Is é Oireachtas 1913 i nGaillimh a bheidh á scrúdú ag Dara Folan sa léacht speisialta seo do Sheachtain na Gaeilge. Bhunaigh Conradh na Gaeilge féile an Oireachtais sa bhliain 1897. Ar dtús is i mBaile Átha Cliath amháin a tionóladh an tOireachtas ach in imeacht ama socraíodh an fhéile a bhogadh chuig ionaid eile agus is ar chathair na Gaillimhe a thit sé chun an chéad Oireachtas lasmuigh de Bhaile Átha Cliath a thionól.
