The early 20th century in Ireland witnessed many significant events - 1916, the War of Independence, the Civil War, etc - and Galway was as caught up in those events as anywhere else in the country.
The lead up to the Rising, and Galway’s role in 1916 and the subsequent events of 1919 to 1923 are examined in a new book by Tomás Kenny, entitled Galway: politics and society, 1910–23.
Galway: politics and society, 1910–23 will be officially launched at Kenny’s Bookshop, in the Liosbán Industrial Estate, Tuam Road, tomorrow at 6pm. The guest speaker will be Dr Gerard Moran of NUI Maynooth.
Galway: politics and society, 1910–23 is published by the Four Courts Press. See www.fourcourtspress.ie
