An Saol Sona - Leabhar mhí na Bealtaine 2026 | May's Book of the Month 2026
[English version below] Colscartha óna bhean, caidreamh ar éigean aige lena mhac, ní thuigeann Éric cén chaoi a ndeachaigh a shaol amú air oiread. Léas solais atá i ndeis nua oibre, a cheanglaíonn arís é le seanchara scoile agus a thugann go cathair Seoul é, ach ní mhaireann an solas sin i bhfad. Tógfaidh sé eispéireas as an ngnáth le cabhrú le Éric na rudaí tábhachtacha sa saol a aithint… Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Anna Heussaff agus Cian Ó Dubhshláine [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] Divorced from his wife, struggling to keep a relationship with his son, Éric doesn’t understand how life went so wrong for him. A ray of light comes in the form of a new work opportunity, one that reconnects him with an old schoolmate and takes him to Seoul, but even that light soon falters. It will take a rather novel experience to help Éric recognise the important things in life… Presenter: Seán Ó Catháin Guests: Anna Heussaff and Cian Ó Dubhshláine

Glórtha an Tráthnóna - Leabhar mhí Aibreáin 2026 | April's Book of the Month 2026
[English version below] Faoi ainm cleite a foilsíodh an chéad úrscéal a scríobh Natalia Ginzburg i 1942, ach fán bhliain 1947 bhí sí saor le scríobh faoina hainm féin. Tháinig rabharta úrscéalta uaithi as sin amach, mar aon le haistí, gearrscéalta, agus eile. Áirítear í ar mhórscríbhneoirí Iodáilise a linne. I 1961 a tháinig Le voci della sera amach. Tá an scéal suite i mbaile tuaithe in iarthuaisceart na hIodáile sna 1940í. Ríomhtar an scéal trí shúile mná óige, agus faightear spléachadh ar a saol siúd agus ar shaol na gcomharsan, go háirithe ar imeachtaí an dream ar leo an mhonarcha ar a bhfuil an dúiche ar fad beo. Tá cúrsaí polaitiúla agus sóisialta i gceist, chomh maith le cúrsaí grá agus pósta, rudaí nach ritheann go réidh do dhuine ar bith san áit, agus ní taise do bhean inste an scéil é. Tá lámh éadrom ag an údar ar an insint, agus súil ghéar, agus cluas ghéar, agus ligtear do phearsanra an scéil iad féin a léiriú, an-mhinic, trí ráitis a mbéil féin. Ón eagrán Iodáilise a d’fhoilsigh Einaudi i 1971 (athchló 1979) a aistríodh Glórtha an Tráthnóna. Aistrithe ón Iodáilis ag Máire Nic Mhaoláin, buaiteoir Ghradam de Bhaldraithe, 2024. Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: aitlín Nic Íomhair agus Oisín Montanari [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] Our primary narrator in Voices in the Evening is Elsa, an as-yet-unmarried woman of a certain age—dismaying her hypochondriac mother—who describes the colorful natives of this small village. Her dialogue is rich, ranging from amusing character studies to heartbreaking developments, all of which subtly reflect a society rebuilding itself after tremendous loss. Ginzburg’s work often focuses on individuals in the time around World War II, when many isms—Communism, Fascism, Catholicism, Nationalism—provided conflicts across Italy, and within communities and families. Though the political context is important in understanding the nuances of her work, Ginzburg’s talent, and how fresh these stories still feel, is in her note-perfect characterizations. The many political frictions offer a context, but it’s these imaginary/real people who are front and center. Presenter: Seán Ó Catháin Guests: Caitlín Nic Íomhair and Oisín Montanari

