‘Reflecting on the Irishness of Eugene O’Neill’ - Speech at the Eugene O'Neill Society Gala Dinner by Áras an Uachtaráin

President Michael D. Higgins delivered an address at NUI Galway, ‘Reflecting on the Irishness of Eugene O’Neill’.

Tá an tUachtarán tar éis a mheas ar shaothar an drámadóra Mheiriceánaigh a léiriú, agus dúirt gur “léirigh a dhrámaí mórthéamaí na hamharclannaíochta Éireannaí agus Meiriceánaí: an imirce agus úsáid agus mí-úsáid na cuimhne.“

The President expressed his appreciation of the work of the American playwright, saying his plays “are reflective of the great themes of both Irish and American theatre: migration and the use and abuse of memory."
