"I thoroughly enjoyed the thesis and was glad I had studied a bit about the covered periods in learning Irish history I am sure it is common knowledge in Irish Academics (or even schoolchildren?) but I might have been lost as an American if I was not familiar (though on a cursory level) with these time periods and know the names and history of the named revolutionaries.
That being said, the research was fascinating. The phases towards building a national identity and how Ogham was related to these phases or even part of a driving force towards an Irish Identity in Leinster was amazing to see. I think it is no mystery that I am here that I have a passion about Ogham and it seems it has been a shared passion throughout Irish history." - L. Christopher Bird.
