings and Eating Goose for Lent - March 2nd, 2022

Today is Ash Wednesday so for the day that's in it, Jerry's been looking at Lenten traditions in the past. Robert Harris and Finola Finlay, from the Roaring Water Journal website (roaringwaterjournal.ie) speak to Jerry about when it was deemed ok for Catholics, particularly in Kerry to eat geese during Lent and on Fridays, even though Catholics were not allowed eat meat on Fridays and during Lent pre-Vatican II.
