Re: Donabate and Portrane: A history

I can 100% confirm it is in Newbridge house. I lost my copy and wanted to look something up. I traced it like this (but went round rather than asking on here).

Re: Donabate and Portrane: A history

Is that pader Bates book ?
If so they have it in the shop in Newbridge House (the one in the same building as the cafe).
Go ask there. If they do not have it in the shop, they have more in storage int he historical society building.

Re: Donabate CoderDojo

We have been doing this in the community centre for about 5 years now. Maybe we need a bigger advertising budget :lol: If you know anyone who would like to learn then sign them up (any level from complete starter to advanced) And if you would like to help then talk to me. You do not need to be a pro...
