Limerick City Library are delighted to host historian and librarian Dr. Sean William Gannon on Tuesday 13th February at 6:30pm who will deliver a fascinating lecture on the experience of the Protestant community in Limerick during Ireland’s revolutionary period.

This follows the publication of a new collection of essays edited by Dr Seán William Gannon, Limerick City and County Library Service, and Dr Brian Hughes, Department of History, Mary Immaculate College. Histories of Protestant Limerick, 1912–1923 comprises ten original essays authored by established and emerging scholars exploring the experience of Limerick’s Protestant communities during the revolutionary period, when they formed less than 5 per cent of the population. There will also be some free copies available on the night to collect.
