Translating Ireland presents Sinéad Mac Aodha, the Executive Director of Literature Ireland, in conversation with Laois author, Helen Cullen. Together they will explore the work of this important national agency that is responsible for the international promotion of Irish Literature. A not-for-profit organisation, Literature Ireland is funded by Culture Ireland and the Arts Council: it has funded the translation of over 2,500 works of Irish literature into 58 languages around the world. Helen will also share her insights, as an author of novels published in translation, on the experience of being translated and the positive impact of the work on the career of Irish authors.
