It is frequently claimed that local history can get to the heart of many issues debated in contemporary Ireland.This book, recording and commemorating a gathering of local historians in Monaghan in 2001, demonstrates its ability to do so. It was organised by the Ulster Local History Trust in association with the Heritage Council of Ireland and drew together participants from right across the debateable land of Ireland’s border counties.
