Although Lisacul has been a settlement since at least the Iron Age, there isn’t much in the way of written history until the 1901 and 1911 census, probably because few people in the area had the time or the inclination to write down what was happening other than in letters to be sent to relatives and friends abroad.
In 2013, Lisacul produced The Gathering, a book comparing the Lisacul of 2013 to that of 1913, together with articles on subjects as diverse as dance halls, notable inhabitants and the handball alley. There is also a book about the School Reunion which brought together past pupils from the primary schools of Lisacul.
We have twenty-four years of Christmas Newsletters, from 1987 to 2010, which together give an annual update on what was happening in the village over time.
We also put together a 365 project to record a year in the life of Lisacul and a Wikipedia page, to tell the world about us.
For day to day information, we have our Facebook page, Lisacul Today, we’re on Twitter as @LisaculResource and we now publish the Parish Newsletter once it has been circulated after Mass.
