The St Lawrence family have lived in this castle in Ireland for almost 800 years. The Irish Passport podcast met the current heir, Julian Gaisford-St Lawrence, to find out more about what it's like to keep a castle in the family for 35 generations. Our visit was a glimpse into the fading world of the lost tribe of aristocrats that once ruled Ireland.

To hear from Julian Gaisford-St Lawrence and to find out about the decline of Ireland's once-mighty Anglo-Irish aristocracy, listen to our episode 'Elites'. The Irish Passport is a podcast on Irish culture, history and politics made by Naomi O'Leary and Tim McInerney.
