This Day in Irish History, available wherever books are sold. “Unputdownable, educational, thoroughly enjoyable and historically accurate.” - Joe Duffy

Today marks four years since I first tweeted from this account. Now seems like a good time to take a bit of a step back. There will still be tweets, just not as frequently. A big thank you to all followers, particularly those who bought my book (in paperback later this year).
This Day In Irish History by Padraic Coffey is out now! With one entry for every day of the year, this book marks the anniversaries of momentous events in Irish history: in politics, medicine, music, sport and innovation. @ThisDayIrish

Delighted that my friend Ferdia Lennon's debut novel Glorious Exploits has been chosen as RTÉ's Book of the Week, on top of the praise it's already received from Roddy Doyle and Emma Donoghue. Be sure to pick it up if you like contemporary Irish fiction!

@DaveMcGinnNaas You clearly didn't see some of the replies I received when I posted about this last week.

@Now4NI @Droghedaboy You absolutely are changing the subject. Emily Hand has nothing whatsoever to do with these detainees you keep mentioning.

@Now4NI @Droghedaboy And what does that have to do with Emily Hand? Why mention it under a post about Emily Hand, other than to change the subject?

@Now4NI @Droghedaboy Neither that article, nor the one you shared after it, mentions by name any children held in Israel without charge. Either way, that has nothing to do with Emily Hand, who should be released immediately, unconditionally, by Hamas.

@Droghedaboy I have yet to see what any of this has to do with Emily Hand. I believe she should be released immediately, unconditionally. Do you disagree?

@Droghedaboy Can you please give me an example of one of these children being held without any charges?

@Droghedaboy Are you equating hostages, who committed no crime, and were captured on Oct 7th (some as young as 9 months old) with prisoners being detained on criminal charges? Do you see the two groups as identical and interchangeable?

@BroncoBullfrog_ Please give me an example of one of the children who you say has been kidnapped by Israel, and I will give you my answer. I know that in the case of Emily Hand, she should be released immediately, unconditionally.
