-How are you doing? -Hi, Maire. How are you? -Good to meet you. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-Nice to meet you too. -Are you busy here? -Oh, very busy. -What are you doing? | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
We're actually doing a survey for pine martens in this forest. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
What we're doing is trying to attach this tube to this tree here. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
We're hoping a pine marten will come and visit it | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
and leave a hair sample for us to get DNA-tested | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
so that we can identify how many individuals are in the forest. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-This tube has a bit of bait in it. -Right. -A bit of meat. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
It also has some sticky glue traps here. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
You can just see them in there. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
We're hoping that the pine marten will come along, smell the bait, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
stick its head in, get the bait and deposit hair samples on the glue traps. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
-That sticks to this? -Yes, that sticks to this here. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Then we can get that DNA-tested to identify the species, the sex, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
and also get a unique individual identification. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Pine martens are so rare, they nearly became extinct. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Well, they did become extinct through most of the country. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
People don't really know what they look like, you know. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
They're also a very difficult species to survey. They avoid people. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
So, the fact people don't really know what they are is a bit of an issue | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
and we're hoping to use this project | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
to try and increase the profile of the species. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
In the three-kilometre zone there is a virtual standstill | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
on the movement of animals except for slaughter. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
THEY MUTTER PRAYERS | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
Our Father who art in heaven, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |

Up here in the Waterworks you'll see that where we are | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
is in a real interface area. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
There's a fence to my left here that was put up a number of years ago | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
to stop petrol bombs going across to the houses here. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
So, this was a bit of land that was not being used | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
and we thought it was the perfect size for a community garden. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
What's the difference between a community garden and an allotment? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
A community garden not only grows plants and flowers but it grows community. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
So, we work together. No one person has their own piece of ground. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
We come together every week and decide what it is we're growing. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
We plan it together and the craic is mighty. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
Certainly in this interface area | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
it's the first time there's been a project or anything | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
that hasn't been vandalised or ruined. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
