Míle Buíochas / Many Thanks

ThiarWest.com is presented with immense gratitude to Fulbright Ireland, NUI Galway, the University of Houston, and Aran and Connemara. This project also would not be possible without the help, encouragement and generous contributions of Barry Houlihan, Kieran Hoare, Seán Ryder, Geraldine Curtin, Margo Donohue, Treasa Harkin, Feargal Ó Béarra, and especially my mentors Lillis Ó Laoire and Carl Lindahl.

This project and associated research were funded by the Fulbright Commission and Fulbright Ireland, and were part of a Fulbright grant hosted by the James Hardiman Library’s Archives and Special Collections at NUIG. Further material has been processed and added to ThiarWest as part of a fellowship from the University of Houston, as well as a Zamora Dissertation Award awarded to Carolann Madden by the English Department at the University of Houston.
