Fuair sé bás AR AN LÁ seo in 1990_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _I suspect that even Seosamh Mac Grianna (1900-1990), a curmudgeonly writer at times, might raise a smile to the fact that a commemorative plaque was raised to him in Saint Anne’s Park, Dublin on 29th May 2023. Mac Grianna lived in a house in the area, since demolished, and a group of local Irish speakers from Raheny and Clontarf have come together to remember his years in the city.

Is this how Taylor Swift fans feel while waiting for tickets for their idol’s upcoming concert? French novelist, Michel Houellebecq, has a new novel out this week, Annihilation. Or, more correctly, Houellebecq has an English-language translation of his 2022 novel in French, Anéantin, being published this week. The French-language version has been well reviewed by this stage – in English too – though this reader has done his level best not to read them.

Poor Cynthia Ní Mhurchú must have drawn the short straw. As reported on this site recently, the Fianna Fáil candidate in the E.U. elections spoke about the importance of the Irish language to her, a thankless task but a box that, oddly, even in modern times, still needs to be ticked by politicians. Ní Mhurchú said that the E.U. parliament was treating Irish as a second-hand language.

There must be something in the, em, holy water. American commentator Candace Owens recently announced her conversion to Catholicism. She was formerly Protestant. Owens, a major media figure in the alternative media, is known for her strong opinions. Indeed, such is her fame that you probably know who she is without the need of an introduction. She has been involved in a number of controversies and has recently parted way with her former employers, The Daily Wire.
