After first emerging in the 1920s, ladies Gaelic football was soon sidelined; breathless women chasing after a football was just too unladylike for the powers that be. Despite this resistance, the sport became a popular novelty act at local carnivals. And when the Ladies GaelicFootball Association (LGFA) was founded in Tipperary in July 1974, fifty years of extraordinary growth were set in motion.
From writing the rule book to a membership of nearly 200,000, the earliest All-Stars to game-changing partnerships, this definitive history captures that unstoppable journey to becoming a national sport and so much more. Lavishly illustrated and drawing from national, club and personal archives, UNLADYLIKE is for the players, the fans, the kit-washers, the sandwich-makers and the supporters alike, and confirms the best is yet to come.

Food, and specifically seafood, has always been a major part of Shine Carlier’s life. She told Donegal Live that cooking had always been a passion for her, ever since the days of Shine’s Takeaway in Killybegs, which was sold in May 2016 after being in operation for 21 years.
“I wanted the cookbook to be a promotion of Irish seafood and the benefits of our seafood, whether you buy it from your local fishmonger or from us,” commented Shine Carlier. “ We are an island nation, and we are quite low consuming of seafood.”

‘A powerful beacon of hope’ Seán RonayneAs a mass Irish rewilding movement takes shape, Eoghan Daltun takes to the high roads and byroads to meet those leading a quiet revolution on the land. Rewilding, already proven in Scotland, is gathering momentum in Ireland. It offers a radical reimagining of our relationship with the natural world, restoring balance to landscapes long dominated by extraction, industrialised farming and monoculture forestry.
By creating space for nature to recover, on land and at sea, it promises renewed biodiversity, resilient ecosystems and a future less defined by depletion. Yet the challenge is stark: Ireland remains one of the most ecologically altered countries in Europe. In Setting the Land Free, Daltun travels across Ireland and beyond to Scotland and Costa Rica, encountering pioneers restoring bogs, reintroducing native species and regenerating forests and coastlines.
Their work is practical, urgent and deeply hopeful, rooted in the belief that repair is still possible. This is not just a chronicle of change, but an inspiring call to imagine differently – and act.

‘Powerful’ Irish Independent‘Superb … authentic and compelling’ Denis Walsh, Irish Times‘One of the greatest warriors this country has ever produced. It’s absolutely terrific.’ Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio One–During a golden era of success for Irish rugby, Peter O’Mahony stood out as the player who most fully embodied the traditional values of the game. Now, in his autobiography, Peter gives us a brilliantly detailed and searching account of the forces that made him who he is: his parents, his beloved Granny Conroy, his club, his school, and the magnificent rugby pedigree of his province.
And he traces his evolution as a player, leader and human being across a decade and a half at the highest levels of the game, under coaches including Declan Kidney, Anthony Foley, Rassie Erasmus, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell. As an international, Peter was central to Ireland’s greatest ever era. His account of the management methods of Schmidt and Farrell provides remarkable insight into how and why rugby teams succeed or fail.

Windharp: Niall MacMonagle’s essential anthology of the last century of Irish poetry. The Easter Rising of 1916 was a foundational moment of the independent Irish state; but while that insurrection continues to divide opinion, there is no disagreement as to the majesty of Yeats’ ‘Easter 1916’, or about the excellence of the Irish poetic tradition over the past century. Windharp is an anthology that follows the twists and turns of Irish history, culture and society through the work of its remarkable standing army of poets.
Edited by Niall MacMonagle, Ireland’s most trusted poetry commentator, Windharp is an accessible and inspiring journey through a century of Irish life.

Cormac Carty lived on the island from 1945 till 1953 and his memories of those simpler times have now been printed posthumously, following Cormac’s death.
The book is almost like a collection of short stories which covers everything from starting school to journeys on a horse from the island to Knocknarea or bringing cattle to the fair.
Normally, bringing cattle would be a straightforward operation but bringing cows from Coney Island to a fair was nothing short of a very dangerous task.”
“Back then it (the island) was completely isolated and Cormac would have gone into Sligo town once a week to do the shopping and selling things he would have picked ‘The Champion’ up and without fail from cover to cover it would be read out and everyone would be listening for all the news.”
