We are a literary society open to all. The ILS monthly lecture series runs from September until May. The series includes the annual Noel O'Connell Memorial Lecture, which is run in partnership with the Irish Texts Society, an early off-shoot of the ILS. Lectures cover a wide range of topics, some specifically literary or historical, and some of more general cultural interest.
Events in the 2016-17 season have included Sebastian Barry, Donal Ryan, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, literary walks, Jess Kidd, a broadcast collaboration with RTE.
