I think all the fighting story books were reissued recently. Limerick Dublin Cork and Kerry. It’s an honour for a county to have a fighting story book.
As regards collectibles, how much were you thinking of spending?
here’s a great account of the fighting in Kilkenny

Kilkenny were so bad Ernie O’Malley had to be sent down to try and put a bit of gumption into them. Of course the local brigade bollixed this up and this led to his capture at Inistioge.

That is a lovely walnut top there.
Not much, under 100 definitely. He’s only a young lad so there’s a fair chance it could end of broken or lost.
We had one at my mothers as well. My brother took it, the bollocks, and wont return it. That leads to a row every now and again.
Twas a struggle alright

Getting hold of seditious ballads and their writer was a favourite past time of the RIC in their formative years…sometimes lads didn’t even recall writing these ballads but since the material was found in their home they had to have penned it …

My in-laws wouldn’t live a million miles from Meaghers of Annfield where Sean Hogan was arrested. Theres a little memorial plague on the the bridge there.
+1. The uncle reckoned that Sean Senior was only 19 when the fighting kicked off and suffered PTSD thereafter. Reckoned that his marriage broke down because of the PTSD.
