These printed items - originally produced to be almost as quickly thrown away - are invaluable as a means of gaining snapshots of different periods in Ireland's social, political, economic and cultural history. Though transient items, they're sometimes very beautiful to look at, occasionally fascinating, and often unintentionally funny...

    This doesn’t seem correct

    “The Longford Eye
    Margaret Thompson Hi Margaret, We did a little further research following your question and discovered it concerned an O'Doherty family from Athboy, County Meath sometime in the late summer of 1935.”
