National Biodiversity week and a charity book sale in Roscrea

National Biodiversity Week runs from May 22nd to 29th and there are plans to mark the initiative in Roscrea.

To honour it, in association with Crann, the national tree organisation, Roscrea’s George Cunningham is having a display and sale of books on the environment in Dimmas Books in the Vincent’s SVP shop on Church Street in Roscrea.

The famed Roscrea historian, bibliophile and author will also visit some schools in the area with potted trees and books for the 6th classes.

Dimmas Books Sale

Dimmas Books are holding a massive bargain sale on Saturday 30th May from 11 am to 2pm in the SVP shop in Church Street Roscrea.

All the usual stock will be offered at a discount of 50%. Also why not bring your own box, fill it as you like and get a bargain price for the lot. Dimma is open to any offers!

There will also be a table of local publications donated by John Feehan and George Cunningham; these will include John's Farming in Ireland, The Grasses of Ireland; his atlases and many others.

George C's duplicates will include many pamphlets and local books long out of print - a wonderful opportunity to acquire something special.

Saturday 30th May Dimma awaits you in Church Street Roscrea just down from his famous monastery.
