A new history book launched before Christmas was well received in a Tipperary town

uest Speaker at the Book Launch was Prof John Ryan with Author Seanie Lonergan

Local man Seanie Lonergan has released a new book titled ‘Cahir History & Stories’ offering readers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and tales of the local area.

Seanie spent many, many hours compiling the research into this book and it contains a vast array of local information, stories and history that makes for a very interesting read with some information shared that has not been known previously.

The launch of the book took place on December 19 in The Hill Bar in Cahir where a fantastic crowd came along to meet Seanie, his wife Margaret and family and buy a book of course!

Guest speaker on the evening was Prof. John Ryan. A wonderful evening was had by all that attended. 350 books were published and released on Christmas week and certainly made for the perfect Christmas present! Consequently the book was sold out in a matter of days.

The book is still available for purchase online however through Amazon UK and Barnes & Noble, priced at €15 per copy if you wish to order one.

This publication is a must-read for anyone interested in the heritage of Cahir, blending historical insights with engaging storytelling. Don’t miss the chance to explore your local history through the eyes of a passionate local author. Well done to Seanie for putting such an amazing effort into the already very popular book. We all wish him the best of luck in the future.
