Leabhar bunaithe ar Léachtaí ó imeachtaí ón dara comhdháil idirnáisiúnta faoi scéalta ón Táin bó Cuailnge, a bhí ar siúl i Maigh Nuad i Mi Meithimh 2005
This book contains much study of the Táin Bó Cuailnge. From literary and mythological to linguistic and onomastic aspects of the tale and to palaeographical issues associated with the comrac Fir Diad section of the Táin while several others concentrate on its remscéla (foretales), including Do Fhaillsigiud Tána Bó Cúailnge and further studies while the more general and somewhat controversial question of the influence of classical literature on the Ulster Cycle is addressed in others. The volume also contains several thematic studies that range over a number of tales in the Cycle.
