Although the length of this year’s School has been reduced, the depth and scope of the programme are undiminished. In addition to lectures and panel discussions, there will be the usual morning symposia in English and in Irish on historical aspects of the theme, poetry readings from contemporary poets during Cúirt an Mheán Lae, walking tours of Ennis and, of course, the perennially popular Club Merriman. The Merriman Schools are renowned for informal contacts, the convivial atmosphere and research visits to local taverns for lively debate and impromptu singing, and this year will be no exception.
