🚢 Migration is an integral part of Ireland’s story



Íde B. O’Carroll’s recently completed trilogy has identified, examined and captured the stories that connect Ireland and the USA.

From the voices of women who emigrated, to those who came back, the transnational migrants and those who stayed in Ireland and witnessed three decades of change, Íde is uniquely positioned to examine the evolving relationship between these two nations as an author and social-researcher who has divided her time between two nations.

Her trilogy invites you to discover the human side of migration.

📢 Forthcoming book announcement

It’s been a stellar few days and months for Irish sport.

From golf to football, basketball to darts, our nation continues to punch above its weight on the world stage.

⚽ It was a weekend of hat-tricks. Mack Hansen lit it up with three tries vs Australia but Troy Parrott’s brilliance under pressure with a last-minute hat-trick to seal Ireland’s World Cup playoff spot has lifted and inspired the nation.

The darts scene is buzzing — with Cork’s John “The Joker” O’Shea continuing to inspire.

⛳ In a golf career full of highlights, 2025 may be Rory McIlroy’s most impressive year yet.

🏀 And in basketball, Ireland stunned Bosnia & Herzegovina, led by captain Edel Thornton, with a masterclass win in qualifying.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce the next book in our award-winning Atlas Series: Atlas of Irish Sport, available September 2026.

Sport is central to so many people’s lives and it is an expression of culture that is rooted in place.

Comprehensive in scope and richly illustrated the Atlas will include contributions from Ireland's leading historians and sports writers.

💚 Celebrate the moments, the heroes, and the history—pre-order your copy today.

🏡What makes a house a home?

🫖In western Connemara there is one homemaking practice that evokes a powerful sense of welcome and emotional wellbeing.

Author Meredith Chesson recently visited us here in Cork and told us about her new book Irish Dressers and Delph: Homemaking through time including some of the people who inspired the stories within.

📚 This is the final book in a trilogy exploring Irish women’s lives across decades of transformation both in Ireland and overseas. The book focuses on women who stayed in Ireland during years of immense social, political, economic and cultural change. It joins Models for Movers and Irish Transatlantics under the Attic Press imprint.

In her welcoming remarks Audrey Whitty highlighted the significant role of libraries in making archives of social research available to the public and thanked Íde for choosing to house her research materials for this book at NLI.

The book was launched Gráinne Healy, feminist activist, researcher, author, and former chairwoman of the National Women’s Council of Ireland.

We are deeply saddened to learn about the death of Emeritus Professor of History, Tom Dunne formerly of the School of History, UCC. A few weeks ago, Tom delivered an address on the history of the Press at our Through the Years exhibition launch in UCC Library. We were grateful to such a brilliant scholar, a firm supporter and former leader of the Press, for telling our story.
 
Last year we were honoured to publish his story, The Good Boy – his 2024 memoir. May he rest in peace.
