Spike Island - Released Feb 2008

Posted in News by Administrator on the February 14th, 2008

Spike Island

Michael Martin

ISBN: 9781845889104

Price: €14.99 

After fourteen centuries of military and ecclesiastical heritage, 2005 saw the then-Justice Minister Michael McDowell put in place proposals to turn Spike Island into Ireland’s ‘Alcatraz’, through the construction of a €70 million super-prison.

In 2007, following extensive campaigning, these plans were dropped, and the new plans for the the island to be preserved as a world heritage site put in place. The chairman of Cobh Tourism at the time was Michael Martin, the author of this work, the story of our very own ‘Devil’s Island’.

On 30 January this year, RTE’s Tom MacSweeney officially launched Spike Island on board the LE Roisin, at the Deep Water Quay in Cobh. It is available in all good bookshops.

Before Sunday: The Life Stories of the Bloody Sunday Victims
by Jennifer Faus
Edition: Paperback
Price: €14.99

On 30 January 1972 the British Army deployed the 1st Parachute Regiment to conduct an arrest operation in Derry during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march. Twenty-six civil rights’ protestors were shot, fourteen died, and the day has since been known as Bloody Sunday. Before Sunday is a touching portrait of the victims’ lives before that tragic day. We are introduced to a photographer, a golfer, a student, a prankster, and ten other boys and men who we learn are very much like our own fathers, sons, brothers, and friends.

 Jennifer Faus has done something extraordinary and poignant. Reaching into the heart of this violent and controversial event, she allows us to hear, as if for the first time, the innocent voices of those who died and those who were left behind.
Paul Greengrass: Director, Bloody Sunday, Bourne Supremacy, United 93
