However, for a combination of reasons, religious and cultural initially, and political later on, this suspicion eased and there was a palpable increase in interest in the language in the final decades of the 18th century. One of those who contributed to this amelioration was John Richardson, a clergyman of the Church of Ireland, some of whose publications are to be found among the holdings of Armagh Robinson Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Professor James Kelly is Head of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcu.ie\/historygeography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of History and Geography at Dublin City University<\/a>. A member of the Irish Manuscripts Commission since 1999 and of the Royal Irish Academy since 2003, Professor Kelly has published extensively on a variety of themes on early modern Irish history, with particular reference to the eighteenth century. His publications include Irish and English: essays on the Irish linguistic and cultural frontier, 1600-1900, which he co-edited with Ciar\u00e1n Mac Murchaidh (Dublin: Four Courts, 2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Funded by the Department for Communities, the lecture was part of a week of free online lunchtime lectures organised to link with <a href=\"https:\/\/peig.ie\/en\/irish-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Irish Language Week<\/a> (Seachtain na Gaeilge le Energia).
