Choosing a name for a child is an important decision for every parent. 'Irish Names for Children' is a handy pocket reference book that provides plenty of information on the origin and meaning of many Irish names. Recently, there has been a growth in popularity in names that have their roots in the Irish language. This book, which has been enlarged and revised by Gerald Slevin, the former Chief Herald, lists names of ancient Celtic origin with later introductions and reformed Irish spelling. It also includes names associated with particular Irish families and regions, a complete calendar of Irish saints, and an easy-reference English-Irish name index.

Cork and Kerry are home to some of Ireland's most popular travel destinations 

This is the most south westerly region of Ireland with rugged peninsulas, clean beaches, towering mountains and some of Ireland's most famous landmarks.
The counties of Cork and Kerry , famous rivals in sport, are equally famous for their natural beauty and hospitality. Historically the geographical area now comprised of Counties Cork and Kerry was known as Ivernia. The region is historically and culturally important and still has a number of Gaeltacht areas where Irish is the primary spoken language. Visits to islands such as the Blaskets, Garnish and Cape Clear are particular treats while the Ring of Kerry and Killarney town remain firm favourites year after year with both locals and tourists alike.

A brand new collection of photographs from one of Ireland's most renowned photographers. Based in Tralee, Co. Kerry, Michael Diggin has an international reputation as a photographer of the Irish countryside and of its landscapes. This book concentrates on the beauties of Ireland rather than on the built environment. Page after page brings a succession of beautiful landscapes: rolling countryside, steep cliffs, off-shore islands, the lush countryside of the Golden Vale and of the wonderful mountain ranges around the coast. The book covers the entire island of Ireland: there are photographs from every one of the thirty-two counties - all designed and laid out to illustrate the variety, splendor and beauty of the Irish landscape.

The Complete Guide to Ireland's Birds was published in 1993 and quickly established itself as the best and most comprehensive such guide ever produced. It was a best seller. What made it unique was that it covered all species recorded in Ireland to that date, and did so using an original layout including birds in typical poses as well as standard identification plates. It included the most up to date distribution maps and full descriptions of males, females, immatures, voice, diet and preferred habitat of 312 species. It also had brief descriptions of over 100 rare species. All these features are retained in the new edition. The principal changes concern the Irish bird population itself. Some species, such as the Corn Bunting, have become extinct while others, such as the Little Egret, are now well established. There have been falls in both Skylark and Lapwing populations and distribution while Corncrakes are re-establishing a breeding population in areas where they have been extinct for almost forty years. In addition, many species have been seen in Ireland for the first time since 1993. The new edition of the Complete Guide reflects these additional species, thus maintaining its coverage of all species recorded in Ireland to date. This completely updated edition will confirm Dempsey and O'Clery's work as the outstanding guide to Irish birds. The Complete Guide to Ireland's Birds has just won a WorldTwitch Book Award for Best Bird Book - Europe.
