# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Clare Museum Lecture Series talk with Stíofán Ó Cadhla
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Clare Museum’s Lecture Series continues at 7.30pm on Wednesday, April 8, with Stiofán Ó Cadhla’s talk, ‘The Centenaries of Irish Folklore: A Century of Collecting the Fragments’.

This lecture will explore the concept of folklore and how it was adopted by the Irish Free State. It will touch upon the Folklore of Ireland Society (founded in 1927) and the Irish Folklore Commission (1935-1971) and their role at a time when the state was engaged in development and modernisation. Research in this area has informed Stiofán Ó Cadhla's forthcoming book, ‘Inventing Irish Folklore: Revivals, Survivals, and Superstitions’, from Cork University Press.

Stiofán Ó Cadhla was born in Rinn Ó gCuanach, Waterford. He is a senior lecturer, and former head of Roinn an Bhéaloidis: Department of Folklore and Ethnology in University College Cork. Along with many publications in his field, he has published three collections of poetry in Irish. His new book, ‘Inventing Irish Folklore: Revivals, Survivals, and Superstitions’, is forthcoming this spring from Cork University Press.

While admission is free, there is likely to be a high level of interest in the talk, so those attending are asked to book a seat in advance by emailing claremuseum@clarecoco.ie. Telephone bookings cannot be accepted.

This season’s Lecture Series will conclude at Clare Museum on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, with a talk by Caroline Corballis on the folklore of County Clare’s caves.
