Welcome to the website of the Mícheál Ó Cléirigh Summer School. The School was established in Rossnowlagh in 2013. The first Summer School took place on 17th May, 2014. The purpose of the school is to celebrate the life and achievements of Mícheál Ó Cléirigh and his colleagues, the other members of the ‘Four Masters.’ The school also commemorates the work of the Franciscan Friars of the period who lived in Donegal and in Louvain. Mícheál Ó Cléirigh was born in Creevy, between Rossnowlagh and Ballyshannon and the Franciscan Friary today is located in Rossnowlagh. It is entirely appropriate, then, that the Mícheál Ó Cléirigh Summer School is located in Rossnowlagh, in the Friary itself and and environs.

University of Toronto These are the "Annals of the Four Masters" as translated from Gaelic by John O'Donovan in 1856. The title chosen by Mícheál O'Cléirigh was annala rioghachta Eireann or in English "Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland" The term Annals of the Four Masters was coined by Fr John Colgan latterly, even though many more than four annalists contributed to the project.
