It was a tremendous honour to give a keynote on The Legacy of the Irish Scholar Dicuil at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies in Bonn last Wednesday. I can’t thank @elenaparina.bsky.social and her team enough for the invitation, welcome, and the perfect organisation of the conference!

We are very proud of a strong presence of Galway employees and alumni at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies, which was a fantastic event and marvellously organised by @elenaparina.bsky.social and her great team in Bonn on behalf of the Societas Celtologica Europaea:

Still struggling to find coherent words to report about the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies - meanwhile only endless gratitude to the team, thankfulness to all the colleagues who came and made it such a wonderful new milestone in the history of Celtic Studies in Bonn!

My review of Patrick Gleeson's tremendous book 'Landscapes of Kingship in Early Medieval Ireland AD 400-1150' (IrishTimes 23/08/25). Very hard to do it proper justice in 800 words, but already it has led me to redesign my medieval Irish lecture modules @historyatgalway.bsky.social #medievalireland.
