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 />
