@samtranum @DublinInquirer Rumour has it that @FourCourtsPress held their Christmas parties there in the early 1990s . . . but that was obviously a cultural and educational event . . .
The Brigid 1500: ‘Louth Birthplace of Brigid’ festival runs from 26th January until 5th February with celebrations commemorating the remarkable life of St. Brigid!😇
Led by @louthcoco the festival promises an enriching and immersive experience! For more 📲https://t.co/vWWuKLApqP
A very busy year at Four Courts Press but an extremely enjoyable one. Thank you so much to our authors for helping us to put together such a fine list and to all of the many people who helped us make the books and of course, the book buyers. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 📚🎅
