The tensions existing between what historians call ‘the two histories’.

Cáit ar ghabhadar Gaoidhil? [Where will the Irish go?]
Hiram Morgan looks at two surviving echoes of Tyrone’s rebellion, and flight, in English folklore.
This year marks not only the 400th anniversary of the Flight of the Earls and the foundation of St Anthony’s, the Irish Franciscan college in Louvain, but also the 350th anniversary of the death of Luke Wadding. Edel Bhreathnach outlines the career of this remarkable man, who had St Patrick added to the Roman calendar and was probably the only Irishman to receive votes in a papal conclave.
Patrick Fitzgerald recently met up with the painter of what has now become the iconic image of the Flight of the Earls.
