Waterford County Museum are delighted to
welcome back to the Museum, Ardmore’s Tommy Mooney for this our final talk for
2022.The title of Tommy’s talk clearly illustrates the profile of a man who was willing and indeed died for what he believed in. Brugha was
willing to lay down his life for his principles. He was certainly a man that
can be called a true hero. And, we sometimes forget his and his family’s
connection with this area. Tommy Mooney, of course is no stranger to
researching and writing about men like Brugha, we can be thankful to him for
such books as ‘Cry of the Curlew’ and ‘The Déise Divided.’ Both which resurrected many local heroes who
we also seem to have forgotten. Tommy’s talk takes place
at the Museum on Friary Street at 7.30pm next Wednesday 23rd
November. As usual all are welcome. Admittance is just €5.
