If you're thinking of books for Christmas, you might wish to consider ordering one of these. No pressure. Jus' sayin'. #Christmas #Books #BlackFriday #ShopLocal #BuyIrish

Dr. Leeann Lane's thought-provoking exhibtion Cork Afterlives is now on display in O'Reilly library. Don't miss the untold stories of Cork’s revolutionary women who stayed single, and were sidelined, in the Irish Free State.
