I WAS very pleased to speak at the launch in Áras Uí Chonghaile of the latest edition of Desmond Greaves’ wonderful book, ‘Liam Mellows and the Irish Revolution’. Dr Ruan O’Donnell, a Senior Lecturer in History, was instrumental in updating the book. Present also were Anthony and Muriel Coughlan. Anthony is Desmond Greaves’ literary executor. He is owed a debt of gratitude for his lifelong work on many issues, but especially the work of collating Desmond’s writings.
