There has been a lot of interest following our article on Tadhg Barry and the piece on him in today’s Irish Times  (see http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/locked-out-of-history-1.1473824)

Among those who contacted our committee was Tadhg Barry Galvin, a grand-nephew of Tadhg Barry now living in England.
