most celebrated writers and publishers, give his views on Irish language
and culture.

Micheál Ó Conghaile established the publishing company Cló IarChonnachta (CIC) in 1985 and the company has since published over 400 books and 200 traditional
Irish music albums. He is himself a prolific and talented writer of
poetry, plays, novels and short stories and he has also worked as a
translator.
