[Mario Corrigan @mariomcorrigan]

@riverbankarts @kildarelibrary Found it in a forest of trees, chopped it down with a blunt axe and the sweat upon my brow, carried it on my bare naked shoulders across rivers and mountains, pitched it into the corner (fluffing out the branches) and called it HOME-If Carlsberg did Christmas trees!! #savingxmas

Our Day 2 #DIKBChallenge choice is Michael Collins: Ireland’s Rebel Son by our favourite local author/illustrator team @mariomcorrigan and @anithingartist. Great for getting kids interested in history, and a big hit with teachers too. @OBrienPress #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks

[Nicola Pierce @NicolaPierce3]

I second @WoodbineBooks choice for Day 2 for #DIKBChallenge23 for #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks - choose an Irish graphic novel, 'Michael Collins: Ireland Rebel's Son' by @mariomcorrigan and illustrated by @anithingartist

[Mario Corrigan @mariomcorrigan]

@Irelandherown Thank you Des - good to see you there. Really enjoyed the night. Curragh are a great group and Suncroft hall is superb - my first time in it.

@EugenesDIYDen @MissEllieN @francisbrennanb The building to the right is Lord Edward guesthouse but not sure what condition the interior of the Tower is - it was fairly dilapidated when I was in it last but that was before the works were done to the outside. Might be worth messaging the Silken Thomas

@bowbrick @Valancourt_B Came back to Ireland Separated from husband around 1970 who went back to England - probably divorced though she seemed unsure. She was 43 in May 1980 which means she was born around 1936-7 in Donegal.

@Valancourt_B Nice article by Eleanor Petley Evening Press 21 May 1980
