Léacht Harry Holland 2011
"Máirtín Ó Cadhain: A Life in Struggle"

le Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh
mar chuid de Fhéile Gaeilge le Bród ag Glór na Móna

Tá cáil ar Mháirtín Ó Cadhain mar scríbhneoir, ach ba shóisialaí agus poblachtóir é freisin a chaith a shaol ag troid ar son na cosmhuintire, go háirithe sna ceantair Ghaeltachta arb as dó féin.

Tá dhá leabhahr scríofa ag Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh ar an Chadhnach, agus tá cnuasach de shaothar an Chadhnaigh curtha in eagar aige freisin.

Beidh an chaint i mBéarla, agus beidh ceol ina diaidh le Gráinne Holland agus cairde.

Harry Holland Lecture 2011
"Máirtín Ó Cadhain: A Life in Struggle"

by Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh
as part of Glór na Móna's Féile Gaeilge le Bród

Máirín Ó Cadhain is renowned as a writer, but he was also a socialist and republican who spent his life fighting for the dispossessed, especially in the Gaeltacht areas from which he himself came.

Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh has written two books about Ó Cadhain, and has also edited a volume of his work.

The talk will be in English, and there will be a music session afterwards with Gráinne Holland and friends.
