"The study of folklife is fundamental to an appreciation of cultural heritage, which is currently being fostered in the north of Ireland and which will lead to increased demand for well informed opinion and for thorough research. It is also fundamental to an understanding of localised cultural heritage, whether from Ireland or from elsewhere, which is not merely the product of jingoistic national chauvinism."(From "Out of the Abstract: The Development of the Study of Irish Folklife" by Linda M. Ballard)
