IT EXISTS! IN REAL LIFE! Yes, the book version of this page has arrived and looks pretty good. In full colour, it’s packed with a mixture of brilliant photos and stories from the history of our parish. The very best stuff featured here on-line is included, plus there’s loads of never-before-seen photos and many untold stories too. Bunratty Castle’s most famous battle, the Ballycar teacher who inspired Michael D. Higgins, Shannon’s first airplane crash and our local links with Daniel O’Connell, Eamon de Valera and The Beatles.
