    Advertised in ducas, The Newsletter of the Irish American
    Cultural Institute:
    
    February's Irish Perception speaker, Des Lavelle, is an authority
    on the fascinating archaeology, history, seabird, and marine life
    of the Skelligs Islands off the Co. Kerry coast.
    
    Lavelle's talk, illustrated by color slides, will explore the wonders
    of the Skelligs, including the sixth century monastic site built
    on a rock 600 feet above sea level, the thousands of sea birds that
    make the islannds an ornithological paradise, the seals and sharks,
    the history and the folklore of this austere outpost of Ireland.
