How it works is I have a website, I list upcoming Irish cons on it.
To make it on the list you have to
A: Tell me! Particularly if you're new or returning after a few years hiatus.
B: Have a confirmed venue
This last is why some of the older, reasonably reliable conventions aren't auto listed

Check out this #Octobook book review of Archibald Lox - The Missing Princess by Darren Shan. A portal fantasy you can get lost in. Fans of Shan should definitely give these books a read.

✨ Ceol Ref Sheet ✨

The more sensible of the two (as much as a Púca can be), Ceol has been described as an 'elusive beast, very demure'. When asked about her whereabouts during the 1916 rising, the most she would tell us is that she was 'girlbossing' and refused to elaborate

🎨 Zev
An artists reference sheet for the Púca cahracter Ceol, defining her pronouns as she/her, providing her colour scheme, and indicating her preferred form is a wolf elk hybrid

Ready for the “Best of Ireland”? This #Dublin2029 t-shirt is well-prepared to visit its homeland and we can’t wait to welcome it back. Are you already rocking one? Send us a photo - we’d love to see it! (1/2)
A photo a man standing in a library in front of some book shelves and wearing dark green Dublin2029 tshirt. He is smiling and looking at a book in his hand, which is titled “Best of Ireland”. He is a tall man with long loose brown hair, glasses, and a short grey beard. He is wearing a green short-sleeved tshirt with the Dublin2029 logo. The logo shows a figure poised to step into a new world in a large D written in old celtic style script. The blue and green reflects both Dublin's and Ireland's colours. Underneath the bid logo text is blue text reading "Dublin 2029, our crossroads lit by stories and stars".
