Brian Keenan and Dermot Bolger Lecture

Our first lecture was an outstanding success. A packed house, two wonderful speakers and a great audience.

Can't wait for our next, on Bog Bodies with Dr Eamonn Kelly on the 24th November.

After School Activity in Mt St. Francis

Delighted to see 22 young people from the travelling community involved in One Cavan, One Writer, through the After School Service. They are working on a giant paiper mache horse, using Siobhan's short story, "Pavee and the Buffer", as inspiration for their project. Well done all involved!

Also, The London Eye Mystery is being used in Loughan House Prison as part of their literacy classes.

Looking forward to hearing more from both projects.
