Introduction:<br />
On behalf of Limerick <strong>County</strong> Council I would like to welcome<br />
you to the 14th annual <strong>Éigse</strong> <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Hartnett</strong> <strong>Festival</strong>,<br />
<strong>County</strong> Limerick’s prestigious literary & arts festival. Spirit and<br />
imagination are at the heart of this year’s programme. Leading<br />
Irish and international poets, writers and thinkers collide with<br />
musicians, dancers, singers and storytellers, what <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Hartnett</strong><br />
termed ‘the harp side of the Irish coin’. Events that are bound to<br />
enthuse, stimulate, inspire, and occasionally bemuse, celebrate the<br />
literary and oral legacy of <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Hartnett</strong>, the poet and man.<br />
Hosted throughout the town of Newcastle West, in the library,<br />
schools, the courthouse, church, hospital and pubs, the breadth of<br />
the programme creates an ambience of warmth and conviviality<br />
that lends itself to lively gatherings, easy conversation and spirited<br />
debate.<br />
<strong>Éigse</strong> <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Hartnett</strong> opens on Thursday, April 25th – 27th<br />
Bí linn agus fáilte.<br />

Micheál Ó hAirtnéide 1941-1999<br />
Rugadh ar Mhicheál Ó hAirtnéide sa<br />
Chaisleán Nua Thiar i 1941. Thosaigh sé ag<br />
scríobh go luath ina shaol agus d’fhéach sé<br />
air féin mar oidhre ar thraidisiún liteartha na<br />
bhfilí Gaelacha. Le linn a shaoil, d’fhoilsigh<br />
sé níos mó ná fiche gcnuasach filíochta, agus<br />
rinne sé aistriúchán ar theangacha éagsúla<br />
chomh maith. Déanann <strong>Éigse</strong> Mhicíl Uí Airtnéide céiliúradh ar an<br />
traidisiún literartha mar aon leis an traidisiún béil – ar Mhicheál<br />
Ó hAirtnéide mar fhile agus mar fhear.

unique tone and driving rhythm, Harry has come<br />
to be recognised as one of the most distinctive<br />
