The School of Celtic Studies is dedicated to the study of Irish and the other Celtic languages, both written and spoken, throughout their history, as well as related areas of cultural, social and legal history. Employing both academic staff and post-doctoral scholars, we publish books and other online resources, issue our journal Celtica, and host events such as our annual conference, Tionól.
We also host important online resources in our field.
Monasticon Hibernicum, a database of early Christian ecclesiastical settlements in

The Bardic Poetry Database, by Dr Katharine Simms of the Department of History, Trinity College Dublin.
Both women & men were patrons of bardic poetry. Caitilín wife of David Roche was so generous she couldn’t even joke about refusing a master-poet!
No wonder the poets compared her to Emer and Mór Mhumhan. 1/3

Bardic poems reveal a great deal about the interior of medieval houses. In the 15th century Seifín Mór describes the hunting scenes on the walls of Mac Mahon’s house at Inishkeen. #lovebardicpoetry #DIASdiscovers bardic.celt.dias.ie/displayPoem.ph…
