Ar fud an domhain t谩thar ag cuir suime i bpobal iontach Chathair Dhoire mar gheall ar eachtra铆 thar a bheith greannmhar Derry Girls agus mar a l茅irigh siad an saol a bh铆 ag d茅ag贸ir铆 sna 1990id铆.

In Ceathrar Cail铆n铆 Dhoire, leanann muid ceathrar iardhalta铆 de chuid Chol谩iste Chnoc na nDealg - an spreagadh a bh铆 taobh thiar den scoil i sraith Derry Girls, agus alma mater an 煤dair, Lisa McGee, agus muid ag fiosr煤 thaith铆 na scoile agus na cathrach sna 1990id铆.

T谩 cuimhn铆 cinn ag na daoine at谩 p谩irteach sa chl谩r agus iad ag caint ar chairdeas fad saoil agus ar mh煤inteoir铆 spreag煤la; a gcuid turas chun na Gaeltachta; fios acu go raibh athr煤 polait铆ochta corrach ar na bac谩in agus an pr贸iseas s铆och谩na 谩 fhorbairt; iad ag teacht in inmhe agus ag v贸t谩il den ch茅ad uair, agus cuairt Bill Clinton ar Dhoire in 1995. D茅anann siad a machnamh ar an d贸igh ar mh煤nlaigh na heachtra铆 seo a saol oibre agus a saol pearsanta.

The Derry Girls' hilarious take on teen antics in the 1990s has generated international interest in all that is unique and different about the people of Derry City.

We follow four former pupils of Thornhill College 鈥� the inspiration for the fictional girls' school in the Derry Girls series and alma mater of author Lisa McGee 鈥� as we explore their experience of the school and city in the 1990s.

The girls recall memories of lifelong friendships and inspiring teachers. They look back at their trips to the Gaeltacht, their awareness of emotionally charged political change as the peace process developed, their coming of age to vote for the first time, and the visit of Bill Clinton to Derry in 1995. They reflect on how this all shaped their subsequent work and life.
