Always lovely to have the company of other Irish authors next door to you on the bookshelf as you wait for someone to bring you away on another imaginative journey. @happy_scribbler @BookwormThurles

Thanks to Katherine for spotting #WiderThanthe Sea in the wonderful @BookwormThurles (what a fantastic name for a bookshop😊) and my son (Fionn!) was delighted to see who it was neighbours with @ronanmoore 😂😂😂

Good use of parenthesis @BooksForOurKids, otherwise I'd have thought @PigletWineBar had a good children's section & not the outstranding @gutterbookshop:)!
Really glad you enjoyed #YoungFionn. Thanks for the kind words & hope you enjoy reading aloud #FionnAndTheFianna @Gill_Books

Thanks @CorkEchoLive for the write-up of Fionn and the Fianna, as a top tip for summer reads for kids. @Gill_Books

If Fionn MacCumhaill did trick Benandonner in the mysterious & beautiful Donegal caves of Maghera, the question becomes, which one? @TheDonegalTimes @wildatlanticway @Gill_Books @DonegalLibrary #FionnAndTheFianna

Tips for budding young writers? How to expand your vocabulary? The importance of dialogue? Just some of the really interesting questions from some exceptional young readers & writers at yesterday's Maynooth library talk. @kildarelibrary
Always fun & interesting.

Nice to get back (virtually) into schools to talk all things Fionn as part of their literacy week. This morning it was the wonderful CBS Ennis in the Banner county of #Clare. @Gill_Books @ebcf

Reading has the power to change lives, but in 2008 the school library budget was cut entirely.
Children's Books Ireland is calling for the reinstatement of the school library grant, so that every child has the chance to discover and develop a love of reading.

While #Rathcroghan #Roscommon - entry to the Otherworld, might not get the attention of Newgrange or Tara, it played some role in Ancient Irish history, as well as in #FionnAndTheFianna where the deathly spirit, the Dealra Dubh awaits.

Most tourists, both Irish and international, will be unfamiliar with Rathcroghan in County Roscommon, but it used to be the ancient royal capital of Connacht. #Ireland #IrishHistory #Roscommon #Rathcroghan irishcentral.com/roots/histo…

Really looking forward to talking with the children's book club at Maynooth Community Library in June about the Young Fionn series. My website (ronanmoore.ie) has free resources for teachers and young people who are reading the books @Gill_Books @kildarelibrary

Many moons ago one of Ireland's greatest warriors visited @CliffsofMoherIE when he was still a kid. It felt like the very edge of the world for him back then & little has changed since.
Great to see it back opened. @wildatlanticway @discoverirl #YoungFionn #FionnAndTheFianna
