Féile 2024 | Sleachta as saothar Liam Uí Fhlaithearta á léamh i nGort na gCapall

Young people Eimear Donohue and Aoibhínn Ní Dhioráin read from the works of Liam O’Flaherty in English and in Irish in the O’Flaherty commemorative garden next to the O’Flaherty home at Gort na gCapall in an event presented by storyteller Máirín Mhic Lochlainn. Eimear reads from the novel ‘The Black Soul’ (1924, in its centenary year). Aoibhínn reads in Irish from the short story ‘Ag dul ar imirce’ (‘Going into exile’) reflecting the theme of social reality in Gaeltacht areas.
