PS maybe we could do with an events thread for the History and Heritage forum ?

Picked up a copy this evening at the launch and it is a good read so far. A bigger crowd than expected showed up. Cathal Brugha's grandson (also called Cathal Brugha) who assisted with the book was there, also in the crowd was Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD.

I found out on short notice too. I think we need an events thread stuck at the top of the forum.
