She edited and published the first issue of Candlelight before publishing an illustrated collection of her own verse in 1986.

It was followed by other collections of memoirs, including Quench the Lamp (1990, Brandon), The Village (1992, Brandon), Country Days (1993, Brandon), and An Irish Country Christmas (1994, Brandon). Her novels include The Woman of the House and Across the River (2000, Brandon). Alice’s new book is “And Time Stood Still” – a personal memoir on loss, death and bereavement. She comes to Ennis Book Shop on Saturday (3pm) to sign copies.
Dr. Marek McGann is a Cognitive Psychologist at the Department of Psychology at Mary Immaculate College. The Department of Psychology at Mary Immaculate College is inviting members of the public, as well as past, present and potential future students, to a talk celebrating 10 years of Psychology being offered at MIC. The free talk titled, “Weird! Your Mind is Stranger than You Think” takes place in the Lime Tree Theatre in MIC on Wednesday 14th November at 7.30pm and is suitable for anyone with an interest in Psychology, whether they have studied it before or not. It will also be suitable for secondary school students that might be thinking of studying Psychology.
Mark Hall of Socked.co.uk also joined the show to talk about the colour socks we wear and what it might mean about our personality. He says "Colours are used to help create your persona, your desired image; and wearing a particular colour of socks will influence the way others relate to you. Pick the right colour, and you’re already winning. Pick the wrong colour, and you could just come across in the wrong way."
Kevin McGillicuddy from Clare FM Sport also discussed this weekend’s sporting highlights and told us about tonight’s Sideline View.
