Carysfort Press was formed in the summer of 1998. It receives annual funding from the Arts Council.

The directors believe that drama is playing an ever-increasing role in today's society and that enjoyment of the theatre, both professional and amateur, currently plays a central part in Irish culture.

Carysfort Press aims to produce high quality publications which, though written and/or edited by academics, are accessible to a general readership. The organisation would also like to provide a forum for critical thinking in the Arts in Ireland, again keeping the needs and interests of the general public in view.

The company publishes contemporary writing for and about the theatre, and about other performing arts.

The Woodfield Press was founded in 1995 by Terri McDonnell who combines running the press with her role as production manager with a multi-national publishing house in Dublin. She has been in publishing for over twenty five years and has previously worked with Irish University Press, Irish Academic Press and The Round Hall Press.

The Woodfield Press is a Dublin-based publisher of books which conform to academic standards but are accessible in style and written, generally, with the non-academic in mind.

Specialist areas include:

• Biography
• Local History
• Women’s History/Studies
• Social History

Jane Weedle has many years experience as both a letting agent and a landlady.

 

Over the years, she became aware that some landlords were not completely familiar with the procedures and documents required for letting, or had little experience of dealing with tenants.

 

As a landlady herself, she understands the trials and tribulations of letting property, and has written this book to enable property investors navigate the (sometimes) choppy waters of property letting as smoothly as possible.

'It's a bible for would-be landlords'

says Liz O'Kane in the Evening Herald.

'Get Set 2 Let, is a step-by-step guide to the practical and legal side of renting out a property. The aim of this book is to offer readers essential no-nonsense advice for a successful rental, right down to how you should present your home for rent, and other tips that most letting agents don't tell you about. The book is presented in a clear, concise format. It's not glossy or full of pictures so what you're buying does exactly what it says on the tin! Jane covers all aspects of rental and the first chapter, Buy To Let, even has a section on the emotional strength required to be a landlord. Other chapters tackle legal issues, insurance, tax, references, fire safety, tenancy boards and rent reviews.

I particularly enjoyed the sections on property letting etiquette and useful phrases on dealing with tenant's requests. There also advice on asking a tenant to leave, how to vet tenants on the telephone and the differences between wear and tear and actual damage.'

Read the book and also see the soon to be relased short film 'The Coalboat Kids and The Pickaroonie' - Screenplay by Pat Larkin. Produced by Kevin O'Connor, Tamara Anghie and Zanzibar Files for Coalboat Productions.
