Welcome
The Irish Group was the first Interest Group to be formed by WAGS, probably because at the time, most members seemed to have at least some Irish connection.
The first meeting was held on 10th October 1981 under the guidance of Alan Campbell. Sometime later George Cargeeg took over the reins but in 1991 when ill health caught up with him, he handed them over to Mike Logan who remained convenor for almost ten years, Ray Hartnett followed.
In the early years the group had very few books and those they did have were on loan from private members. The society has expanded rapidly and Irish research material has become more readily available in some areas. Our biggest joy was when the Griffith's Valuation on fiche was purchased. We are always on the look out for any new research books or fiche that will help our members.
