Language, Resistance and Revival tells the untold story of the truly groundbreaking linguistic and educational developments that took place among Republican prisoners in Long Kesh prison from 1972-2000. During a period of bitter struggle between Republican prisoners and the British state, the Irish language was taught and spoken as a form of resistance during incarceration. The book unearths this story for the first time and analyses the rejuvenating impact it had on the cultural revival in the nationalist community beyond the prison walls. Based on unprecedented interviews, Feargal Mac Ionnrachtaigh explores a key period in Irish history through the original and insider accounts of key protagonists in the contemporary Irish language revival.

Northern Ireland women’s football team captain Marissa Callaghan has played with Cliftonville Ladies since 2005, winning a Women’s Irish Cup with the north Belfast club in 2015.
Capped 62 times for Northern Ireland to date, scoring six goals, she represented her country at Under-15, U17 and U19 level before making the step up to the seniors just over a decade ago.
Under Marissa, the team are headed to the Women’s Euro 2022 play-offs in April, but she admits one of her career highlights was her first game as captain, picking up two goals at Solitude in front of a home crowd.
