#16 Píosa léitheoireachta déanta agam fá choinne mo chuid staidéir agus chuir mé spéis ar leith san aiste scríofa ag Camille O'Reilly, ar fáil anseo cain.ulster.ac.uk/issues/langu...
Cover of book 'The Irish Language in Northern Ireland', a collection of essays on the subject. The cover is an old style school backboard with faint Gaelic script written on it

Bhí mé faoi gheasa ag an leabhar seo agus an scríbhneoireacht. Sheas Peadar go daingean diongbháilte lena chúis agus lena chuid comrádaithe, in éadan na ndrochghníomhartha déanta ag an Saorstát úr. D'fhág sé mé ag smaointiú gur truaigh é nár scríobh sé leabhar riamh ina theanga dhúchais féin.

#14 Casadh na Taoide - seantéacsleabhar é a fuair mé saor in aisce ón Acadamh i nGaoth Dobhair - rud beag tur, b'fhéidir, ach taitníonn téacs liom a úsáideann na leaganacha ainmneacha galánta Gaelach, scríofa síos mar 'Art Ó Gríofa, Ruairí Mac Asmaint, Mícheál Ó Coileáin' srl, galánta ar fad

Ní fear mór filíochta mé ach is meallacach saothar Mhic Lochlainn. Gaeilge Fheirsteach, Béarla Feirsteach agus fiú Spáinnis le léamh ann. Filíocht osréalach agus scéal inteacht ag gabháil síos fríd an cnuasach. Ó thaobh fíliocht na Gaeilge de, tá siad ar na dánta is fearr dár léigh mé

Ón aiste '50 Shades of Bunreacht Blue' le Sinéad Mercier
What kind of a republic are we if the north of this small island remains what Fidelma O'Kane, Aisling Cowan and V'cenza Cirefice have called a 'sacrifice zone? Left still subjected to the levels of extraction and concentrated land ownership the republic built its identity in opposition to? Cú Chulainn stands in the window of the GPO; the Ulster Cycle gives myth and meaning to Irish sovereignty. Yet the destruction of the physical sites of those myths, such as Lough Neagh or gold mining in the Sperrins, are somehow not an Irish state concern.

#12 An Clogán - Cé gur tugadh ainm Gaelach ar an irisleabhar, chuir sé díomá orm nach raibh alt Gaeilge ar bith ann. Ar scor ar bith, cuid mhór ábhar machnaimh atá ann - ná hailt le @sineadmercier.bsky.social , @clairemitchell.bsky.social , Martina Anderson agus Ursula Ní Shionnain go háirid

Leabhar #11 - Bhí mé ag amhanc ar chlár faisnéise inteacht ar an tseinnteoir TG4 le déanaí agus bhí seanleaids ann ag imirt an chluiche seo. Ní fhaca mé a leithéid roimhe sin, agus dar liom féin, ba ghá domh rud beag taighde a dhéanamh air, tá an cuma air gurbh mhór an spóirt é

Leabhar #9 - Cúpla bliain ó shin, ba é seo an chéad leabhar Gaeilge dár léigh mé. Thug mé cuairt ar theach Shéain Mhic Fhionnlaoich ar Ghabhla níos luaithe i mbliana agus tháinig mé de mhian orm é a léamh arís. Scéaltaí iontacha ar fad atá ann, go háirid an scéal fán Asgard
