On the far side of the Atlantic in Brazil, the coastal rainforests have been destroyed almost to the same extent as in Ireland.

But this guy Rainer (very apt name!) with my book has been restoring a patch at Itororo Lodge by clearing non-native vegetation.

It CAN be done. 🌎

The excitement is building with a week to go to the Daniel Corkery: The Hidden Ireland-100 Years On conference The Imperial Hotel, Cork City, Ireland

A big THANK YOU to all those who signed up for a ticket. Here is a sneak peak of the conference swag available on the day👇🏻

See you there 🥳

A lively & engaging account of the legendary Irish folk music ensemble Ceoltóirí Chualann, & the first time that readers can see the groundbreaking concepts used by Seán Ó Riada & his band Ceoltóirí Chualann as they changed the course of Irish Music.

Join us for the Official Opening of the 20th Cork World Book Fest on Tuesday 23 April by Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr Kieran McCarthy. That date is very significant to our festival because it's UNESCO World Book Day and it's the day on which both Cervantes and Shakespeare died.

Coming tomorrow on coverthistory.ie
