Each year the School arranges for a lecture which is open to the general public and which is intended to present research in Irish and Celtic Studies to a wide audience. This Statutory Lecture is held in alternate years in Trinity College, Dublin and University College, Dublin, and usually takes place as part of the Tionól in November.
Nowadays the Statutory Lectures are recorded and made available on the website, so that they are freely available to audiences around the world. Scroll down to see the latest ones.

Liam Breatnach: Poetry on the edge: marginal verses in mediaeval Irish manuscripts – Download Handout
What do the early Irish texts tell us about the history of music in this country? The main emphasis in this lecture will be on the period between the coming of Christianity in the 5th century and the Anglo-Norman invasion in the late 12th century. Topics to be discussed include the identification of the stringed instruments crot and timpán, the use of wind-instruments in military contexts, the development of bag-pipes, the functions of percussion instruments, and the various styles of singing mentioned in the texts. There will also be an account of the evidence for dancing in early Christian Ireland.
The lecture will conclude with a summary of the role of music in early Irish society, and a discussion of the Church’s attitude towards different types of music, as well as an account of the frequent association between music and the supernatural in early Irish literature.
