From the the official State book to commemorate Ireland’s first Dáil 100 years ago
The Poet Geoff writes:
I was asked to write the poem to commemorate the first Dáil in Ireland by The Lord Mayor. It was a real joy and a privilege to have been asked to create for the occasion. I hope you enjoy it. I thought you might like this given the day that’s in it.

Thanks Geoff!
