‘Cá ndéanann tú siopadóireacht ar Inis Meáin, a Aedín?’

Thug mé cuntas an tseachtain seo caite ar an gceist is mó a chuirtear orm nuair a chloiseann daoine go bhfuil cónaí orm in Inis Meáin na Gaillimhe – “Agus cad a thug ann duit an chéad lá?”

Craoltóir, scríbhneoir agus Gael. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Thar na blianta, chruthaigh sé & chuir sé i láthair an t-uafás cláracha do TnaG & TG4. Tá oidhreacht shaibhir fágtha aige dúinn a thabharfaidh inspioráid don chéad ghlúin eile 🕯️
