About: “Dhá Chích Dhanann” was one of the pen-names used by Jeremiah Moynihan (Diarmuid Ó Muimhneacháin). He lived from 1866 to 1934 and served in the Royal Irish Constabularly between 1890 and 1920. He was born in the parish of Ballyvourney in Cork into a family of well-known Irish poets. He retained this interest throughout his life and published pieces in various Irish-language publications. This book is a selection of his poetry and ballads and also contains a 12-page introductory essay and full-page photograph. The subject matter of his verse is Ireland, Irish history and culture, Irish patriots and Irish places including some West Wicklow locations. After retiring he continued his love of Irish culture by teaching classes in the West Dublin area. He is buried in Baltinglass Cemetery.

About: This book provides a history of the preparatory system for student teachers between the years 1926-1961. Prospective students were taught through the Irish Language at seven residential colleges and the Government hoped that this would ensure that the Irish Language became embedded in the schools where these teachers would subsequently work. Approximately one-third of the book is given over to a case study of Coláiste Moibhí, the Protestant college. During the period 1952-1995, the principalship of this college was held by educators from West Wicklow.
