He described his motivation to preserve hill forts, rural dwellings and native plants in the context of general preservation of folkways. He also briefly described how his conservation ethics had come to disagreement with the centralized progressive goals of modernist planners. He has been called "one of the greatest of Irish story-tellers. You haven't heard a story until you've heard it told by Eddie Lenihan.
