It’s been a delight working with @seroddy.bsky.social of @maynoothuniversity.ie on PARISH (Preserving and Recording Ireland’s Sacred Heritage). We’re excited to see this project’s impact grow as a free, online source of genealogical information. thecatholicherald.com/article/init...

Initiative to preserve Ireland’s sacred heritage launches next month

The Parish project aims to create a freely accessible online archive of Ireland’s Catholic churches, preserving their history while providing a valuable resource for researchers and family historians

My letter to Minister Lawless about Research Ireland's decision to devolve the awarding of doctoral scholarships & postdoctoral fellowships to universities. A disastrous move. Please consider raising this issue in your own institutions and with elected representatives and the media.

Very sorry to hear of the recent death of Don MacRaild. Don was Professor of History at Northumbria, Wellington, Ulster, Roehampton, and London Met, where he was a PVC before his recent retirement. A leading historian of Ireland’s diaspora, he will be much missed by all who knew him.

Like everyone, I'm enjoying digging into the 1926 census. Has anyone else noticed that the household form for Eamon de Valera (though not the rest of his family) links to that for Sydney Beardmore... manager of the Swastika laundry?! nationalarchives.ie/collections/...
