The School

The Daniel O’Connell Summer School for 2025 has now concluded. The School highlights the legacy of Daniel O’Connell, nationally and internationally, explores issues of importance to O’Connell and which are still relevant today and celebrates the rich traditions and folklore of O’Connell’s native South Kerry.

We would like to thank all those who attended this year's school for your continued support.

You can listen to all the talks from the 2025 School in our Video Library

The Programme for 2026 is currently being created and will be available soon.   Once complete, we will be putting up the Event Speakers for this year's school.
