START

The Opening Night

Cumann Merriman will hold its 37th annual Winter School in Westport, Co. Mayo, from 27 – 29 January 2006. The Director of the 2006 Winter School is Liam Ó Dochartaigh of the University of Limerick. The principal location will be Hotel Westport.

Máirtín Ó Cadhain, the centenary of whose birth occurs this month, will be theme of this year’s Winter School, which will be opened by Professor Cathal Ó hÁinle, emeritus professor of Irish in Trinity College Dublin, one of Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s successors in that post, and a noted Ó Cadhain scholar. The opening lecture will be given by Dr. Louis de Paor, Director of the Irish Studies Centre at NUIG; his topic will be the challenge Ó Cadhain’s writings present to his readers. This lecture will be chaired by Seán Ó Cadhain, a nephew of the writer, and a member of Iontaobhas Uí Chadhain (The Ó Cadhain Trust).

Symposium

A symposium will be held on the morning of Saturday 28th January on Ó Cadhain as activist, teacher, and author, with Dr. Gearóid Denvir, another noted authority on the writings of Máirtín Ó Cadhain in the chair. The speakers will be Séamus Ó Tuathail (Senior Counsel), Professor Pádraigín Ní Cheallaigh (UCD), and Liam Mac Cóil, writer and critic in Irish.

The Ó Cadhain Song Collection

A much anticipated event at the Winter School will be a live presentation of a selection of traditional songs, the texts of which were collected in Conamara by Máirtín Ó Cadhain as a young man. These will be sung by four of the foremost sean nós singers, Sarah Ghriallais, Seosamh Ó Méalóid, Tomás Ó Neachtain and Johnny Mháirtín Learaí Mac Donnchadha. Dr. Ríonach uí Ógáin (UCD) will give a short contextual introduction, and Máire Ní Neachtain (Mary Immaculate College, Limerick) will preside over the session.

Book of the Year

Cumann Merriman’s annual publication is Téacs Baineann Téacs Mná (A Woman’s Text a Feminine Text), a new study on aspects of the poetry of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill by Bríona Nic Dhiarmada (UL). The book will be launched on Saturday afternoon in Westport Library by Professor Breandán Ó Buachalla (University of Notre Dame, USA), a powerful and engaging speaker, and the poet will be present to read from Ní Dhomhnaill’s work.

Other Events

The Merriman Winter School in Westport will include the customary sessions of traditional singing and conviviality. Music at Club Merriman each evening will be provided by Johnny Connolly and his friends.

The 37th Merriman Winter School will conclude on Sunday morning, 29 January, with a joint reading from Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s writings by Joe Steve Ó Neachtain, his wife Máirín (a niece of the celebrated author), and their family, which promises to be another extremely enjoyable occasion.
