A chairde,
We are delighted to launch the new season of talks which the Old Kilfarboy Society will host this coming season. The first talk, which takes place at 8pm on Tuesday, 9 October 2012, at the Malbay, will be given by Áine Hensey and is titled
' "Little flashes of patriotism, religion and history": The literary legacy of Tomás Ó hAodha'.
Tómas Ó hAodha was a poet, scholar, cartographer and school teacher from Miltown Malbay who was centrally involved in the Irish language revival movement during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and is perhaps best known for his contribution to the landmark wall map of Ireland in the Irish language. Our presenter for the opening talk, Áine Hensey, will be well known to you all as a broadcaster, and Áine is also currently the Cultural Projects Animator at the Áras, Oidhreacht an Chláir, Miltown Malbay. Áine has recently completed a PhD in early modern history at NUIM.
Membership rates for OKS remain the same as previous years: €20 for the entire year, and €5 per individual talk. We look forward to welcoming new and old members.
A full list of the upcoming talks is given below.
