Irish Resources

For the convenience of our members and the general public, we're gathering some links to Irish organizations and publications — except individual books.  As the late, great Carlos Fuentes hinted, the Irish seem to express themselves in writing more than other groups and always seem to be there when English literature starts to stumble, so even a survey of Irish and Irish-American works would be rather . . . large.

Keep in mind that this list is not intended to be complete, and is a perpetual work-in-process.  If you know of an organization or publication that you think should be on this list, let us know.  If you think your organization or publication should be listed, let us know.  Due to the global membership of this SIG, there is a preference for resources available beyond a local area or that have some degree of prominence, so don't be surprised or offended if your local Irish club or favorite bar isn't listed.

Also, if any of the links is broken, tell us so we can fix it.
