This year’s Ireland’s Edge is dedicated to Manchán Magan — a light-bringer, keeper of the flame, philosopher, druid, scholar, wild rover and Gael. His contribution to Irish life, culture, and language is beyond measure. We owe him so much, and we will miss him deeply.

Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Throughout the weekend, we will explore how storytelling and dialogue can draw us closer, helping us recognise our shared humanity and the fragile threads that connect us, and reminding us that in welcoming difference, we replenish the wellspring of our collective imagination.

Over two days, we will explore themes of humanity, art and place. We will hear from voices pursuing justice and peace in Palestine, from those reflecting on the profound implications of the AI boom and from experts offering timely perspectives on climate change, housing, and gentrification.

Hosted by Christopher Kissane, this panel will ask how can we prepare our coasts for the challenges of the next decades? And how can science support sustainable communities?
