Irish Folklore Commission
- Irish Folklore Commission
The Irish Folklore Commission ("Coimisiún Béaloideasa Éireann" in Irish) was set up in 1935 by the Irish Government to study and collect information on the folklore and traditions of Ireland.
Originally founded and directed by James Hamilton Delargy, it eventually finished in 1971. Its roles were superseded by the Department of Irish Folklore in University College, Dublin which has since served as a repository of the data collected, including the Irish Folklore Collection.
