Hedge Schools

Editor Tommy Graham will be hosting a series of History Ireland Hedge Schools during 2012, lively round-table discussions with historians and well-known personalities. If you are a local history society, or a parish priest, vicar or imam with access to a local hall, and are interested in setting up such an event, why not get in touch and we can discuss the logistics. Pod casts and videos of these events will be posted here as they become available.
