In their series 'protest songs', Nike talks about the various ways in which Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile has been used as a protest - from the Jacobites to the feminists to our own Celtic students via Pádraig Mac Piarais. 2/2

I am so excited that this is live! @naoicea.bsky.social ’s article for which Dr. Katie Albers-Morris and I did the image processing and tech write up for is now live!
