IRISH language enthusiasts will have a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in literature during Seachtain na Gaeilge, with a special evening featuring acclaimed Donegal journalist Michelle Nic Pháidín at the Alley Theatre in Strabane tomorrow.
The free event, part of Derry City and Strabane District Council’s annual Seachtain na Gaeilge programme, will showcase readings from Michelle’s critically acclaimed short story collection ‘Súile Éisc agus Scéalta Eile’.
Gaoth Dobhair writer Michelle has worked across a host of publications and took up a new role as Oifigeach Pleanála Teanga in Donegal last year.
“We are delighted to offer an event entirely in Irish that invites fluent speakers to engage directly with a remarkable author,” said Erin Hamilton from the Council’s Languages Team.
“Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the themes of Michelle’s stories, ask questions, and connect with fellow Irish language enthusiasts.”
The event is scheduled for Tuesday, March 11 at 6.30pm in the Alley Theatre.
It is designed for fluent Irish language speakers, offering a unique opportunity to experience literature in its native tongue.
The evening will be conducted entirely in Irish, providing a rich, immersive experience for the audience.
Admission is free, but booking is essential. Attendees will enjoy light refreshments at the start of the event, creating a welcoming atmosphere for conversation and cultural exchange.
