Who are the Irish writers working today who will be read in one hundred years time? That is the question RTÉ Radio 1 asked a panel of literary experts. They selected poets Seamus Heaney, Thomas Kinsella, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon and Nuala Ní Dhomhnail; playwrights Marina Carr, Brian Friel and Tom Murphy and fiction writers John Banville, John McGahern, Edna O'Brien and William Trevor. All twelve have recorded interviews with presenter Mike Murphy and last night the new series, 'Reading the Future', was launched in Dublin.
