Kilmaine Book Launch

Book Launch and Talk

Come and join us at The Irish History Bookshop at 8pm on Friday 20 October for the launch of a new book about the history of Kilmaine by Gerry Keane. Gerry will talk about his book and answer questions from the audience.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book.

More about the book

Until now, the story of who owned the land of Kilmaine, who farmed it and how ownership was restored to the land of Kilmaine has not been told. In this book, Gerry Keane traces land ownership and occupancy through the generations from the 1640’s to the early twentieth century.

Copies of the book may be purchased here
