Hiberno-English Lecture Series

[Marion Gunn]

Thanks, Elizabeth.

Spreading the news below further via GAELIC-L at LISTSERV.HEANET.IE,  
with an apology for not doing so earlier, plus a recommendation that  
all in a position to attend do so, especially as I see some people  
who are friends of mine and with whom I have had occasion to share  
podiums and/or projects listed - for example, Karen Corrigan and John  
Kirk, not to mention Terry Dolan whose path happened to cross mine in  
UCD Common Room last night, on my return from Merriman's Winter  
School 2007 in Westport.

All praise due to Carolina.Amador at ucd.ie, for putting so much work  
into organizing such an amazing series on the fringes where the  
English and Irish languages meet to their mutual advantage. It is  
perhaps worth adding two obvious comments: (a) that many aspects of  
Irish folklore survive now mostly in English, in which guise some  
even crossed the Atlantic and (b) that such aspects may sometimes now  
be studied in depth only by those with a good grasp of Hiberno- 
English, as well as Irish.
