The Centaur of Attention

From Rome, to Derry, to London - via everywhere in-between. If this centaur could speak, we're sure it would tell some tales. Fortunately for us, Ken McCormack knows his story inside out.
The Monaghan's of Newtownhamilton

In 1898, the untimely death of John and Margaret Monaghan from Newtownhamilton left their four young children scattered all over the place. This week, William Monaghan - John and Margaret's great grandson - tells us the fascinating story of a family now reunited.Â
