The Latin Lives of St Laurence of Dublin
The four Latin ‘lives’ of St Laurence O’Toole (with ancillary material) were critically edited for a doctoral thesis by Maurice Roche in 1981. Sadly Dr Roche died in an accident in 2003. The thesis went ‘missing’ but photographs of it were made available to Mary Kelly and from these Charles Doherty and Mary produced this book. Contact was made with Dr Roche’s relatives who were happy to see his work in print. It was a two volume thesis (now reduced to one).

It was an attempt to solve the apparently intractable Irish Question. This book, originally published in 1970, describes the debates which took place.
