DÚCHAS VOLUME 2 – THE DUHALLOW HISTORICAL JOURNAL
Bernard O’Donoghue, of Oxford University and Cullen, will launch Dúchas Volume 2 - The Duhallow Historical Journal at 8pm on Saturday, August 26. The event will take place at Cultúrlann Mhic Amhlaoibh, Newmarket’s beautiful and recently furbished venue in the old Protestant church in the town.
The journal contains pieces by twelve authors, ten of whom have written essays in English and two in Irish. Among the contributors are a mixture of local authors and university academics. The history and folklore of Duhallow and its hinterland are the focus. Places touched upon include, but are not confined to, Ballydesmond, Bowen’s Court, Buttevant, Carriganimmy, Castleisland, Castlemagner, Cullen, Glenlara, Glenlohane, Kanturk, Kilmallock, Kiskeam, Knocknanuss, Macroom, Mallow, Millstreet, Newmarket and Pobal Uí Chaoimh.
Contributions are currently being sought for Volume 3, which it is hoped will appear in 2024. Please contact the editor if interested in submitting an article.
