   Extractions: world over, probably more than any other, from music, art, myths, language, food and literature. For a very long time, with no newspapers, radio or TV, news and events were put to music and relayed by the Bards that travelled the land. A Bard was always welcome, as his music and poetry was entertaining as well as bringing news of what was happening throughout the country side. Prior to the arrival of the sons of King Milesius (Milidh) the mythological tribes in Ireland were said to include the Partholonians , the Nemedians , the Fomorians Fir Bolgs and the Tuatha de Danann . Stories of these people as well as much about the early centuries of Ireland's past have been passed down through time in the form of various annals, the 'Annals of the Four Masters' among the more prominent of these pseudo-historical accounts of ancient Hibernia (Eire, Ireland). Serious scholars have always held that Ireland's history is not truly knowable before about 500 AD. The original waves of Celtic language immigration have been variously placed in a large window from 2000 to 300 BC, with many citing the time around 500BC. The author T.F. O'Rahilly proposes 4 major Celtic invasions of Ireland:

   http://www.visitireland.com/aboutireland/theatre.asp
   
   Extractions: Genealogy William Butler Yates and Isabella Augusta Persse, Lady Gregory founded the Irish Literary Theatre in 1899. Its purpose was to foster Irish poetic drama. However, nationalism grasped the country, and these literary figures began staging native-born plays. This literary endeavor became the National Theatre Society and its home became the Abbey Theatre. Other literary greats who contributed their talents as directors and dramatists included J.M. Synge and A.E. (George Russell). Irish history was the theme of many of the productions in the early years. After World War I there were topics on Northern Ireland, the 1916 Easter Rising and geography of a divided Ireland. Lady Gregory, in her writings, worked at revising the Victorian images of Ireland as a land of 'buffoones', of blarney-speaking, whiskey-swilling, stage Irishmen. The Celtic Revival was a return to the Irish language and mythology. There was a hunger for culture in music and linguistics. The 1890s were a crucial period for the reclamation of cultural Ireland. Stories and plays were written about figures in Ireland's past such as CuChulainn, and the Ulster cycle.

Celtic tribes from Europe led one of the early onslaughts, arriving around 300 BC and wresting control from the people who were already living on the island. The Celts were gradually converted to Christianity beginning in the AD 300s (St. Patrick being a prime motivator), and during the Dark Ages, scholars based at Irish monasteries helped preserve important writings from throughout western Europe. Viking plunderers menaced Ireland beginning around AD 700, and some of the Norse invaders eventually settled on the island. Three centuries later, English warriors intervened in a dispute between two Irish kings, beginning England's long involvement in Ireland. Religion played a key role in the struggles: The majority of the Irish were Catholic, and they were often at odds with their Protestant English rulers. The most bitter battles occurred in the mid 1600s, when Oliver Cromwell reasserted English control by shedding much Irish blood, seizing the lands of his opponents and desecrating Catholic cathedrals all across the land.

    ONE OF OUR many distinguished writers once described Northern Ireland as a also thedisproportionate contribution that our people have made to world culture.  
    http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/aspects_culture/
    
    Extractions: The Official Website for the Northern Ireland Tourist Board What's On Your quick reference guide to upcoming events. All arts in all parts ONE OF OUR many distinguished writers once described Northern Ireland as "a great country, just pretending to be small." That's certainly true, not only in terms of our own rich cultural heritage but also the disproportionate contribution that our people have made to world culture. For countless centuries this little country, just the size of Connecticut, has been a powerhouse of cultural and artistic endeavour of remarkable continuity, longevity and, above all, diversity. This is, after all, the Land of Finn McCool as well as St Patrick; a place where warriors were also bards; a country shared by both the Gael and the Planter; a land of imaginative writers as well as inventive geniuses. It's the birthplace of the Titanic, the Tyre and the Tractor as well as being the inspiration of Sir John Lavery, Seamus Heaney and Van Morrison. Today's visitors can soon touch the spirit of this place in a way that you cannot in other destinations. The arts and culture are always around you, alive and easily accessible everywhere. Just look at what you could do in the course of a day. Spend the morning exploring a Celtic Church that was once the beacon of enlightenment that continued to shine through Europe's Dark Ages; pay an afternoon visit to a gallery showing the best of contemporary Irish art; and then enjoy an Ulster Orchestra concert followed by a nightcap in a convivial pub where our storytelling tradition is vibrant.

    Our International Summer School is the oldest in Ireland and celebrates its 53rdAnniversary in 2001. Ireland Literary Tradition and Cultural Identity.

    Extractions: University College Dublin Our International Summer School is the oldest in Ireland and celebrates its 53rd Anniversary in 2001. Since earliest times the personality of Ireland has been marked by a capacity to assimilate a variety of influences while retaining a distinctive island character. Questions of identity and the fluctuating history of our relationship with Britain and the European Mainland arise constantly against a backdrop of social change and political adjustment. The 53rd International Summer School explores Irish society and its diverse heritage through the lenses of modern scholarship, 20th century literature and contemporary political debate. The Sumnmer School Our 2-week programme will examine Irish culture and tradition through a wide spectrum of topics, covering Art, Archaeology, Folklore, Literature, Theatre, Music, History and Politics. The course will provide new insights for students already familiar with Ireland, but is equally accessible to the newcomer. Lectures and seminars will be complemented by visits, field tours and musical events. Lectures will be given by Faculty members of international renown and by distinguished guest speakers from the Arts and public life in Ireland. It is intended to hold a panel discussion on Northern Ireland, with representatives from diverse shades of political opinion. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds and countries, from 18 to 80. About half of them have English as their first language (you need a good knowledge of English to follow lectures and get the most from the excellent social life).
