Congratulations to Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin on the publication of his award-winning novel Madame Lazare. Originally written in Irish, it has now been translated into German by Elvira Veselinović, as well as into Serbian and Estonian. Future editions are forthcoming in Polish, Romanian and Macedonian. It was published in Germany by Kröner Verlag this year. The novel has done fantastically well in Germany and has now been longlisted for the Hot List 2026 of books from smaller independent publishing houses. This is a great achievement, and we wish him all the best!

Did you know there are currently 12 GAA clubs (Gaelic Football, Hurling and Camogie) in Germany, including senior teams and youth clubs. There are also national teams that compete at the GAA World Games.
But today we want to wish all the best to the Limerick senior hurling team competing in the all Ireland final against Galway.

Many congratulations to the Deutsch-Irische Gesellschaft Würzburg! They celebrated their 40th anniversary on 11 July. See https://lnkd.in/dYJA62r3.
Founded by Jürgen Gottschalk, who generously donated his wonderful book collection of (mainly) German material on Ireland to CIGS (we’ll have free guided tours of our book collection starting in September) and now led by Matthias Fleckenstein, they offer a great programme of events https://lnkd.in/dJaj73cN. Lovely to see that Irish ambassador H.E. Maeve Collins and Traute Gottschalk, Jürgen’s widow attended.
