Dunlavin Diversions

The diversions contained in the book focus mostly on various aspects of the local history of the Dunlavin region. Though local history predominates, there are also articles on Irish national history, contemporary prose, short stories and even a couple of poems. The topics covered are also diverse. They include the onset of the Great Panic in Dunlavin in 1832; the life and times of Countess Constance Markievicz; the commemoration of the R.I.C. in today{u2019}s Ireland; a short story about an eventful transition year class outing; an observation on the cartoons that children watch on television.
