Ronan Kelly - Lost In Holland

If you get lost in the Dutch town of Hilversum, you might come across a house with a window sign proclaiming, 'Céad Míle Fáilte!'
The house isn't owned by any Irish but by a local couple, Theo & Louise.
They love Ireland. In fact, they like the place so much that they've made a big decision about their retirement in a few years' time.
It's not the first big decision they've made together: they were a couple in their teens, then split up, then sought each other out and reunited 40 years later.

The Curious Ear is produced by Ronan Kelly (May 15, 2011).
A short documentary from RTE Radio, Ireland.

This interview is absolutely enchanting. It was like seeing myself in this Dutch couple. I have had the same dream as they. And I have read books on Irish emigration that he named. I know what they love about Ireland. I hope, by now, their dream will have come true. Mr Kelly, you have an extraordinary gift for getting people to share what is really in their hearts. In this half-crazed world of today, we need more of what you deliver. All the best from Pennsylvania.
