Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin

Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin is a writer, musician and publisher, originally from Aghamore, County Mayo in Ireland.

With the creation of TG4 in 1996 and the concomitant rise of an Irish-language television industry in the West of Ireland, Mac Dhonnagáin resettled in the Conamara Gaeltacht in 2000, where he continues to work freelance as a screenwriter, most notably the Irish Film and Television Awards[5] and Celtic Media Festival,[6] award-winning teenage drama show Aifric.

The company has over 100 books in print, a mix of work originated by Irish writers and illustrators as well as inward translations from French, German and English.

Futa Fata also sells rights of its original publications internationally; its book have been published in eleven languages across the world.

In 2007 Mac Dhonnagáin was named Uachtarán an Oireachtais, an honorary title given by the Irish language festival Oireachtas na Gaeilge, which was being held in Westport that year.
