Heritage Week 2025: The Banshee the Messenger of Death & Keening

We have been asked to share the following information by the Co. Kilkenny Library.

For Heritage Week 2024, in Loughboy Library, Ann Moylan provided a hugely successful talk on Ancient Irish Wakes. For Heritage Week 2025,  Ann returns to Loughboy Library to provide us with another fascinating evening of insight into our rich heritage and folklore.

Don’t miss this talk and explanation of the role of the Banshee, the Messenger of Death, and making a comparison with the Mná Chaointe, the much revered Keening women without whom no Death Ritual was complete in Ancient Ireland.

This talk takes place on Friday 15th August at 6.15 p.m. in Loughboy Library.

Places are limited. Phone 056 7794176 or email loughboy@kilkennylibrary.ie  to book a place.
