Angela’s Ashes as Gaeilge at last

BLOCKBUSTER Angela’s Ashes went as Gaeilge yesterday — its umpteenth edition, but the first in the native tongue.

Luaithreach Angela, a limited edition, was launched by Minister for the Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Jimmy Deenihan at the Frank McCourt Museum in Hartstonge Street.

The translation was commissioned by the Limerick Writers’ Centre from writer and translator, Padraic Breathnach.
