Reviews
Of the three I just read, I like this history best. It is indeed concise, and the photographs also add a lot of unspoken words.
This slippery sculpture is a sculpture of filthy in which the poet Ciarraíoch, Piaras Feiritéar, goes in aid of a young woman in England, Máiréad Ruiséal, a woman who had an offense at her time. Piaras Feiritéar, Ruiséal, na Gallu Gallda agus Iarla Chill Dara are historical characters - the adventure is a songwriting.
