The Minister for Rural, Community and Gaeltacht Affairs, Éamon Ó Cuív, will formally launch Deirdre agus Mic Uisnigh, the new graphic novel by Colmán Ó Raghallaigh, on Friday April 24 in Claremorris Library at 8pm.
The tragic tale of Deirdre and the sons of Uisneach, one of the classics of Irish literature, is skilfully retold in graphic novel format by Colmán Ó Raghallaigh and superbly illustrated by Barry Reynolds and Audrey O’Brien. This companion volume to the award-winning An Táin captures all the richness of language and relentless excitement of the original Irish tale.
