We were lucky to have Jan Carson on the first Irish Itinerary of 2025! She did some excellent events in Saarbrücken, Wuppertal, Stuttgart and Tübingen.
Many thanks to all the local organisers of this German Itinerary and to Culture Ireland for their support.
I'm developing a creative anthology related to my research. Please share this Call for Submissions widely with anyone you think might be interested!
Something mythic this way comes ...

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...
