References

edit

I added references and additional info, therefore I removed the stub and cite references tags. Hopefully this suffices and everyone agrees the article is better. Let me know if you feel more needs to be done. Keithh (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Year of election and investiture

edit

The Arts Council Annual Reports ( available here and here) give the year of election and/or investiture of new Saoithe; sometimes these are a year earlier or later than those given in the Wikipedia page. I surmise that sometimes someone is elected one year and not invested till the following year, and that third-party sources may conflate the two events. The article should specify which date is given for each name; ideally listing both where different. jnestorius(talk) 18:27, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Edna O'Brien was missing, so I added her, but I am not sure if I got the distinction between the election and investiture dates right. The source on the Aosdana website mentions there was a ceremony to celebrate her election in 2015, though. Detritus2 (talk) 14:36, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
