The south Wicklow community of Ballinglen celebrated the lives of the Lacey Brothers, who died in the 1798 Irish rebellion, by marking the 25th anniversary of the installation of a memorial seat on Ballinglen Bridge in their honour.
A new booklet has been published exploring the history of Preban Cemetery in Annacurra.
'Preban Graveyard: Learning through our heritage' is the culmination of a project undertaken by the community in Annacurra to tell the story of the graveyard. The book looks at the rich and diverse history of Preban Cemetery.
It also includes the records of all the burials recorded by the Preban Graveyard Committee during their research and photos of the headstones.
This booklet contains the inscriptions of 144 graves and names of 327 people who are buried at Preban along with a map of each grave.
The information is likely to be of great interest to anyone researching their family history or who is interested in learning more about the rich heritage of County Wicklow.

safety laws in this country, especially in the wake of newtown and aurora, that's not a particular pessimistic read on what we're going to get. i do think it's probably worth going into the assault weapons ban and there's a lot of talk about how effective or ineffective it was. i mean, one of the -- we sort of went back into the archives as we are want to do on this show, and if you kind of look at the holes in the assault weapons ban, it was sort of -- and the fact that it was only enacted for ten years, it was almost guaranteed not to fail, but not to be that effective. the justice department review concluded the banned exemption of millions of preban assault weapons and large capacity magazines insured that the affects of the law would occur only gradually. it expired in 2004, so we'll never really know. that almost -- it seems like that's insured its demise even now when we're talking about it again. it's sort of this going back to this old chestnut that it didn't work then, so how could it now? >> absolutely. i think also the political support for it is just not there at the same level that it is for background checks or universal background checks.
