If you are reading this, you are invited to the inaugural Irish Substack meetup! This is an opportunity for Irish bloggers to meet some of their readers, as well as to foment a community sincerely interested in good-faith discussion of ideas.
Some of the writers featured include:
Sam Enright (By Reason Alone, the Fitzwilliam)
Julian Gough (The Egg and the Rock)
Shane O’Mara (Brain Pizza)
Seán Keyes (The Currency)1
Margaret O’Brien (Weather Report)
Ronan McGovern (The Blip)
Peter McLaughlin (Her Fingers Bloomed)
Belinda Vigors (The Women of Ireland Project)
Jonathan Dockrell (Where is My Flying Car?)
With hopefully more to confirm soon! If you feel there is someone else we should invite, you can email sam@thefitzwilliam.com.
Date: September 30th 2023
Time: From 7pm
Place: Parnell Heritage Pub, Dublin, 1st floor (excluding Mezzanine level)
Please RSVP here. We look forward to seeing you.
While not technically a Substack, Seán’s excellent newsletter for the Currency counts as an honourary Substack.
Hi, I'm an Irish person writing on Substack (and in other media). Unfortunately I don't live in Dublin (I'm in Galway) and can't make the trip up this weekend, since I'm in the city on Thursday for the launch of an anthology I'm in. Maybe next time if I get better notice. Wishing you a fun first gathering!
This is cool! Hope you all have a good night. I would love to attend another such event in the future sometime
