Following the success of their 2014 edition, Bournea Reaching Out 2015 continues the celebration of Bournea parish’s people, places, and heritage. This beautifully compiled local history book features a wide range of stories, photographs, and poems that bring to life the rich culture of Clonakenny, Couraguneen, and surrounding townlands.
Inside, you’ll find fascinating articles on topics such as The Foile or Ravine, The Histories and Mysteries of Curraguneen, Childhood Memories, and From Ballyhenry to Bawnadrum, along with reflections on the parish’s priests, GAA, ICA, and local schools. It also includes folklore, music, poetry, and stories from near and far - tracing the Bournea connection across Ireland and the wider world.
Compiled by the Bournea Reaching Out heritage group, this second annual publication captures the community spirit, history, and humour of rural Tipperary through the voices of its people.
A must-have keepsake for anyone with roots in Bournea or a love of Irish parish history.
