St Patrick’s Well in @tcddublin  (by Nassau St entrance) is reputedly the primary baptismal site of Patrick’s first converts. It was once the focal point for #StPatricksDay  festivities in Dublin city. The Irish version for Nassau St remains Sráid Thobar Phádraig #ThrowbackTrinity

From 1890s Irish & Indian nationalist causes became very closely aligned. Busts of Yeats & Tagore in Mumbai (NCPA) & Dublin celebrate this. There is hardly a town in India that doesn’t have AB road. Of Irish origin she was one of many Irish women fighting for 🇮🇪🇮🇳 independence

The Indian constitution drew on De Valera’s of 1937, except it was secular. Dev visited Delhi in 1948 as part of anti-partition tour. Mountbatten’s last act as viceroy was to host him. Ironic given Dev’s role in bringing down the Br Empire! Commemorated in a street name.😉

@Colonel_Zoeller @eoinbennis Yes. Many 17c indentured servants in Caribbean & Chesapeake only spoke Irish. Also Irish speakers in colonies in Amazon & Tangiers.

"What do we mean when we say the word 'imperialism'?" I had a fascinating conversation with Hugh Linehan as part of the @IrishTimes Inside Politics Podcast discussing Ireland, Empire and the importance of understanding our history.

Yesterday the wonderful John Morrill spoke to @OxfordCEMS about new 3-vol edition of letters, writings & speeches of Oliver Cromwell. 9 editors have worked for 15 years to find ‘Cromwell’s voice’. This will be a remarkable resource when published in June 2022 by @OUPHistory .

A pleasure to spend some time with the amazing @bourke_joanna discussing our @ERC_Research VOICES Project. As we interrogate the lived experiences of early modern Irish women we have much to learn from her insightful studies on the history of sexual violence & emotion.

Another great example of the importance of funding basic / frontier/ curiosity driven research. It’s a long game & high risk but the gains can make the world a better place for us all @shapeID_eu @laoneill111 @WiringTheBrain @adrianbracken @EU_H2020 @ERC_Research @IrishResearch

Oliver Cromwell is a controversial figure. This brilliant new book by Sarah Covington by @UniofOxford deftly recovers his social memory since 17C. She makes fabulous use of the material in the remarkable Folklore Collection @bealoideasucd A great read & title.👇 Congrats 👏
