Daoine Iomráiteacha as Luimneach

Liosta de dhaoine mór le rá as Luimneach, a tiomsaíodh ón Rannóg Staidéar Áitiúil agus ó na bailiúcháin tagartha ag Rannóg Staidéar Áitiúil Luimnigh. Ní liosta uileghabhálach é, ach tá sé cuimsitheach go leor - thagraíomar do amach agus isteach ar 100 foinse tagartha caighdeánach agus staidéar áitiúil chun é a chur le chéile.

B’éigean roinnt critéar a chur i bhfeidhm maidir le cuimsiú agus, go ginearálta, níor áiríomar ach daoine a raibh cur síos orthu i níos mó ná foinsí áitiúla amháin. Rinneamar eisceacht nó dhó maidir leis an gcur amach seo (e.g. bhí tábhacht mhór ag baint le Peadar Tait i Luimneach sa 19ú haois ach níor cuireadh san áireamh é i bhfoinsí tagartha neamh-áitiúla).

Féach liosta na ngiorrúchán thíos le haghaidh foinsí.

Top, l-r: George Alexander Osborne, Richard Harris, William Henry Harvey, Al Finucane, Ciarán Mac Mathúna, Dolores O’Riordan

Bottom, l-r: Ellen Hanly (The Colleen Bawn), Frederick Langbridge, Kathleen Clarke, Michael Hogan (The Bard of Thomond), Mick Mackey, Johnny Duhan
