Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox organization The Irish Skeptics Society (ISS) is a scientific skeptical organisation based in Ireland.[1] It was launched in December 2002[2] and publishes a newsletter called Skeptical Times.[3] The ISS is a member of the European Council of Skeptical Organisations (ECSO).[4]

The organisation regularly sponsors lectures on a variety of topics including self-awareness,[5] tolerance,[6] evolution[7] and popularisation of science.[8] In 2004, it sponsored a lecture by James Randi.[9] It is a signatory to Sense about Science's Keep Libel Laws out of Science campaign.[10]

Spokespersons from the organisation such as its founding member Paul O'Donoghue (a clinical psychologist) are often quoted on paranormal and pseudoscience topics such as homeopathy,[11] magnet therapy,[12] Spiral Dynamics[13] and UFOs[14] in the Irish press. Paul O'Donoghue has commented on the amount of coverage alternative medicine receives in the media.[15]

The Irish Skeptics Society hosted the 13th European Skeptics Congress from 7 to 9 September 2007 at the Davenport Hotel in Dublin.[16]
