Part 2 - Neil Bourke, from Birdwatch Ireland, will tell you about the fabulous wildlife along the canal, from Kingfishers to pine martens, otters, and dragonflies – and provide you with a deep insight into the beautiful ecosystem that has developed along the canal over the years. Once your appetite has been whetted, you can sample the delights of the canal at first hand while complying with public health advice and staying safe. To watch Part 1 - Local historian, Paddy Behan, covers the rich history of the canal – its construction and its contribution to industry, commerce and social life -https://youtu.be/wGAQRPx1fV8

Magazine Launch Saor Éire: The Unfinished Revolution - The Struggle for a Socialist Republic-1967-73 by Michael Healy Local historian, Michael Healy, launches his magazine Saor Éire: The Unfinished Revolution - The Struggle for a Socialist Republic-1967-73 on the 3rd June. He has kindly given us a sample from the magazine that focuses on the the raid of the Hibernian Bank in Newbridge 1968. Price: €5.00 The magazine is available to purchase from - Farrell & Nephew, 8 Main Street, Newbridge, Co. Kildare W12 FK28 - Connolly Books, 43, East Essex Street, Dublin. - To order online contact mick.healy1@gmail.com Saor Éire was established in the late 1960s by former members of the Republican Movement and newer young Irish political left activists coming together. As an organisation they claimed to have their roots in the tradition of old Fenianism and the left-wing Republicanism that was prominent in the 1930s. But Saor Éire’s founding was also influenced by the IRA’s lack of military activity and political direction, following the cessation of Operation Harvest (the IRA border campaign of 1956-62). There is an element of truth, the group also had a political relationship with the International Marxist Group (IMG), the British section of the Fourth International (the revolutionary movement founded by Leon Trotsky on the eve of World War 2) and that some SE members belonged to the IMG at different points.
