IRELAND S Golden Age began with the growth of monasticism in the 6th century and flourished from then until the Viking invasions of the 8th and 9th centuries.
Throughout that period the country witnessed a remarkable flourishing of art, literature, manuscript preservation, metal-work and stone sculpture.
