This applies to all six Royal Irish Academy journals:
• Ériu
• Irish Studies in International Affairs
• Irish Journal of Earth Sciences
• Mathematical Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy
• Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy

S2O allows publishers to transition journals from subscription access to open access one year at a time, by flipping subscription revenue into Open Access, as long as libraries continue to support the model.
Thanks to @projectmuse.bsky.social ’s Subscribe to Open (S2O) model, all 2026 research articles in the RIA’s journals will be free to read and free to publish.

As rates of mental health issues – particularly among young people – continue to rise, understanding how resilience supports recovery from trauma is vital. This discussion brings together neuroscience and psychology to better understand how we can build resilience in ourselves and in society.
Join us for the event ‘The neuroscience of resilience: building brains to withstand life’ as part of our 2025-26 Discourse Series.

Tomorrow we are hosting Peadar Ó Muircheartaigh who will delivery a lecture in Irish providing a glimpse into the background of the bones, the inscriptions and the man behind them all. Tickets available: www.tickettailor.com/events/royal...
In 2025, the Academy Library was gifted a 19th-century bone with an inscription in Irish. Thady Connellan (Tadhg Ó Coinnialláin, c.1780–1854), a bibliographer and schoolmaster from Sligo, made this and various inscriptions on other bones.
Apologies Peadar, correctly posted now
By the mid-twentieth century, Ireland had proportionately more people in 'mental hospitals' than any other country in the world. On a given night, the number of people in Ireland's psychiatric hospitals was more than double those in all our other institutions put together.
In 1814, the Richmond Lunatic Asylum at Grangegorman in Dublin started an extraordinary programme of asylum building across Ireland, aimed at alleviating the suffering of people with mental illness who were homeless, in prison, or confined in appalling circumstances.
Asylum: Inside Grangegorman is now available as an audiobook, narrated by the author, Brendan Kelly.
