The Finn Cycle is a vast body of lore, tales and poetry centered on the figure of Fionn mac Cumhaill, leader of a band of men known as the Fianna. The Gaelic Finn Cycle II, published recently by Four  Courts Press, is a collection of essays that covers many aspects of this long tradition including the following chapters by members of the School of Irish Learning, UCC: ‘Editing Acallam na senórach: a test case based on the mucc shlánga episode’ by Kevin Murray (Dept of Early and Medieval Irish), ‘The death of Diarmaid: Pessinus to Ben Bulben?’ by John Carey (Dept of Early and Medieval Irish) and ‘The poetic contention in Agallamh Oisín agus Phádraig’ by Síle Ní Mhurchú (Dept of Modern Irish). This book was co-edited by Síle Ní Mhurchú along with Geraldine Parsons, University of Glasgow, and Sharon J. Arbuthnot, University of Cambridge/Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. The volume was funded by grants from the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Science, UCC, and the Strathmartine Trust.
