Fascinating footage has emerged of a half-hour long RTE show called 'Out And About' which visited Co Cavan in 1989.

The show features interviews with the likes of Vincent Walsh, Gabriel Cullivan (town clerk), Val McCaul (Cavan Crystal), John Clancy (Derragarra Inn), Mel Doherty, Eugene McGee and Nigel Pratt among others.

Parts of the show feature a look at the county football team and also discuss the development of a new halting site in Cavan Town.

Cavan is referred to as "the quiet capital of Ireland".
