Shining a light on the women of Ennis Cumann na mBan

AN historian who wishes to “bring out of the shadows the stories of the extraordinary women of Ennis who played their part in creating an independent Ireland” in a new book is appealing to the public for their help.
Dr Martin Walsh is currently researching and writing a book on the women of Ennis Cumann na mBan and their lives before, during and after the revolutionary period in Clare.
As part of his research he hopes to be able to talk to the relatives of these women to learn more about them, and he is urging readers of the Clare Champion who may be able to help to get in touch.
