Book excerpt: Vikings! They hardly feature in this book about Waterford County's main tribe. Despite their name being shouted by thousands of Waterford people as a rally cry, the Déise tribe have seemingly become a footnote in their own land's history. Having shone some light on the History of St. Patrick's Gateway Centre and Garter Lane Arts Centre though a series of leaflets; Leonard Kearon MSc writes his first book to hopefully shine some light back on the early people of Waterford City and County. From their beginnings and expulsion from Tara to their demise following the Norman Invasion; The Saga of the Déise looks at how the Déise lived, how their patron Saint, Saint Declan converted them from Paganism to Christianity' their travels in Wales as well as what ever happened to the Déise.
