The Cathach and FAS eLearning

The Cathach was officially launched on Monday 21st September 2009 in Sligo Central Library. Both well established published and novice writers as well as Cllrs Gerry Murray, Tony McLoughlin and Hubert Keaney and TD Eamon Scanlon were present for the occasion which Sligo Libraries hope will be the start of a long fruitful road in the recognition and subsequent electronic publishing of Irish Writers.

The first edition brings together fiction and non-fiction, poetry and drama, as well as a pictorial essay in portraiture. It includes both Irish and international writers, prize-winning authors alongside some whose work is being published for the first time. As a further, twenty-first century chapter in this story perhaps, all of the authors included in The Cathach have given their work freely. It has been our aim to present it here in a way that complements that generosity, and with the hope that it will lead you to further reading of their work.
