Though I have no experience with Lisp myself, I do know a some Scheme
(though shamefully little, even though I read most of SICP - I should

way through the book Practical Common Lisp.

The only Irish person I ever met who uses Lisp regularly is Patrick Collison.

Not that I know of, but if anyone hears about any, please let me
know!! I'd be VERY interested in Lisp talks.
