This article presents a satire on a reacaire's poetry performance, highlighting cultural critiques.
Following on from an edition of Athraigh gléas, a Ghiolla Íosa in Ériu 73, this article provides an edition (with translation and notes) of A fhir iomtha an aosa téad , a short satire on a reacaire whose recital of poetry and harp accompaniment leave much to be desired.
