We couldn't let this day pass without acknowledging and celebrating some of Ireland's most creative and exciting women. Ón ealaíon chomhaimseartha, go ceol nua ar an sean nós chuig an scannán Gaeilge is tábhachtaí a rinneadh ariamh, tá go leor, leor le ceiliúradh i mbliana agus gach bliain.
Cleona Ní Chrualaoi- Léiritheoir
Cleona and her husband Colm Bairéad are the powerhouses behind An Cailín Ciúin, the most beautiful, heartbreaking film which has made its way to this year's Oscars. Is as Contae na Mí do Chleona agus sular thug An Cailín Ciúin go Hollywood í, bhíodh sí ag plé leis na meáin ó chláracha teilifíse ina measc sin, The Joy, on life inside Mountjoy Prison, Connected agus Cumann na mBan - Mná na Réablóide.
Éist anseo le Cleona ag caint le Morning Ireland faoin scannán a d'athraigh a saol.

Aoife Cawley- Ealaíontóir
Describing herself as a 'celtic bimbo', Aoife Cawley is a printmaker and textiles-based artist from Kildare, Ireland with serious cool-girl vibes.
Is breá linn an greann, na dathanna agus an tslí a úsáideann Aoife mná na hÉireann mar spreagadh ina cuid ealaíne, ó CMAT go Naomh Bríd.
Aoife's work is centred around stories and people from mythological, biblical and historical contexts. She draws inspiration from Celtic art as well as Catholic iconography. These stories are commemorated through the mediums of embroidered textiles and printmaking. The work typically features bold, bright colours to draw attention to the stories, but also to take the past and put it into a modern context.
Tá Aoife ag úsáid na meáin shóisialta lena cuid Gaeilge a úsáid do Sheachtain na Gaeilge, aimsigh í ar TikTok!
