We had a Full house tonight for the Launch of Gerry Shannons book- “To Declare a Republic”.
Some words from Gerry Shannon: “My sincere thanks to Mattie McGrath, TD for launching my book, ‘Liam Lynch: To Declare a Republic’, in Newcastle village – a site so integral to Lynch’s final hours. My thanks also to Councillor Máirín McGrath for chairing, the entire Liam Lynch Newcastle Committee and all in attendance last night, rounded off by a performance from the Burncourt Drama Group. All images taken so superbly by John Foley Images“.
