Did your grandmother have egg money? For most Monaghan farm women, 1910-1950, egg money was often the only money they controlled. It paid for the boots, the schoolbooks and the shop. Get in touch: Eggmoneyinmonaghan@gmail.com A Monaghan County Council Commemorations History Bursary project

Very sorry to hear of the recent death of Don MacRaild. Don was Professor of History at Northumbria, Wellington, Ulster, Roehampton, and London Met, where he was a PVC before his recent retirement. A leading historian of Ireland’s diaspora, he will be much missed by all who knew him.
