By the way must make a HUGE thank you to two people and that's Cliodhna Lyons http://www.ztoical.com/ (check out her live journal too she is really bloody talented http://ztoical.livejournal.com/ )who invited us to the Free Comic Book day as well as brought us along to Leeds last week (I think it was Leeds I could be wrong) and Paula Nic Cionnaith with Spraoi who makes posters as gaeilge http://www.spraoi-online.com/aboutus.asp who took our wares to a Gaelscoil conference last weekend. I didn't know it but the lads at Cúpla Focal did take us along too. So thanks to both groups of people as well as the people at Cúpla Focal www.cuplafocal.ie . Without the enthusiam of these people Rírá would not be doing as well as it has done.

Also I went selling the comic at a local school Clarecastle National School where their parents association were raising money for the school itself. We had a great auld success at it and met many a person there with an interest in comics as well as Rírá there was many a nostalgic chat had and tear shed over comics that have long since passed.

In Kilcock too.

Oh and another thing nearly forgot. We are also in Kilcock in County Kildare. I've been busy.

And that really is it for the moment.

In Kilkenny City

Oh and before I forget we are also in the Book Centre in Kilkenny also part of a chain of shops in the south east we are already in the one in Waterford.

So that means we are in 2 Sub City Comics, 1 Forbidden Planet (so far), 2 Book Centres (and possibly another within the week), 3 Easons (yay) and 10 Wise Owl Schoolbooks. Fingers crossed for more chains to take us on the more we are out there the more likely we can survive.

Rírá take on by Wise Owl Schoolbooks chain

Every time I up date this it is of news of where Rírá is available. I know I should be using this blog probably for more creative endeavours but right now I don't have the time. However I am delighted to announce that we have gone with a chain of schoolbook shops on the East coast of Ireland called Wise Owl Schoolbooks. They have a chain of 10 shops in County Louth, County Dublin and County Meath.
