Ag Léamh faoin mBinse Scoile: Saol agus Saothar Chathail Uí Shándair (Baile Locha Riach)

De réir Alan Titley ina leabhar An tÚrscéal Gaeilge rinne Cathal Ó Sándair (1922-1996) an ‘gníomh aonair pinn is éachtaí i stair an úrscéil Ghaeilge’. Ní hamháin gur thuig Ó Sándair léitheoirí óga na tíre seo ach chuir sé iad ag léamh leabhair Gaeilge le dúil agus bhí tionchar mór ag na leabhair a scríobh sé ar a chuid léitheoirí. Tá saol agus saothair Uí Shándáir á gcomóradh i mbliana. Arna tacú ag Gaeilge Locha Riach agus mar chuid den chomóradh speisialta seo beidh an Dr. Róisín Adams ó Choiste Comórtha Chathail Uí Shándair ag teacht go Baile Locha Riach chun caint agus ceiliúradh a dhéanadh ar a chuid saothair. Beidh an chaint seo dátheangach agus tá fáilte ríomh cách.

According to Alan Titley in his book An tÚrscéal Gaeilge, Cathal Ó Sándair (1922-1996) performed the ‘single-most feat of writing in the history of Irish language novels’. Not only did Ó Sándáir understand the youth of Ireland, but he also gave them a desire to read Irish language books which made a big impression on their readers. The life and work of Ó Sándair is being commemorated this year. With support from Gaeilge Locha Riach, and as part of this special commemoration, Dr. Róisín Adams of the Cathail Ó Sándair Commemoration Committee will be coming to Loughrea to celebrate his work and give a bilingual talk to which everyone is welcome.
