In Plain Sight is an exhibition that started in the historical archives. It began as a series of stories hidden in medical records, coroners’ reports, witness statements, jury verdicts, newspaper clippings and incriminating letters from lovers and abortion providers. 🧵

Looking forward to tonight's launch of 'Knowth' published by Royal Irish Academy .

It's been eleven years since Seamus Heaney's death and that's a good enough reason for me to recount how I heard the news. I was walking past a taxi rank in Dublin and the cab drivers were out of their cabs talking about him. I can't imagine a better tribute to a poet.

The fabulous editors and contributors are proofing this wonderful collection this week. I'm so looking forward to it being out in the world for anyone interested in family history. One of the culminations of the important @InheritingtheFamily project.

I strongly recommend this exhibition - I admit that some aspects of Irish history put my blood pressure up, but it's also heartening to see how much progress Ireland has made.
