2: Scoring Evidence: an academic response to gender inequality in Irish folk/trad with Dr Úna Monaghan, Joanne Cusack and Catriona Hawksworth

3: Identifying the “Workplace” in Irish trad/folk: with Pauline Scanlon, Úna Molloy (Turning Pirate) and Eibhlín Ní Dhochartaigh (Imbolc), chaired by Fil Campbell
