BREE PARISH JOURNALS

Now that many people have had the opportunity to tidy the bookshelves, clear out the cupboards and so on, maybe you have discovered that you don’t have the full set of Bree Parish Journals.

Back copies of most of the Journals at a reduced rate of €5, can be had by contacting breeparishjournal@gmail.com or ringing Clare Doyle at 087 4151350.

Don’t forget if you haven’t yet got No 19, published last January, the last few copies are available in Keeleys of Ballybrennan or Byrnes of Bree.
