We would like to take a moment to highlight our colleague Professor Aisling O'Donnell and her new role as the Director of the Centre for Social Issues! 🎉

"The key to our centre’s immense success is its people: each individual accomplishment has been supported by the group, and leads to more success as the learning is passed on. We are all passionate about addressing real-world social issues in theoretically grounded ways.

"Dressing up was called 'guising' in former days - disguising yourself from the supernatural forces that might come from the other world. The 'guises' that people adopted were plain or ugly costumes, whereas nowadays Halloween costumes are more commercialised, reflecting popular culture."

Dr Karol Mullaney-Dignam from UL's School of History spoke to Tipperary Live about the Celtic roots of Halloween, and how over time the traditions of Halloween have diverged from their Samhain origins.
