Join us as Sarah McKenna Dunne launches her powerful new book exploring the people of Cavan and surrounding counties who hold “the cure” — an ancient tradition still alive in modern Ireland.For two years, Sarah travelled the region meeting healers, collecting stories, and asking:
🔸 Who are the people with cures?
🔸 How did they get them?
🔸 Why do they continue the practice?
🔸 Can these traditions be passed on?
Featuring artwork by Margaret McKenna and photography by Lorraine Teevan, this book offers a rare insight into a disappearing tradition.
