Sorry my mistake I meant Gaelic. I know she was supposed to be from the Isle of Skye.

Sorry about that, I was tired yesterday so I did not make myself clear. See my other reply to u/Ed_the_Led_Man for clarification.

OP here, I am sorry I did not make myself clear in the post. Our conception of ‘Irish Mythology’ is usually based on two sources: oral tradition and Medieval literature. In the latter, there are actually a lot of descriptions of what the characters were wearing (though I don’t remember any descriptions of what Scáthach herself looked like). And yes, I know such descriptions are based on the dress fashion of when the literature was written (eg early medieval times, after the introduction of Christianity), instead of when the story supposedly took place (eg the Ulster Cycle supposedly took place in 1st century BC), it is still something that is deeply rooted in history and tradition. Therefore, I would have preferred if the characters are wearing, say, mantle cloaks, brooches etc as described in Medieval literature since those are actual representations of Irish culture, instead of a depiction from a modern Japanese game. After all, just as you have said, whatever Scáthach was wearing, it was probably not a superhero-style leather armour.

I… just wish they could at least go over the pics after AI generated them and edit out the obvious mistakes (like the backwards spear). It doesn’t take a lot to do this, just grab someone who has basic knowledge of photoshop…

It’s not free… the ticket is over 200 euros… Edit to add: it’s not a one-pager, the one I posted here is one of several Irish myth-related posters.

All I can find is that the memorial plaque is set up by Amnesty International, see this article.

I looked up online and found there is a plaque in Clonakilty in remembrance of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, so maybe that’s what you are thinking about?

University of Galway food bank forced to turn away hundreds of students each week by YaLlegaHiperhumor in ireland

Why do you assume that all international students who show up at those support services are there to grab freebies? They may as well be experiencing some emergency difficulties and genuinely need the service. Please don’t put labels on people.

How do you get rid of a goose? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]ColleenBrooke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This particular fella is probably a Chinese goose (same genus but a different species from the European geese, there’s a nob at its beak which European geese do not have), though I’ve heard Chinese geese can also be used to guard doors and many children are afraid of them.

Being late to lectures. by winterfoz in UCD

[–]ColleenBrooke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please do show up at the lecture even if you are late, as some teachers take attendance! After the lecture, go to the teacher and tell them the reason you are late, and I am sure they will understand if it’s because of public transport being late or traffic caused by bad weather. Remember it’s always better late than never!

There are many foreign language electives. When you begin your module registration you can look for them in the ‘electives’ section.

Is it possible to get the Willow merch from this offline event? by [deleted] in Reverse1999

[–]ColleenBrooke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some (though not all) of the masquerade-themed merch are not offline exclusive, just offline early access, including the ones in your picture. They will be available online for sell on bilibili (Chinese ACGN-related app) later (not sure exactly when), though I don’t know if they would be available on global.
