Catherine Swift, Brian Hodkinson & Tom Donovan, ( Editors) - Limestone and River : Essays on Limerick History in Honour of Liam Irwin - BRAND NEW ✓ In Stock

From Viking trading place to modern hi-tech city, Limerick’s long history as Ireland’s oldest Atlantic port has been played out against its natural backdrop of limestone and river. The stone circles of Lough Gur, the Norman strongholds of Askeaton and Adare as well as King John’s Castle, the Treaty stone, the Georgian quarter of Newtown Pery, the Cleeves Factory and Thomond Park all stand proudly within this landscape today as monumental testimony to the region’s character, a place where the peoples of Ireland and Britain have clashed, meshed and evolved into a distinctive whole.With such a vibrant cultural inheritance, it is hardly surprising that Limerick is also the home of one of the oldest and biggest of Ireland’s local history societies, first founded as the Limerick Naturalists Field Club in 1892 and now the Thomond Archaeological and Historical Society (TAHS). This volume of essays on Limerick city and county has been put together in honour of Liam Irwin, retired Head of History in Mary Immaculate College and leading member of the society for forty years, by his many admirers and friends.Contributors include: Charlotte Murphy (TAHS); Catherine Swift (Mary I.); Luke McInerney (ind.); Lenore Fischer (ind.); Úna Nic Énrí (MIC); Ursula Callaghan (TAHS); Tom Donovan (TAHS); Maura Cronin (MIC); Brian Hodkinson (TAHS); Gerard Curtin (ind.); Matthew Potter (TAHS); Tadhg Moloney (ind.); Bernadette Whelan (UL); Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh (NUIG); Rose Cleary (UCC); Milo Spillane (TAHS). LARGER FORMAT HARDCOVER, DUE FOR PUBLICATION DECEMBER 2024

Edward Burke - Ghosts of a Family : Ireland’s Most Infamous Unsolved Murder and the Origins of the Troubles - PB - BRAND NEW ✓ In Stock

The gripping historical true crime story of Ireland’s most infamous unsolved murder, the sectarian massacre of six Catholic civilians in their north Belfast home in 1922.      At 1.20am on 24 March 1922, five men, four dressed in police uniforms, broke into the north Belfast house of Owen McMahon, a well-known Catholic publican. They gathered the male members of the family, told them to ‘say their prayers’ and fatally shot McMahon, four of his sons and Eddie McKinney, an employee of the family. Nobody was ever charged with the murders, and a devastating chain of events had been set in motion. In retaliation, the IRA assassinated the former head of the British Army, Sir Henry Wilson, and a subsequent British ultimatum to the Irish government sparked the Irish Civil War days later. The reluctance of the unionist Belfast government to pursue loyalist killers drove rifts between Northern Ireland’s two main communities even deeper, laying the foundations for the Troubles at the end of the twentieth century. Over one hundred years later, Edward Burke has uncovered the identity of the McMahons’ likely murderer, a First World War veteran who led the most dangerous loyalist gang in Belfast. Ghosts of a Family is a riveting cold-case investigation that invokes the smoke-filled streets of Belfast during the cataclysmic violence of 1920–22, and explores how the ramifications of the McMahon killings are still being felt to this day. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr Edward Burke is a historian at University College Dublin, specialising in the study of political violence, insurgencies and paramilitarism. His previous books are An Army of Tribes: British Army Cohesion, Deviancy and Murder in Northern Ireland (Liverpool, 2018) and Ulster’s Lost Counties: Loyalism and Paramilitarism since 1920 (Cambridge, 2024).
