Hello Martin

            I haven't been looking at this forum for ages and don't know if you're still in the loop but, if so, I'm delighted to be able to finally answer your query to the effect that my latest book on the navvies, 'McAlpine's Men: Irish Stories from the Sites', is finally to hand.

Its a collection of first-hand accounts, across the whole spectrum of experience, collected over the past decade. The time frame is 1940's - 1980's.

A percentage of the profits will go to the Irreland fund of Greast Britain's 'Forgotten Irish' Campaign which helps, amongst others, many former construction workers down on their luck.

I won't get into price etc. here so as not to abuse the forum but full details can be had from me at ultan.cowley@gmail.com

Do spread the word!

Best

Ultan
