They proved to be an important catalyst in spreading the Cultural Revival throughout the Irish midlands and in awakening broader interest and engagement with the language movement in a relatively remote area. \nThe intention behind these occasions was to both educate and entertain while deepening a sense of community\, unity and national well-being. The local parishes of Tang\, Boher\, Castletown and Drumraney were connected to the broader national movement and key public intellectuals addressed the gatherings.  \nThrough Uisneach’s portal\, Westmeath welcomed many of the leading figures involved in the Revival\, notably Douglas Hyde\, Eoin MacNeill\, Alice Stopford Green\, Francis Joseph Bigger\, Agnes O’Farrelly\, Alice Milligan\, Mary Hayden\, Arthur Griffith\, Patrick Pearse\, Ada English\, Eamon de Valera and John MacBride. \nOnline Zoom Link: Click to Start Lecture
