Cuireann muid aithne ar Phàdraig MacAoidh, an Makar úr – file náisiúnta na hAlban – atá ina chainteoir dúchais as Oileán Leòdhais, agus formhór a chuid filíochta scríofa aige i nGaeilge na hAlban. Cluineann muid faoin Dúshlán 2025 do dhaltaí meánscoile agus mic léinn, atá á reáchtáil ag Conradh na Gaeilge. Agus tá Lorcán Mac Mathúna, amhránaí agus cumadóir, linn le labhairt ar Gile na Gile, ceolchoirm bheo ag an fhéile Imbolc i nDoire, spreagtha ag saothar an fhile chlúitigh, Aogán Uí Rathaille.

We meet Pàdraig MacAoidh, Scotland’s new national poet or Makar, a native Gaelic speaker from the Isle of Lewis who writes his poetry primarily in Gaelic. We hear about Conradh na Gaeilge’s Dúshlán 2025 challenge, which is aimed at second and third level students. And the singer and composer Lorcán Mac Mathúna joins us to talk about Gile na Gile, a performance at the Imbolc Festival in Derry which is inspired by the work of the celebrated poet, Aogán Ó Rathaille.
