Fr. Ferris’s History Book Launches Limited Print-Run

Teach Íosagáin in Rathmore was lán go doras on Friday 5th April for the launch by Seán Kelly MEP of Fr Ferris’s History of the Parishes of Rathmore, Gneeveguilla, and Knocknagree, edited and published recently by Brendan McCarthy, funded by LEADER.

Among the attendees were Bishop of Kerry Ray Browne, Professor Bernard O’Donoghue of Oxford University and Cullen, journalist and author Dónal Hickey, Aogán Ó h’Iarlaithe, editor of The Duhallow Journal and, in a nice

link between past and present, the evening was rounded off by noted Kerry uilleann piper Stephen Scales playing Domhnall A Phúmpa’s Reel composed by the old Gneeveguilla piper Domhnall Ó Fúmpa.

With a limited print-run, the book is destined to become a collector’s item and your copy can be secured at www.rathmorehistory.com, the Dungeon Bookshop, Killarney, O’Mahony’s Bookshop and Polymath Books, both in Tralee.
