Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh! Our ethereal expert @HMacAuliffe @MaynoothUni guides us through the darkness of #samhain, a time for feasting, mischief & terror in Irish literature, when the veil between worlds is thin, & ghastly ghouls abound! #Halloween https://t.co/vM9yuj22Ex

‘Great was the darkness': Spooky stories from medieval Ireland. These horror movie-worthy stories remind us we're not so different from our ancestors: we love a good scare, writes @HMacAuliffe @tcddublin @TCDHistHum https://t.co/7myO5XYX6y

How medieval politics are replicated in modern day Leinster House. The current Irish political landscape bears a striking resemblance to early medieval Ireland when it comes to how power is alternated, explains @HMacAuliffe @tcddublin https://t.co/85wfp8shEh

@dublinbusnews could you please tell me where the 11 that was due to serve stop 6122 at 14:00 disappeared to? And when the next one is due to arrive as the apps aren’t working.

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@dublinbusnews hi, is the 8:02 9 due to serve stop 200 running? It’s not on the app.

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@ClaireAuliffe @BlakestownCS I’ll tell you all about the medieval period whenever I see you next sure!

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

After the midterm break, I’ll be returning to the Scholars Ireland programme, run by @AccessTCD and @_AccessEd, for the fourth time!

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@ClaireAuliffe @BlakestownCS Thanks Claire!

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@ClaireAuliffe Me too! I constantly forget all about it

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@ClaireAuliffe I didn’t know you were on Twitter Claire! Thank you though!

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@peteraf1 I was recently surprised to find a second-hand copy of Kelly’s Guide to Early Irish Law while in New York City! I find myself consulting it all the time

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@annbuckley90 @PDufaigh Thanks Ann! Medieval music sounds like a fascinating subject (that I must admit I know very little about)

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@peteraf1 Thank you! I certainly think it is 😊

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

@PDufaigh Thanks Paul - I agree, it’s an important aspect of writing history that needs to be emphasised! Happy to be making the resources accessible to those who need them

[Hannah Mac Auliffe @HMacAuliffe]

It was great to speak about alternate succession in Dál Riata @IrConfMed on Thursday, in a really interesting session chaired by @BookerSparky and also featuring fascinating papers by Clare Downham and @zhivlova - thank you to everyone involved!

There’s no greater joy than finishing a chapter and finally getting to close the 53 tabs I had open for the past fortnight
