In breaking news, the Society has launched the proceedings of our 25th Annual Seminar, organised with @ucc.ie, which looked at “Sgéalta Uí Chathasaigh, Mayo Stories Told by Thomas Casey” collected, edited and translated by Douglas Hyde (Vol. 36 Main Series 1939).

Join us online for this year’s Breandán Ó Buachalla Lecture, organised with the support of @nlireland.bsky.social. The lecture, “The harp and the harper in Classical Irish Poetry” will be given by Dr Deirdre Nic Chárthaigh. Registration now open

The Scriptorium was buzzing this year, delivering two new editions in our main series, Vol 69 On the Faults of Poetry: An Edition of Irish Grammatical Tracts V, and Vol 70 Táin Bó Fliodhaise - The Cattle Raid of Fliodhais. A greater contrast in subject, content and style you could not imagine.

Our annual seminar jointly organised with @ucc.ie is happening this Saturday in the Venice of the North. Full details at irishtextssociety.org/events. This year we’re looking at The Life of Saint Declan of Ardmore.

Plunging headlong into the 21st Century, we are now on Bluesky. You can still follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter @IrishTextsSoc and our website irishtextssociety.org
