CFP Irish Exceptionalism – SOFEIR conference – University of Strasbourg, 26-27 March 2026 – SOFEIR
Ireland has often been held to be somehow exceptional, an island on the edge of Europe whose historical, social and cultural trajectories have at times led it to diverge in surprising ways from both its nearest neighbour, Great Britain, and the wider world. This perception of Irish exceptionalism has long played a role in how the island has been understood both within and beyond its borders.

For Marianne Faithfull, Ireland was where one of the most misunderstood women in music could make sense of her life
Ireland also gave the singer a first hit for nearly a decade, after ‘a deejay by the name of Patrick Kenny started to play it’

Remains found in Belgium may belong to war hero Sarsfield
There are hopes that human remains found at the site of an ancient church in Belgium could be those of Irish war hero Patrick Sarsfield.
