OK, so I have both this book and the Oxford Book of Irish Short Stories, edited by William Trevor and published seven years later. Mostly the same authors but only two duplications ("First Conjugation" by Julia O'Faolain, and "Desert Island" by Terence de Vere White.) Trevor has more folk tales and pre-20th-century material, Kiely has more then-contemporary authors. Trevor includes himself and Kiely, Kiely includes Trevor but was apparently too modest to include himself. Both strongly recommended, it should go without saying.
