Ag fiosrú fuath ban i litríocht na Gaeilge
Le cúig bliana anuas, maraíodh 62 bean in Éirinn, 37 ó dheas agus 25 ó thuaidh, ach seans mór go bhfuil sé méadaithe ó shin i leith. Is ionann sin agus bean amháin gach mí.

Very grateful to the support of the archivists at @ucdarchives.bsky.social when working on this paper! 🥰
Sorry that we can't attend this. UCDA P48c includes Etienne Beuque correspondence with Dorothy Macardle, Annie and Mary MacSwiney, Florrie O’Donoghue and C.J. Harrington (1920–39).
Looking forward to presenting on Étiennette Beuque in UCD tomorrow. This research emerges from the IMAGIN_IRL project on the reception of the Irish revolution in France @clairedubois.bsky.social.
