@siobhra Thanks, Síobhra. This book has been on my list and I ordered it for UMass libraries a little while ago. Bairbre Ní Fhloinn wrote a wonderful essay in my History of Irish Lit and Env. Have you seen it?

@malcolmsen Lovely piece. You might be interested in this article by Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh (speaks to your points on indigeneity and the local). (Many other works in Irish also if you want further recommendations!): taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/…

Really worth reading this twice: "As pressures increase and the risk of Earth's climate system switching to a catastrophic state rises, more and more scientists have begun to research the possibility of societal collapse."
