Hyde Conference


The 21st annual Douglas Hyde Conference takes place between Friday 17th and Sunday 19th October 2008 at the Abbeyfield Hotel, Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon.

The conference began in 1988 to celebrate the life of Ireland's first President, Dr Douglas Hyde. There is a concentration on Hyde's recognition of the Irish language as a living language.
