Dear estate agents/auctioneers, vendors, if you are clearing out old solicitorโs offices, please contact county archives or local history societies before you skip irreplaceable archives. I just heard that two skips containing boxes of archival material ended up in landfill.

We trekked and picked until the cans were full,
Until the tinkling bottom had been covered
With green ones, and on top big dark blobs burned
Like a plate of eyes. Our hands were peppered
With thorn pricks, our palms sticky as Bluebeard's.
Blackberry-Picking, Seamus Heaney

I am currently researching and writing a book on the women of Ennis Cumann na mBan which will focus on their lives before, during and after the revolutionary period. I would love to talk to the relatives of these women to bring their stories out of the shadows....

The green harp flag of Ireland
It was first recorded in 1642
It became the flag of the 1798 rebellion &, for many, a national standard
So why didnโt it become the Irish National Flag? (1)
