Irish Billy’s Lake & 1968 Electricity

In this short one minute video taken 3 miles from the town of Castlebar, Ireland, I met the cattle rancher named Billy who owned the beautiful lands you see here. Located not far from the windmills that now supply power to hundreds of thousands of homes here on the Emerald Isle, he tells me electricity did not make it to his beautiful home you will see off in the distance, until 1968 (below is a better picture of his home, I took it a few months later).