Na Bróga Peile agus Scéalta Eile - Leabhar mhí an Mhárta 2026 | March's Book of the Month 2026
[English version below] Póg neamhcheadaithe; déantúsán luachmhar a aimsíonn déagóir sa Bhoireann; ciceanna pionóis le glacadh; duine óg ag glacadh páirt sa chlár teilifíse Cé Ar Mhaith Leis A Bheith ina Mhilliúnaí?; aisteoirí amaitéaracha ag dul amach ar stáitse den chéad uair agus go leor eile. Cnuasach spreagúil atá anseo a thugann an léitheoir ar thurais éagsúla: chuig óige an scéalaí i gCorcaigh; chuig cathracha iasachta ar nós Sydney na hAstráile, Manchain agus Londain i Sasana; chuig Oileán Bharra in Albain; chuig Ardoifig an Phoist le linn Éirí Amach na Cásca 1916 agus chuig Láthair an Áir sa bhliain 1914. Is as Cathair Chorcaí ó dhúchas do Sheosamh Céitinn. D’fhreastail sé ar Choláiste na hOllscoile Corcaigh. Chaith sé breis is tríocha bliain ag múineadh na Gaeilge i mBaile Átha Luain sula ndeachaigh sé ar scor sa bhliain 2022. I measc na leabhar atá foilsithe aige tá Tomás Oileánach (1992) faoin údar Gaeilge mór le rá, an leabhar gramadaí Graiméar don Mheánscoil (Mentor Books 2012) agus bhí sé ina chomhúdar ar an tsraith Maoin (Mentor Books 2009) chomh maith leis an leagan nua den tsraith a foilsíodh sa bhliain 2020. Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Katie Whelan agus Jody Buckley-Coogan [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] This is the first short story collection by Seosamh Céitinn. An unexpected kiss; a teenager stumbles across a valuable object in the Burren; tense penalty shootouts; a young contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?; amateur actors stepping onto the stage for the very first time—and plenty more. This is a captivating collection that takes readers on a variety of journeys: back to the author’s childhood in Cork; to faraway cities like Sydney, Manchester, and London; to the remote Scottish island of Barra; into the General Post Office during the Easter Rising of 1916; and to a haunting massacre site in 1914. Seosamh Céitinn was born and raised in Cork City. He attended University College Cork, where he earned both a BA and an MA in Modern Irish before completing a Higher Diploma in Education. He spent over thirty years teaching Irish in Athlone before retiring in 2022. He published his first book, Tomás Oileánach, in 1992, about the well- known Irish-language writer Tomás Ó Criomhthain.

Bódléar - Leabhar mhí Feabhra 2026 | February's Book of the Month 2026
[English version below] I mbaile beag ar an gcósta thiar, gach samhradh, cumann an máistir scoile dán ar son mhuintir an bhaile agus tugann leis ó dheas chuig Cúirt Mhór na bhFilí i gCúige Mumhan é. Tar éis na cúirte, tugann sé dánta is amhráin nua na bhfilí Muimhneacha abhaile leis. Bíonn muintir an bhaile ag súil go mór leis na hamhráin nua, agus reachtálann siad oíche mhór le fáilte abhaile a chur roimhe. I mbliana, tá Bódléar tagtha aneas agus cantal air. As seo seo amach, cumfaidh sé “filíocht nua,” a deir sé, “filíocht níos fírinní!” Ach nuair a chloiseann muintir an bhaile na dánta nua “gan cheol gan rithim”, tagann uafás agus alltacht orthu. An sagart féin, fógraíonn sé na ‘filí mallaithe’ ón altóir. Úrscéal é seo a phléann leis an athrú a bhí ag teacht ar shaol agus ar chultúr na tuaithe ar fud na hEorpa san 19ú haois. Ceiliúradh freisin é ar dhomhan na bhfilí Muimhneacha agus ar an ngaol speisialta a bhí againn leis an bhFrainc. Bhuaigh an leabhar seo Duais an Oireachtais 2024 agus Gradam Uí Shúilleabháin ‘Leabhar na Bliana’ 2025 Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Úna Nic Cárthaigh agus Ava Ní Loinsigh [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] In a village on the west coast of Ireland, every summer, the local poet is sent south to Munster to represent his village at the great gathering of poets. And each year, he composes a new poem for the occasion and, more importantly, he brings home new poems and songs. The people of the village love the songs he brings back to them, and organize a big night every year to welcome him home. But this year, the poet has returned in a foul humour. From now on, he will compose “new poetry, truer poetry!” he says. But when his new “rhymeless and toneless” poems are heard, the locals are horrified…. Bódléar is a novel with a light comic touch, a romance that deals with the changes in life and the ways in which people deal with them.

Bhuaigh an scéal seo duais do shaothar spioradáltachta ag Comórtais Liteartha an Oireachtais 2024. Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Sorcha de Brún [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] - Shortlisted for 'Irish Language Fiction Book of the Year' at the An Post Irish Book Awards 2025 Versions of most of these stories were previously published in the author’s column ‘Crobhingne’ in The Irish Times at Christmastime over the past twenty years. Some could be described as fables or imaginative retellings of Bible stories. Others are tales inspired by modern-day Christmas consumerism. ‘Lá Breithe’ is a longer story about Jesus’ childhood. No version of this story exists in the New Testament at all, at all. This story won a prize in the spiritual writing category at the 2024 Oireachtas Literary Competitions.
