Registration for this year’s School will be primarily on-line and details will be posted on the website soon. ‘We are delighted to be organising the School again and to continue our exploration of the legacy of Daniel O’Connell and of the history and traditions of Iveragh’ commented Professor Maruice Bric, Academic Director of the School.

The Daniel O’Connell Summer School takes place in the Library, Cahersiveen  and in Derrynane House, Caherdaniel . The School highlights the legacy of Daniel O’Connell, nationally and internationally, explores issues of importance to O’Connell and which are still relevant today and celebrates the rich traditions and folklore of O’Connell’s native South Kerry.
