The July 2025 edition of Ireland’s Genealogical Gazette, the monthly newsletter of the Genealogical Society of Ireland, is now available online.

My lecture «Women and Arms: Contemporary coats of arms for women worldwide», delivered for the Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain, has been featured on page 4 of Ireland's Genealogical Gazette (Volume 20, Number 7, July 2025), the official publication of the Genealogical Society of Ireland.

The article highlights my presentation on the relationship between women and heraldry, as well as my longstanding commitment to the principle of equality in the assumption, inheritance and enjoyment of coats of arms.

The Gazette also refers to the reforms promoted by the late Brendan O’Donoghue, Chief Herald of Ireland from 1997 to 2003, who ensured that the provisions of the «Equal Status Act» were applied to heraldic services in Ireland.

Particular mention is made of the cases of the arms of Margaret Byrne and Kathleen Kane, two Irish armigerous women discussed during the lecture.

I am grateful to the Genealogical Society of Ireland and Ireland's Genealogical Gazette for this recognition, which represents an important international acknowledgement of my work in support of a more inclusive and equitable approach to heraldry.

This article presents a series of current castle coats of arms, the first of them corresponds to my interpretation of the Castilian castle, which is described in this article in a similar way to how I paint it, which makes me extremely pleased.
