Lots of interesting talks and a great location in Duckett's Grove a few miles outside Carlow town. I hadn't even heard of Duckett's Grove before this, it is an amazing place to ramble around, a big old house that looks like a castle, now in ruins but stable enough that you can still wander around inside. The only real downside to the weekend was the weather but there isn't much the organiser's could do about that

I'd recommend it for next year - you can have a look at what talks were on here: http://www.thehistoryfestivalofireland.com/

Unfortunately I don't think anything was filmed but I think there may be an audio recording of one or two of them. If I see them pop up anywhere, I'll link them here.
