Catalan Interview

Conchúr Ó Giollagáin was recently interviewed for El Diari de la llengua, "a digital publication specialising in Catalan that also includes news related to other languages, especially minority languages."

The interview was conducted during his lecture tour in Valencia, Catalonia, and Occitania, by the journalist Raül Garcia i Aranzueque. In addition to keeping readers informed about initiatives in defence of the language throughout the Catalan Countries, the Diari de la llengua also offers in-depth reports and interviews.

In this interview, Conchúr talks about his own introduction to Irish, and offers commentary on how the language is faring in contemporary Ireland. Points of comparison are also drawn with the situation of Catalan.

The text of the interview is given in Catalan, but you can access automatic translation into many other languages through the website.
