Hi there,
Would it be possible to get a transcript of Dr Matthews talk?
Hi Sharon, the talk she’s going to give is based on her book, so I don’t know if the talk itself is available, but the book certainly will be!
Hi
I am compiling my Leaving Cert history project on the role of Cumann na mBan in the pursuit of Irish independence and would love to get a copy of the book. Not sure if i will be able to make the launch but where would it be possible to purchase a copy of the book?
Hi Sarah,
you should be able to order it through your local bookshop, or you can order it on-line through the book depository.

Hi,
We are interested in making contact with Dr Matthews as she is a past pupil of our school and it’d be great to get her into our school to chat to the girls.
If you have any information, please forward to the details below:

Hello Rose Brown how are you? I visted the old school a few weeks ago and it was a great experience.
