Böcker av Micheal O Conghaile

A humorous and insightful look at the origins of some of Ireland's more colourful and interesting words.

In 'An Island Christmas - Nollaig Oileanach,' Micheal O Conghaile weaves together his childhood memories on the deserted island of Inis Treabhair, Connemara, with the rich traditions of his upbringing, guiding readers through the tapestry of times long past and the enduring essence of family and community.

An intriguing collection of Irish-language expressions with their literal and figurative meanings, some familiar and some more obscure. Will be of interest to tourists, Irish-language novices and even fluent Gaeilgeoirs.
