Fascinating thing LGBT history; there were so many quares involved in all manner of historic events, but we're not told.

@Betty - No, I'm afraid Brian Lacey's book is sans illustrations (or at least the edition I have is!). Those images were found on the internet, the first two on Wikipedia, and the last through a search on Google. : )

Unfortunately the chapter in his book about Irish lesbians is a little brief. I'll see if I can find out more about the women mentioned above - there is certainly information online about them. (Perhaps Katherine O'Donnell has some published works about them?)

@Ian - Ah, I see, tis a shame. (I wonder if the Library might have info about it still..?)

No – can find very little info on last year – just a link from a UK blog that doesn’t work

Click Here, can you please tell us if those pictures come from Brian Lacey’s book. I would love to learn more about those women!

Thanks for all your info, Ian!

Oh yeah, I saw Cllr Looney's blog breifly yesterday - an interesting proposal!

I wasn't aware that the Library had LGBT History Month last year - oops! Shame it wasn't advertised as well - do you know if is there any info on what events were held in 2009?

In a lot of the publicity South Dublin Co Co are saying it’s the second time this has been organised in Tallaght – it must not have been advertised very well last year. I also came across a leaflet on LGBT books that Tallaght Library recommended as well which I found interesting and refreshing

As a complete aside there are also moves for South Dublin County Council to speak to Dublin Pride about organising events in Tallaght
