La Touche Legacy

The 2025 La Touche Legacy event will be held in the Greystones Golf Club on Friday September 19th and Saturday 20th. Each year the La Touche Legacy has dealt with a different era in Irish History and this year the presentations will focus on events in The Emerging New Ireland.

The Greystones Archaeological & Historical Society is delighted to be part of this activity. Our new Chairperson, Dr Cormac Moore, will give a talk on Saturday morning on the 1974 Dublin / Monaghan Bombings and later that morning Dr Chris Lawlor will give the Jim Brennan Memorial Lecture, entitled Robert Barton: A Remarkable Revolutionary.

There is a fee of €65 per person to attend all the lectures and the event’s dinner (where Simon Harris TD will be the guest speaker) or €40 per person to attend only the lectures. Booking information is provided in the programme.
