📚 We recently celebrated the launch of ‘Dánfhocail: Irish epigrams in verse’ in both Cork and Belfast. In Cork, Professor Alan Titley MRIA provided a fascinating insight into the “bits and shards and nuggets and k***s and pricks of wisdom” of the old Irish epigrams which are published with accompanying English translations for the first time.

Read an excerpt from Titley’s speech on our blog. Plus, from the Belfast launch, watch a short video featuring co-translators Dr Aidan Doyle and Ken Ó DonnchĂș.
