A fragment of Irish rainforest near Moycullen, Galway. These places are so rare, so deeply enchanting, yet still so undervalued.

What sort of nation cares so little about the natural side of its heritage?

These black cats must be some of the most photographed marginalia of our collection (and RIGHTLY SO!)
I took my first-year undergrads to see some manuscripts in the @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social this week. We looked at a Latin bestiary, Jesus College MS 29 (featuring 'The Owl and the Nightingale', which they're studying) and a roll of devotional poems. I particularly liked the bestiary cats.

Probably the Darkside Detective games, but if you're interesting in Irish games, there's a Steam Curator page for games from Ireland and also includes games that have Irish as a language, so that might be worth a look.
