Last time, we spoke about physical exercise for puppies, and how moderation was key. Anyone with a puppy will know however, that they can be really full of beans! So what can you do if your puppy still has lots of energy to burn after they’ve done their quota of physical exercise?

The public consultation phase of our Part 8 Application will launch on Thursday 21st. This will be publicly advertised in the Irish Independent and on Dublin City Libraries website and social media channels.

In the last lock-down series we looked at researching our family history by using the online source, www.irishgenealogy.ie The focus in that series was mainly on finding marriage and birth certificates, however, we also looked at the 1911census to find out more about the family.

On Friday, 4th September 2015, a Dublin City Council plaque commemorating the founding of Shelbourne Football Club was unveiled in Dublin 4.

After a year with no Bohemian Football Club matches in Dalymount Park, and no browsing in Phibsboro library, the library invited Boh's captain, Keith Buckley,  and Poet in Residence John Cummins, as well as Chief Operating Officer Daniel Lambert into the library to discuss all things football and poetry. 

Last week in an attempt to find James McCormack’s birth certificate I looked at the church records for marriages in St. Mary, Pro-Cathedral, Dublin, October 1903.

On the afternoon of Friday, 3rd May 2019, an official Dublin City Council commemorative plaque unveiling took place at the site of Séamus Ennis’s boyhood home in Finglas, which was demolished during the 1960s. 

Last week we looked at the death certificate for James McCormack and discovered that there was a discrepancy in his age. His death certificate stated that he was forty years of age in 1916 whereas five years earlier the 1911 census records his age as thirty years, which means that he would have been thirty five at the time of his death.
