Government Plans for Commemorative Events 2020-23: Discussion
Ms Róisín O'Grady:
It is Tipperary 1917-1921: A History in 80 Documents. That followed County Tipperary in 1916: A History in 40 Documents. These publications consider events in the county through primary sources, including newspapers and eyewitness accounts. It is an attempt to engage people who may not be specifically interested in history or attending historical lectures.
It is an attempt to engage the wider community on incidents that happened in the county, the different perspectives on same and the way they were reported. That was done by the local studies service of the Tipperary libraries and a local historian.
