The book features images predominantly drawn from the year 2000 onwards, right up to this year, so even younger readers will recognise many of the faces.

The book is available to buy in O’Mahony’s Bookshop on Castle Street, Polymaths, Kerry Bookshop, Paudie Commane’s Bookshop, Cleary’s Photography on Russell Street and the Quality Framing Company on Matt Talbot Road. Scroll down for some images from the book…
