Carmel and George Cunningham with the Liam MacCarthy cup and the book. From a lifelong fear of bulls Carmel now admires them, on paper at least
Dovea Heritage published in early September ‘From Landlords to Genetics’ compiled and edited by Dr George Cunningham and assisted by some of Tipperary’s leading scholars. It is one of the most comprehensive books ever published on a Tipperary estate. A4 in size, it is beautifully produced by Walsh Printers, Roscrea with over 660 illustrations.
To honour the publication, The Tipperary Star in association with Dovea Heritage are running a quiz of some twenty questions on local study in the Dovea area and are awarding valuable book prizes.
How to enter
Pick up a copy of this week's Tipperary Star and turn to page 15. Answer the questions and send entries to George Cunningham c/o Dovea Heritage, Dovea, Thurles, info@doveagenetics.ie by 5.00pm Friday, October 11, 2019; winners will be announced in the Tipperary Star and answers will be carried in a later edition.
The first three answer sheets drawn from the list of correct answers will receive the following prizes:
1st prize box of new books to the value of €200 including a copy of ‘From Landlords to Genetics’ (couriered anywhere in Ireland or picked up from Dovea)
