A history of Ireland in 100 words lamp post banner campaign

Spot us on the citywide banners!

We have taken to the streets with A history of Ireland in 100 words in partnership with Dublin City Council. The authors have chosen ten words for you to spot on the citywide banners during Seachtain na Gaeilge (1-17 March). Share your favourite word on Twitter using #RIA100words and we’ll put you in our draw for a free goodie bag! And keep an eye on our website, where we'll publish the full entry for each word as it appears in the book.
