In the middle of the 5th century, Ireland was a rural society made up of about 100 communities without any central political power. by Carmel McCaffrey and Leo Eaton In Bronze Age Ireland, people lived in small communities of thatched homes. Cattle were the primary measure of wealth in Bronze Age Ireland. Ireland at this time was made up of a number of small communities known as "Tuatha," Irish for a people or a tribe. The overlords or kings of these communities had no real power, and succession was not guaranteed by birthright as it was in the rest of Europe. On the death of a chieftain or king, a committee met to determine the future leader. The kings were as subject to the law as anyone else and had no ownership of the land. No Irish ruler ever had the kind of power that his European counterpart had. There was a strong sense of cultural unity, however, as the important feast days often saw large gatherings at the major ritual sites to celebrate and honor the gods and goddesses. Traveling poets and lawyers, known as Brehons, likewise brought a sense of cultural unity as they interacted between the different communities. Ancient Irish law was known as Brehon Law. According to the surviving law tracts, the people with the most important status were the poets. For many years, even beyond the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century, poets enjoyed the rich patronage of the wealthy families. They were held in the highest esteem but were also feared because it was believed that their satire could wound or even kill.

HOME Ireland Culture How the Irish Saved Civilization: The Untold Story of Ireland's Heroic Role from the Fall of Rome to Rise of Medieval Europe by Thomas Cahill, CLICK HERE Reinventing Ireland: Culture and the Celtic Tiger by Michael Cronin, Over the last decade the Irish economy has experienced a period of unprecedented growth which has earned it the title Celtic Tiger. This success has been interpreted by academic commentators as marking a social and cultural transformation, what some have called the reinvention of Ireland. The essays in this book challenge the largely positive interpretation of Ireland's changing social order. The authors identify the ways in which culture and society have been made subservient to the needs of the market in this new neo-liberal Ireland. They draw on subversive strands in Irish history and offer a broader and more robust understanding of culture as a site of resistance to the dominant social order and as a political means to fashion an alternative future.
