Passed this earlier in Blackpool Cork nice to see a bridge in the City named after Mary MacSwiney but surely a statue should not be out of the question.

Remembering 2022 Electric Picnic when it also rained and rained. I was on a panel to discuss @marg50.bsky.social Margaret Ward’s Unmanageable Revolutionaries. There was such mud and endless walking but Margaret and I ended up laughing so much as we traversed the terrain and that is a nice memory.

It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to one of our dear authors, colleagues and friends. James Quinn has written several books for UCD Press and was always an absolute joy to work with. Diligent and humble in his work, he is a great loss to our history community in Ireland. RIP James
