I thought I had one of the 1984 anniversary books lying around, unfortunately not; it appears to be an expensive book these days.

You can view it by appointment at the Croke Park museum.

Happy hunting.

The author of this blog may help as he references the book many times; here is a one page of this amazingly written piece. I'm fascinated how thrilling Mr Anglim makes a list of chairs and secretaries and treasurers and founding members appear.

There is also the Limerick Leader that may help as according to this article in the Independent, O'Ceallaigh wrote under a pseudonym for the local paper for 40 years.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but I thank you for reminding me of how enthralling the history of the GAA in Limerick really is.

All the Best.
