BRÍD UÍ CHOISTEALA: TRADITION BEARER OF KILBAHA

Bríd Uí Choisteala

A caption on a photograph taken in the 1930s describes Bríd Bean Uí Choisteala as the 'blind wife' of Mr. Costello. This unfortunate reduction of one of Clare's finest storytellers is now finally addressed. Mrs. Uí Choisteala of Kilbaha, Loop Head, was one of those tradition bearers who possibly on account of her gender has largely been omitted from public knowledge outside of her own native place. In 1942, 1943 and 1950 Tadhg

Ó Murchú, on behalf of the Irish Folklore Commission, collected much of Bríd Bean Uí Choisteala's lore and noted her as one of the finest storytellers in Ireland.
