Manhattan to West Cork: Alice's adventures in Ireland

As a young girl Alice Carey came to realise that 'home' can mean different things.

Raised in New York by Kerry immigrants in search of a better life Alice sometimes visited Ireland with her mother, travelling steerage on ocean liners.

The radical contrast between 1960s rural Ireland and cosmopolitan Manhattan caused confusion and conflict.

Later, Alice and her husband fell in love with an abandoned Georgian farmhouse in West Cork.

As they restored its stables, Alice unearthed disturbing childhood memories played out in wildly divergent homes in New York City, Fire Island and Killarney.
