Labhair an t-údar agus Laureate nua don fhicsean in Éirinn, Eilís Ní Dhuibhne ar an gclár Arena ar RTÉ Radio One faoi na leabhair is fearr i nGaeilge go nuige seo i mbliana.
Luaigh Ní Dhuibhne go bhfuil leabhair d'ard-chaighdeán á gcur i gcló i nGaeilge ach nach bhfaigheann cuid mhór acu cothrom na féinne toisc easpa poiblíochta. Ní Dhuibhne mentions the challenges facing Irish language writers is media coverage, reviews and publicity in English language media. Not being featured in media means that many of the books which readers would enjoy, don't make it to the readers as they don't hear about them.
1. An Ghluaiseacht: Scéal Chearta Sibhialta na Gaeltachta- Rónán Mac Con Iomaire

Scéal Chearta Sibhialta na Gaeltachta a d'athraigh an caidreamh a bhí idir lucht labhartha na teanga agus an stát. Deir Ní Dhuibhne go n-éiríonn leis an údar greann agus stair a mheascadh le chéile go héifeachtach.
