The Farm by Lough Gur written by Mary Carberry was re-published in 2010 following much local interest. The sub-title of the book is The Story of Mary Fogarty.
This true story is based on the life of Sissy Fogarty (née O’Brien) who lived on the farm at Lough Gur in the mid 19th century. A fascinating account of ordinary domestic life in County Limerick in post Famine Ireland.
Their world has rarely been evoked so sensitively as in this beguiling and most engaging narrative.
