Máire Ni Mhurchú meets the Echo Boys, who sell ‘The Evening Echo’ in Cork City every day with a distinctive sales pitch.
There have been Echo Boys ever since the newspaper was first published on 14 July 1892 and sold for a halfpenny a copy. Máire Ní Mhurchú meets some of them. They tell her about their tradition and the best spots to sell the paper around the city.
The report includes a clip of Cathal Dunne playing the keyboard as the boys sing along to ‘The Boys of Fairhill’ in the ‘Echo Boys Club’ on Fr Matthew Quay.
Also featured is editor Declan Hassett, who explains how ‘The Evening Echo’ is put together. Circulation manager Richard (Dick) Caverly describes the Echo Boys as vital to distribution: they are responsible for selling about 12,000 copies of the newspaper each day. Newspaper dealer Donal O’Mahony discusses the selection process for hiring Echo Boys, their age and reliability.
John Kelleher, an adult paper seller, talks about his work and about setting up the News Vendors Association to protect newspaper sellers and the Echo Boys. There is an interview with one of the only female newspaper vendors, Katherine Heaphey, who started selling papers at the age of four.
This report by Máire Ní Mhurchú was broadcast on 19 January 1977 as part of the ‘Next Stop’ series. The filming took place from 13 -17 December 1976.
‘Next Stop’ was a weekly series from and about the provinces, highlighting items of general interest or concern. It was presented by John O’Donoghue, Áine O’Connor and Nicholas Coffey.

@@daithiocinnsealach1982 I do not think their situation was rosy at all, but seeing these boys touched my heart and reminded me to be glad I spent many years teaching, even though it was hard work with little financial reward. Being with the children themselves really was the reward, and I only hope I was a decent teacher some of the time to some of them. I feel pretty cynical about everything most of the time these days, and seeing these boys made me feel a bit of love and affection for a minute. I hope they went on to reasonably good lives. I came from one of those big families, it has drawbacks but they have a lot of good things about them too. So, yes, I guess I was being a bit nostalgic…rose colored glasses etc…

@@61505 Sorry mate. I was on the kick off in the comments section and I might have accidently caught you with a backhander ha ha. Seriously though, I thought, oh no another millenial liberal who wants to say that the past isn't better than the present because these kids where in forced child labour or they'd had to drop out of school because of poverty or something? I don't know if the echo was only on a Suturday either but as a Gen X-er I can definitely say that we all hated school anyway back then and earning your own money that you'd worked for was always faaar preferable to someone just giving you money for nothing. It's all about 'work ethic' and it's a major reason why anyone born since the 80's has zero get up and go. We got our weekend 'pocket money' only AFTER we'd mowed the lawn, washed the floor, cleaned the budgies cage etc. So it gave us backbone rather than entitlement. I aint even having a pop at these sh1t generations (irony), I'm merely pointing out why they are so selfish and shallow. If they give the kids some household chores to do though, we could get things back-on-track very easily. Anyway. Sorry for being so facetious. I just don't want to see Western Civilisation go down the sh1tter. Aiye

I have a bit of a hangover on 2nd last morning of week in 🇪🇸.Not sure I'm up to all 18 mins right now. I'm wondering is this the footage where a young boy being interviewed says something like 'they would shame you' with reference to the opposite sex. Not explaining it well but both hilarious and yet also touching....

this is how it works. An ignorant lost boomer talking about "common sense" when NONE of the marxists actually believe their lies and are instead just vile and filthy and strategic (winning against the boomers ignorance). and millions of npc's like conor here not even being able to say no to poison injections and mutilation of 10 year olds.
