Comhar Óg is on the shelves now
May 21, 2013
The second edition of ‘Comhar Óg’, the youth magazine of ‘Comhar’ is to be published this week.
Comhar Óg consists of the work of second level students in Ireland, between short stories, poetry, articles, cartoons, photos and lúibíní.
Funded by the Comhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta (COGG), ‘Comhar Óg’ provides teenagers with the opportunity to develop their writing skills, as well as providing relevant reading material for young people.
With dialects ranging from Connacht to the Déise, from Corca Dhuibhne to Gaoth Dobhair, there is much input from all four corners of the country, and it is clear that much effort is being put into writing by the students of Ireland.
Edited by Áine Uí Fhoghlú, well-known writer from an Rinn, Co. Waterford, and designed by Comhar designer Mark Wickham, both are without a doubt looking at these young writers as the future of Comhar.
Editor Áine Uí Fhoghlú highly recommends students to get practicing and writing, especially with the summer months coming. She also recommends teachers to work on creative writing skills, especially with transition year students.
With the submission date for Gradaim Liteartha an Oireachtais drawing near on July 1st, surely there will be a lot of writing done between now and then. More information on this, Comhar Óg, and Comhar itself is available on (01) 6785443, www.iriscomhar.com or iriscomhar@gmail.com.
