It's 2 years since this brilliant book was released! The Forgettables: Remarkable Irish People [and Animals] youโve Never Heard! @MylesDungan1 has explained complicated history really well! Art by @AlanDunneDraws. 10/10! Still a perfect Christmas present from @Gill_Books! ๐๐

I love what @AlanDunneDraws can do with his amazing drawings. He's gone and done an animation for our new book 'The Forgettables' from @Gill_Books. Great fun from Alice Kyteler's cackle to Paddy the Pigeon's plumage. And watch out for the prank!
Today, July 1st, marks the anniversary of the Battle of the #Somme in 1916. #Irish soldiers suffered heavy losses throughout it all (36th, 16th & 10th divisions). Read more about it all in The Great Irish History Book written by @MylesDungan1 & illustrated by me! @gillbooks๐

St. Patrickโs Day celebrates Irelandโs heritage and culture. ๐ฎ๐ช also has a public holiday to celebrate women, #StBrigidsDay. @IrishEmbJapan worked with @AlanDunneDraws to create a graphic short of her story.

I've received 4 of these HUGE @Gill_Books Irish history books now! 27.94 x 40.64 cm is SO cool! I will be tweeting on them more at a later date. For now, let me say if you have a 8-12 year old who likes non-fiction, buy them for them! They are fantastic & gorgeous! 10/10๐ซ

#OnThisDay 1974: children's classic Bagpuss first aired on BBC One.
Created by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate, it ran for just 13 episodes, but remains a cult programme for millions.
In 2005, both men reminisced about how they made the show.

Given the amount of interest a tweet showing a photo of an empty cycle lane got, I thought it's a good time to bust out this one again.
Cycle lanes and footpath don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently.

I wrote a story called 'Christmas in Tramore' for @IrishTimesMag, partly to remind myself that families are imperfect and we should give each other a break. Check out the fab cover art by @AlanDunneDraws.
Try to be merry & bright! ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ

It's fantastic to see so many kids walking and cycling to school via the new greenway bridge.
I'm looking to be called St Bridget's Bridge.
Build it, and they will walk or cycle.

Richard Martin, nicknamed โHumanity Dickโ, was a Galway man who devoted much of his life to improving the treatment of animals, and was one of the founders of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1824. Read all about him and many more in โThe Forgettablesโ ๐ฎ
