Sa chlár seo, chuaigh Emer O’Hagan i mbun chomhrá leis an bhean ghrinn dhátheangach Áine Gallagher, a bhfuil go leor duaiseanna buaite aici, díreach tar éis di seó iontach a chur i láthair ag Scoil Samhraidh Shéamuis Uí Néill.

Cé gur chuid dá saol an Ghaeilge i gcónaí, ní raibh an teanga ina tosaíocht aici i gcónaí ná ina cuid lárnach dá saol. Léiríonn sí cad a mheall chuig an teanga sa deireadh í, conas a fuair an teanga áit ina cuid grinn, agus cén fáth gur dóigh chomh cumhachtach é an greann chun nasc a dhéanamh le féiniúlacht agus le cultúr.

In this episode, Emer O’Hagan chats with award-winning bilingual comedian Áine Gallagher, fresh from her brilliant performance at the Séamus Ó Néill Summer School.

Though the Irish language has always surrounded Áine, it wasn’t always front and centre in her life. She shares what eventually drew her in, how the language found its way into her comedy, and why humour is such a powerful way to connect with identity and culture.
