Postgraduate conferrings in @MaynoothUni today: 🎆My (former) PhD student Dr Francesco Felici was officially conferred with the degree for his thesis 🍾 "Now you're talking... Old Irish. Towards a conversational approach to teaching Old Irish". Huge congratulations, Francesco!

My MA student 🥂 Olly Dorgan-Hughes 🎆 was conferred a Master of Arts for her "New edition of Dúan in chethrachat cest and its glosses", a perplexing MIr. question poem. Olly's dedicated research was so fantastic that she is now turning it now into an article. Superb job Olly!
