Bergin, first director of the School of Celtic Studies, and one of the outstanding Irish scholars of his generation.

They should be present to attend School lectures and seminars and contribute to its publishing programme. At a date no later than their third year fellows will be required to conduct a seminar series on a topic connected with their research, in accordance with the established practice of the School.
