#L6 Chris Murphy
Kells: The product of 10,000 years of climate change, conflict, disease and migration
8.30pm Courthouse
With an eye on current global issues and their localised impacts, local historian Chris Murphy takes a journey through the many major turning points in the development of Kells, and the surrounding hinterlands of the Blackwater Valley over the last ten millennia. In just the last few decades, more has been learned about Ireland’s history than all we knew before; and, using the most up to date scientific evidence and surprisingly accurate ancient Irish texts, he examines who we really are, how we got here, and why we’re still here.
