MEANWHILE IN IRELAND

Sandy Chung and Jim McCloskey traveled to Ireland for the launch of the book “Cnuasach Chléire” at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies
on Thursday November 16th. “Cnuasach Chléire” documents the Irish formerly spoken on Cape Clear island, off the coast of Cork. Left unfinished by its author, Breandán Ó Buachalla, at the time of his death in May 2010, the work was brought to completion by Jim and by Cathal Goan, for both of whom Ó Buachalla was a mentor, colleague and friend. The launch was a lively and emotional occasion which was covered by Irish language radio and television. For those who are curious, the TV interviews can be accessed here, beginning around 13:50.
