We were delighted to add a new entry to our Articles section today. The article is called Timothy O’Connor – the Limerick photographer of the Vandeleur Estate Evictions, and when the author, Ed O’Shaughnessy, submitted it we immediately were thinking, ‘that name – Timothy O’Connor – sounds familiar…’ We finally figured it out – this is the same Timothy O’Connor who in 1880 published what is now a very rare book which is in the library collection. This book is not even in the National Library collection, nor are there any references to it on the Internet! So, we decided that, as well as Ed’s very interesting article, it was now an appropriate time to add O’Connor’s book, A Visit to Knock to the online library. Timothy O’Connor visited Knock during the year following the reported Marian apparitions, and left to posterity this account of his impressions.
