Journal launch “In ard an thráthnóna siar r-Nuachtlitir Chorca Baiscinn”
November 5, 2012
Coiste Stiúrtha Ghaeltachta Chontae an Chláir and Coiste Forbartha na Gaeltachta: Contae an Chláir with assistance from Clare County Council plan to launch a new title called “In Ard an Tráthnóna Siar” – Nuachtlitir Chorca Baiscinn in Kilrush Golf Club, Kilrush, Co. Clare on Friday, 30th November 2012 at 8 pm.
Leading Irish language writers from the Kilrush area who are coming to the fore today are behind this project. But the title contains 60 pages and was compiled since last April.
The title is about Cill Mháille and Irish language life long ago. There is also newly composed poetry in the Irish language journal. Among the other subjects that will be discussed in the context of language planning in the journal are threatened languages, Dubhghlas de hÍde, the history of Corca Baiscinn, Windtalkers, the speech of the people, reawakening nationhood, a glance at the Irish language as a mother tongue or heritage language: strategies in raising children with Irish, storytelling like the donkey ‘Billy’ and a look ahead at The Gathering 2013.
Guest speakers such as Seósamh Mac Ionnrachtaigh, Máire Ní Rónáin, Maire Uí Hamiltún, Siobhán Nic Sheoirse and Seán Mac Mathúna will describe what they have written about in the journal the same night.
Under the project, each writer will get a copy of the first edition ever free. The journal will be available for sale at €10 each at this launch.
It promises to be a pleasant social evening. The occasion will come to a conclusion at 10.00 pm the night of the launch.
