Oscar Wilde Centre
The Oscar Wilde Centre is an academic research and teaching unit in
MPhil in Irish writing, and another in creative writing – the first programme of its kind in Ireland. The centre was founded by the poets Brendan Kennelly and Gerald Dawe, who serves as the director. Richard Ford, a Pulitzer Prize-winning American writer, joined the staff in 2008 as an adjunct professor
.
Since 2007 the centre also administers the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, an annual prize for an Irish writer under 40.[1]
