Is that it? Isn't there more? It's a fascinating story and I want to read more! :) New subject: Some of you may recall that I asked this list some months ago about where to purchase the book "Abbeyleix, Life, Lore & Legend" by Kevin P. O'Brien. Well, I finally located Mr. O'Brien and he sold me his book (at a very reasonable price, I might add! :). It is a wonderful, interesting history of the Heritage Town of Abbeyleix. I highly recommend it to everyone. You may contact Mr. O'Brien at this email address: mailto:kpjob@iol.ie Or, you may write to him at: Franamanagh Books, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois, Rep. of Ireland. Tom
