    RTE’s radio programme Rattlebag ran a rerun of an interview with Eavan Boland, in which she spoke extensively about her experience as an Irish woman abroad, beginning with her childhood as a diplomat’s daughter. She read her poem “The Emigrant Irish�. She characterized her own experience by saying, “I was never an emigrant. I was outside my country – it’s a much more luxurious experience�.
