A Connacht Gathering

Sunday, 2 August

Forty years ago this summer, the great Irish writer Desmond Fennell travelled across Connacht. His reflections about the province were to be expressed in his subsequent book, ‘A Connacht Journey,’ which asked questions about where Connacht and Ireland were going.

On August 2nd, ‘A Connacht Gathering’ will be taking place in the Abbey Hotel in Roscommon town. This will be an Irish Summer School with a difference, featuring speeches, interviews and interactive discussion panels on the key questions facing Ireland: political, cultural, social and economic.

We will be bringing together top-speakers like Dr. Eoin Lenihan, Niall Boylan, Stella O’Malley, Larissa Nolan, Cormac Lucey, Paddy Cullivan, Deputy Ken O’Flynn, Niamh Uí Bhriain, Fr. Brendan Kilcoyne, David Quinn and many more besides. Just as importantly, ‘A Connacht Gathering’ will be an opportunity to form new friendships and to renew old ones, including during an evening of live (and lively) entertainment.

Abbey Hotel, Galway Road, Roscommon Town, F42 F992.
