Micheál Ó Conghaile (writer)

Micheál Ó Conghaile (born 1962) is an Irish-language writer who lives in Indreabhán, County Galway, Ireland.

[1] In 1985 Ó Conghaile founded the Irish-language publishing company Cló Iar-Chonnacht.

It is one of the few such companies that employ full-time editors, and he founded it because many Connemara poets and writers were still unpublished.

He believes in the importance of publishing both popular works and those with a very high literary standard.

He has translated Martin McDonagh's plays The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Lonesome West.
