General Seán Mac Eoin

Broadcast Interview by Terence deVere White 1964

This hour long 1964 broadcast interview by Terence deVere White is the best footage of Seán MacEoin on record.  Seán never got to see this interview himself.  He was promised a copy of the interview by RTE (Irish State Broadcaster) but the recording was lost and Sean unfortunately never got the copy he was promised.  Thankfully it was found years later.
