Chaos and ConspiracyGerard Cunningham is the author of 'Chaos and Conspiracy', the story of the McBrearty family and the Morris tribunal. "Chaos and Conspiracy is a gripping account which will be read most avidly in Raphoe. But it should also be obligatory reading for the 14,000 members of the gardai and for those of us tempted to argue that the end justifies the means when it comes to combating crime." Michael Brennan, Irish Independent "This is a brilliant piece of reporting. Readers will already know the bones of this case through newspaper, TV and radio reports. The book to hand, taken in two or three sittings, makes for a more dramatic read than the daily drip-feed of national newspapers." Tom Widger, Sunday Tribune |  |

Turas Cholm Cille Kindle EditionA pocket guide to Turas Cholmcille in Glencolmcille, Co Conegal, revised, updated and made available in ebook form in 2021 to mark the 1500th anniversary of the birth of Colmcille on 7 December 521. According to the Life of Colmcille compiled by Manus O'Donnell in 1532, the saint came to the parish to drive out "demons" which sought refuge there after they were banished from Croagh Patrick in Co Mayo by St Patrick. Whether this tale is true or not, the Turas stones date back to the same early Christian era as Colm Cille, and the pilgrim path also incorporates older elements of the local archaeology such at a 5,000 year old Court Cairn tomb. |  |
