The harmony between great castles and their ornamental grounds is rarely seen in such perfect form as at Johnstown Castle. The gardens and grounds were designed by Daniel Robertson, of Powerscourt fame, assisted by Martin Day. The castle itself was home to two prominent Wexford families, the Esmondes and the Grogans, who have between them occupied the grounds from the fifteenth century right up to 1945. Today the castle is owned by Teagasc, the Agricultural and Food Development Authority, who manage the estate and provide access to the public. This book is the first published history of the castle, and in these pages author, historian and Wexford native Liam Gaul, explores the development of this imposing aspect of Wexford and national heritage from its earliest beginnings.

Op een noodlottige nacht in november 2021 verloor ik mijn zoon, Mathias, aan een tragisch ongeval. Hij werd aangereden terwijl hij samen met zijn hond Baloo op de snelweg liep, volledig gedesoriënteerd door een benzo die hij online had gekocht. Dit boek is mijn neerslag van alles wat er de daaropvolgende twee jaar is gebeurd. Gaande van het hartverscheurende nieuws op die ene bewuste nacht over het moment dat ik mijn kind moest begraven tot het besef nooit meer écht te kunnen genieten van het leven. Met dit boek hoop ik, samen met Mathias, anderen te waarschuwen voor het gevaar van 'research chemicals' die in toegankelijke webshops worden aangeboden. Het laat de verwoestende impact zien van deze ogenschijnlijk onschuldige pillen, die vaak worden gebruikt voor ontspanning of om te slapen. Dit verhaal schrijven brengt me soelaas. Ik eer mijn zoon, door zijn verhaal volledig te vertellen, zo rauw en eerlijk als wij het hebben beleefd. Zo eerlijk was hij en zo eerlijk zullen we hem herinneren. Mathias was niet perfect, maar hij is ook een slachtoffer.

Charting a life spent lost in numbers, is My Life in Receipts a memoir? Too fictionalised. A novella? Too close to the truth. All too recognisable? YES! From chanting times-tables and unlearning old money to discovering the sinking schoolroom 'Maths Feeling' that ends a child's ambitions to be a 'scientist'. From the promissory note of student days to the hard times of the dole giro. From the exuberance of the first wage packet to the pleasures and limits of being able to pay your way… My Life in Receipts plunges you into the world of bags full of threatening letters, intimidating bailiffs, bankruptcy, eviction—even imprisonment. Revealing the lives of people in a perpetual cost of living crisis, and the work of those who help them fight to reclaim their lives, this is a dark, original and tragi-comic exploration of the past, the future, money, debt: whether to flee, whether to fight. There are some victories, some routs—and, along the way, thoughts on electronic train tickets too. Andrew Dutton will make you laugh out loud, scream with righteous anger and, most of all, make you think.
