Forgotten Ireland - The Brothers - Paddy & Nicholas Butler

Forgotten Ireland
Nicholas and Paddy Butler hailed from the foot of the Comeragh Mountains, in the Townsland of Coolnahorna (Cúil na hEorna) in the parish of Mothel, Co.Waterford, not far from the village of Counshinghaun.
The brothers lived and worked together in quiet, frugal contentment for many years. However, one of them was harbouring a secret, a secret that was to rock the foundations of their friendship, their homestead and, ultimately, their way of life.
Filming commenced in 1992 by filmmaker Richard Fitzgerald and continued on and off until 2001. Paddy died suddenly in 1997. Nicholas outlived his older brother by five years, shuffling off this mortal coil in 2002.
This programme, 'Townlands - The Brothers' was first broadcast on RTE1 in 2006.
God bless them both and Rest In Peace.

Because it was lashing rain and there was little else he could do and he wasn’t going to let the rain stop him from doing a days work.

[@elaineforan4751]

Its interesting to see the comments about the idyllic life. I am from this area and my grandfather would have been about 20yrs older than these lads. I see two men trapped by the obligation of keeping the family farm. People are seeing these fellas as a dead breed but i know countless men (mostly) still stuck farming, working just as hard and although the machinery and tech has changed, the 24/7 demands haven't. People see these fellas as happy go lucky and i just see two fellas resigned to the life they had to live. The frequent references to the mother tells me she would likely not have tolerated another woman on her patch. It's interesting to see how our backgrounds can colour our interpretation of this life.

[@smartliving4464]

A simple but moving story about ordinary people. I think deep down inside us all we know that these are the sort of people we should be admiring, instead of the phony and vacuous so called media made "celebrity's". Simple, ordinary, down to earth, everyday people just going about their normal life, doing the best that they can with the cards that life has dealt them. My heart goes out to Nicholas for the loss of his brother and life long companion Paddy, how hard it must have been for him in those first few weeks and months for him to carry on with his life, you can hear it in his voice when he talks about how Paddy was towards the end, and when he mentions how he just has to accept it and do his best to deal with it as he moves forward, so sad. As for Nicholas feeling betrayed in regards to Paddy's daughter, there could easily be several different scenarios to explain this, maybe it was only a very short term relationship that Paddy had with the mother long ago, or even a one night stand after which there was no more contact at all between the mother and Paddy, maybe the mother moved away to raise the child by herself, and the child was not even aware of who her father was until the death of Paddy when she was finally told the truth. Let us all give the daughter, and also Paddy himself, the benefit of the doubt on all of this, I very much doubt that he would have deliberately kept this from Nicholas if he had of known about it himself. Much respect to these two Irish gentlemen

I had two bachelor uncles myself in Kilkenny. Hoeboys (if that's the correct spelling) as bachelor farmers were known locally. They were my Gods - my Heroes. As a lad coming over from London - they were beyond cool. There was zero rush on them - and they weren't even bothered about taking five minutes or so to even start a conversation. Looking back of course I hade very rose tinted glasses about their lives. As I got older I realised what a hard existence it was - so much hard work could be completely undone by the weather alone - how soul destroying that must have been. No wonder they were so obsessed with listening to the weather on their crackly old transistor radio

Nicholas and Paddy are now up there, chatting away in peace, whilst a rat more than likely sold the land, and scarped with the money. 50 years she and her mother kept away, but only surfaced to get money.

He laughed back long and hard, he said " son the woman you want is the woman that will go with you in that wee Massey Ferguson tractor parked beside the house.
