Moment in Time: ‘Abbeyleix, Our Lives, Our Town’ launch in 2008

This week’s Moment in Time looks back to the launch of “Abbeyleix, Our Lives, Our Town”.

The launch took place on December 3 ten short years ago, in the Abbeyleix Heritage House.

It looks like there was a great crowd there to celebrate the launch of a fantastic book.
