Irish Spirits
Welcome to Irish Spirits, a fortnightly podcast about folklore and drinking, a natural Venn diagram of Irish culture. Hosted by Caoimhe Creed, Laura Fitzachary and Alex Buckley each week we will have a theme. Whether it’s ghosts, fairies or mythical creatures, we will discuss the stories and lore, all while drinking a themed cocktail made by our phantom bartender - Alex!

Episode 2
Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions in Dublin, us as a trio couldn't meet up this week - again! We will get an episode out as soon as we can but in the meantime please enjoy another interlude by Laura Fitzachary as she expands a little on the lore surrounding Ross Castle, Co. Meath. The sources she used were ross-castle.com, Conor Pope writing for the Irish Times https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/travel/i-went-in-search-of-ireland-s-most-troubled-ghosts-1.4066856 and Nicole Buckler writing for the Old Moore's Almanac https://oldmooresalmanac.com/1270-2/ . Check out what Laura is drinking on our Instagram page @irishspiritspodcast and of course please drink responsibly!
