Primary School Irish Books Bog Liom Series

Anybody remember this series? I used it at school and still use it in my teaching today. Books were published 1983-1989 by Gill and Macmillan. The series is long out of print now but it's still as good as it ever was. I've put some of my spares up on Adverts.

Pretty sure they were still knocking around (or extensively photocopied by teachers) in the early 1990s

I'm not sure about the others but I definitely had Gluais Liom and that would have been around 1993 if not later.

My cousin was older than me and passed down some books when I needed them. He use to write the English in pencil above a lot of the text which I was delighted about

Most likely in print and for sale until the 1999 revised Primary School Curriculum kicked in for Gaeilge. I used them at school between 1988 and 1995

I had that one Tar Liom. Late 80's ish. Bringing back memories, that comic strip type thing with yer man drink driving.

Such a shame they were thrown out, the standard of them was quite good.
