1934 Penny Catechism

"An old penny Catechism in Irish (Cló Gaelach) published in 1934. An elderly lady gave me this gift before she died because of my interest in collecting items of antiquity. It’s a real treasure! I find it hard to believe, that this was the Irish script I learned in school before the adoption of 'Cló Romhánach” in the mid sixties. It had to be very challenging for children us in junior infants, but we didn’t bat an eye! "
