'A bulletin of abuse and mockery'...In 1952, Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh & his brother Peter published a magazine called 'Kavanagh's Weekly'.

Although it only lasted 13 issues, it launched a scathing critique of Irish society in that short time. ucdculturalheritagecollections.com/2025/05/15/a...

It’s not, Dorota, it was taken earlier today. I was sad to miss the workshop on Monday though, I’m sure it was a good one!

Liam Lynch was killed #OTD 1923. @gerardshannon.bsky.social wrote about the final IRA executive meeting attended by Lynch for the @ucdlibrary.bsky.social cultural heritage blog. The minutes survive in the Papers of Eamon de Valera: UCDA P150/1739.
