Irish Language Radio Programme Launch and Talk in Strule Arts Centre

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council will host the launch of an Irish language radio programme in the Strule Arts Centre on Thursday 14 February 2019 at 7:30 pm.

The programme, which has been produced by the Council’s Irish language officer with financial support from Conradh na Gaeilge (the Gaelic League), tells the story of how a young Irish teacher called Máirtín Ó Gacháin came from Co Mayo to Dromore, Co Tyrone to work as a teacher between 1904 to 1908.

This was part of the Gaelic League’s Irish Ireland movement of the time.

The launch of the radio programme will be followed by a short talk by Nollaig Mac Congáil professor emeritus of the National University of Ireland, Galway on the history of the Gaelic League, which was founded in 1893.  In his talk Professor Mac Congáil will outline the origins of the movement, discuss its aims and objectives, its way of working and its influence until WW1.

This is a free event. Everyone welcome.
