Scenes of the western coastal region of county Mayo and Galway; the River Shannon and the hydro-electric scheme; the machine-cut turf from the Bog of Allen and the turf-fired power station at Port Arlington; the making of cream and butter from the milk of the Golden Vale. Final sequences show great ports and centres of trade in Eire.
