So, so humbled and honoured to represent Ireland tonight by joining @SonzogniMarco @HemiKelly @rawiniahiggins to reflect on the journey in translating Friel’s masterpiece, what it means for Irish & Māori & where we go from here. What a pinch me moment!!

More Irish nationals returning to live in Ireland than emigrating, according to latest CSO figures.

Over the past half decade about 30,000 people coming and going each year.

Nothing like the exodus some claim...because other places also have problems like high housing costs.

Another landmark project is being released this evening at the Auckland Writers Festival. Translations, a play by Irish playwright Brian Friel, has been translated into te reo by author, translator and te reo exponent Hēmi Kelly. https://t.co/MbgVB64gkH

Ka Pai a chairde. A night for the ages as we launched Hemi Kelly’s te reo Māori version of Brian Friel’s Translations at Auckland Writers Festival. Blessed to be joined by Vincent O’Sullivan who wrote a poem for the publication as Seamus Heaney did in 1980.

Looking forward to the Wellington launch of this very special te reo Māori translation of an Irish masterpiece on 30th September. Maith sibh a chairde. Ka Pai. #culture @WellingtonUni @HemiKelly @IrelandinNZ @CnaGAotearoa @foi_nz

One of the features and strengths of our #community here is its diversity with friends from all Four Provinces of Ireland & every part of Aotearoa NZ. As we say in Ireland, there is no strength without unity - ní neart go cur le chéile. @foi_nz
