The Limerick Writers’ Centre announce Dublin launch of “1916-2016: An Anthology of Reactions”

Limerick Writers’ Centre hope to see some of the group who attended that launch, attend their event this week in Dublin.
Historian Dr. John O’Callaghan said at the Limerick launch, “this book will itself be an important historical document to record the reaction to the rising one hundred years after it took place”
