Savagely Brilliant: The Cartoons of Ernest KavanaghErnest Kavanagh was shot dead outside Liberty Hall on 25 April 1916, (most likely by a British sniper stationed at the nearby Custom House). His death brought an end the career of an important yet relatively unknown Dublin cartoonist who was one of the many civilians caught in the crossfire of the Easter Rising. James Curry reflects on Kavanagh’s artistic legacy and discusses the newspaper illustrations which ‘E.K.’ left behind.

 Editorial: Should We Pay?We’re now on our third issue here at Scoláire Staire. The support and enthusiasm for the project has kept us going and spurred us on to come up with more ideas for history teaching, learning and research. The head spinning rate at which technology is advancing is only matched by the speed at which barriers to access are falling away. You no longer need to be wealthy and/or technically minded to access some of the great software and products that will be the future. Granted, some of the newer, mind-blowing products, that will come on the market soon will be out of reach for a lot of people, but it is now so simple and affordable to create an ebook or ejournal and market that product to a targeted group.
