Tony Birtill Annual Lecture

Conradh na Gaeilge Learpholl in partnership with the Liverpool Irish Festival are delighted to present the fourth annual Tony Birtill Lecture commencing at 7 pm on 21 Oct 2025 at Liverpool Irish Centre.
On 21 Oct 2021, Liverpool (and Ireland) lost a great Irish Language supporter, Tony Birtill.
He made an invaluable contribution to the conservation, promotion and teaching of the Irish Language on Merseyside for over 30 years. A Gaeilgeoir (fluent Irish speaker) and walking enthusiast who loved the outdoors, Tony was also a keen historian and language activist. His widely acclaimed book “Liverpool - A Hidden History” gives a very incisive insight into the lives and living conditions of Irish emigrants living in Liverpool in the aftermath of the Great
Famine in Ireland 1845-1852.
This year’s memorial lecture is in two parts and will be delivered by local historian Greg
Quiery and Dr. Eoghan Ahern from the University of Liverpool Institute of Irish Studies.
Greg’s talk will be about the establishment of the Famine Memorial in the gardens of St
Luke’s Church (Bombed out Church) in 1998 and Dr. Ahern’s talk will be about the impact of the Famine on the Irish language.
Join us to hear Greg Quiery and Dr. Ahern Gwyn deliver two most interesting talks.
No need to book - just turn up!
