Flann O'Brien 2025, Cross Border Ulster Scots and Irish Language Project

Facilitated by Donegal County Council's Library Service, Irish Language writer Dubhán Ó Longáin and Ulster Scots writer Alan Millar will work with young people in two schools in Donegal and two schools in Strabane to create poems and stories drawing on the rich Irish, English and Ulster Scots linguistic heritage of the area. 

It is hoped that a number of the poems and stories will be written will then be published to coincide with the the Flann O Brien Symposium in Strabane in June 2025. Brian Ó Nualláin who also wrote under the pen-names Flann O’Brien and Myles na gCopaleen was born just over the border in Strabane, County Tyrone, and he wrote in both English and Irish.
