What is your most-loved Irish poem?

What is your most-loved Irish poem of the last century? A Poem for Ireland is a major new RTÉ campaign which aims to get the public talking about the Irish poems they feel are the most-loved of the past 100 years.

In this time of centenaries, RTÉ looks back at the Irish poems and poets of the past century. The campaign will be spearheaded by The Works, RTÉ One’s arts show, and RTÉ Radio 1’s The John Murray Show in partnership with Poetry Ireland and An Post. The Jury will be made up of John Kelly (Chair), Damien Dempsey, Catriona Crowe, Maria Johnston and Anne Doyle.

RTÉ’s A Poem for Ireland will run over the course of six months, from its launch on The John Murray Show and The Works today (September 26) to the unveiling of the Irish public’s final choice in March 2015.

It will be accompanied by a major digital site where the public can nominate, read and vote for poems. The digital site will build in scale and content as the campaign progresses.
