A lecture on US Presidential visits to Ireland will kick off a mini-summer school in Callan today.
The Hoban McShain summer school is taking place as part of the Abhainn Rí Festival.
Dr David Kilroy will present a talk this evening honouring the connection that Callan and South Kilkenny has with the United States – including James Hoban who was the architect of the White House.
The school comes to an end this Saturday.
