From the 2021 #TCD #FestiveHub seasonal video series, Eoin Mac Cárthaigh, Department of Irish and Celtic Studies reads 'Dia do bheath', a 17th century Christmas poem in Irish by Aodh Mac Aingil.
The full text #DIAS is here: https://bardic.celt.dias.ie/displayPoem.php?firstLineID=678
It's very similar to this (with English translation), said to be first recorded in Douglas Hyde’s “The Religious Songs of Connacht" (with audio recording).

This #Christmas carol is attributed to Aodh Mac Aingil (1571-1626), a theologian and philosopher who worked in the #IrishColleges in Leuvan and Rome, most importantly on the philosophy of #DunsScotus. A proficient poet, he may have studied first at a bardic school.

Not going to lie I only listen to Ronan Collins once a year on Christmas Eve while doing the prep for dinner on Christmas Day. I miss him. I hope he enjoys his (semi) retirement. Off to find a rendition of O Holy Night he’s approve of.

No Messin’ is a superb bakery based in #Dublin7 and today they sent me a sample of their mince pies.
I’ve bought these mince pies several times in the past, and I’ll be doing so again this year, as they really are the best around.
No Messin mince pies will be available at Proper Order Coffee Smithfield from Sat 26th and pre-orders open December 1st. Oh, and the brandy butter, made with Highbank apple brandy) is also rather good.
