Thanks to Leitrim County Council for organising a visit to the senior classes recently form David Swift, following the launch of the O’Rourke’s of Leitrim Education Pack. The O’Rourke’s were one of the leading dynasties of medieval Ireland. From early medieval times until the early 1600’s, they ruled over the Kingdom of Breifne. They bore witness to and played an important role in instigating some of the key changes that defined the development of the island of Ireland. Thanks so much to David for a very engaging, interactive and informative talk.
