このコンテンツについて

Hello! You’re very welcome to Twenty-Five. hosted by me, Clodagh Traynor.


In this series, I sit with South Armagh women as they reflect on their life when they were around the age of 25.


The purpose of this podcast is to act as a time capsule, preserving and amplifying the stories of South Armagh women, in their own words, so they can be heard now and in the future.


Each episode starts with similar questions, but what I found is that every woman has a completely different experience of that time in her life. And at the same time, we get to see the thread that connects us, no matter the era or circumstance.


Through personal stories, it aims to shine a light on the extraordinary in the everyday, while also recognising that South Armagh itself is an extraordinary place for so many reasons.


This project is supported by the Social Change initiative.

    Episode 2: I spent time with Patricia Kernan in her home in Crossmaglen. Family and football have been at the heart of Patricia’s life for decades, much like Gaelic games are central to culture in South Armagh.


    Originally from Jonesborough, Patricia married Joe Kernan at 18, and in her own words, they took on every obstacle as a team. From then on, one of her main goals was to build and maintain a strong family unit- and they did just that.


    In this episode, we talk about rearing a family during the conflict, getting married at Dublin Airport, working from home before it was normal, and how her ‘boys’ turned the field behind their house into their own Croke Park.


    Patricia also reflects on the tragedy of losing their first baby boy, Joseph, who would have been 46. She talks about fertility struggles, their longing for a family, the trauma of an ectopic pregnancy, and how their Labrador Bruno helped save her life.


    This is Patricia Kernan, at Twenty-Five.


    ***Content Warning: While this conversation aims to raise awareness, this episode contains discussions of baby loss which some people might find distressing.

    In this episode, I sat down with Aisling Muckian from Silverbridge. Aisling comes from a background familiar to many in South Armagh, being brought up surrounded by music and song.


    Most recently, Aisling and her sister Aine were both diagnosed with breast cancer within weeks of each other.

    Now known online as the Silverbridge Sisters online, they’ve been sharing their journey publicly to help raise awareness of breast cancer in younger women.


    In this conversation, we talk about living in Miami, life on a cruise ship, and spending her 25th birthday on her honeymoon - though things didn’t quite go to plan. We also hear about the role of music in her life, her work, her family, and her friendships. And how nothing matters more to her than her children.


    At 25, Aisling’s life was very different- and in her own words, not for better or for worse.

    This is Aisling Muckian at 25.
