Faoin mblag seo / About this blog
I have a passion for sustainable development internationally particularly in the big picture in developing countries although I naturally think we should have sustainable development everywhere and I am involved in some sustainable organisations and initiatives. I also have a big interest in some political and many social matters and actively pursue my interest and involvement in them. I have a BA in Journalism. I do my writing or most of it online particularly on Politics.ie and I also write sometimes on other sites. I have been writing online since 2003 although I only consciously see myself as being a writer since late 2010/2011. I write a lot about the Irish language because there is either little or no involvement promoting the Irish language in the community outside of the education system on most of the island. The more engagist writers and activists we have debating and promoting (in whatever way we can) the Irish language the less I will see a need to advocate for it's promotion and the rights of Irish speakers.
I got my degree in Journalism in 2004 and for three years was a member of Gael-Taca until 2007. From then until 2011 I was a community journalist on NearFM in Coolock in Dublin presenting my own current affairs version of the daily Irish language programme "Ar Muin na Muice" once a week between 2009-2011. I am a volunteer now with Raidió na Life on Merrion Square since 2011. Raidió na Life is broadcast (106.4FM) ALL over Dublin and to parts of some neighbouring counties.
Not many people read my blog so I don't post on it anymore. Here you will find a record of some of my favourite interviews from NearFM, NearTV and Raidió na Life and my e-project that I started in 2009 of all the new residential areas named in Irish during the last few years of the property boom which I have since updated to include all the residential areas with Irish names on the island irrespective of when they were built. I have over 600 areas included and would appreciate being let know of any others that are not on it so I can add them to it. You can find me on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin also.
