Ex-teacher! Author! Paperback of my book, St Brigid & Other Amazing Irish Women can be ordered through Columba Books or bookshops! I write about early medieval Irish saints & their monasteries/convents! Next book progressing well!
Hi Clare. Is the Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib available in English to download? I saw your work email a few months ago but didn't think to save it. In particular I'm looking for a reference to Lorrha/Lothra in Tipperary in 922. And a quote too on the breaking of St Ruadán’s shrine late 830s or 840s. Tnks

Thanks for all your kind likes Steve. But you're nearly the only person clicking like on my posts so I have to call bluesky a day after 2 prolonged attempts over the past year. I need to get on with my next book, & frankly bluesky is a total waste of my time. However my 17.8K on X respond to my Xs.
