Cló Mhaigh Eo

Cló Mhaigh Eo is an Irish-language publishing company based in Clár Chlainne Mhuiris (Claremorris), County Mayo, Ireland. It was founded by Colmán Ó Raghallaigh and his wife, both teachers. The company publishes Irish-language books for children and young people, as well as graphic novels in Irish. Colmán Ó Raghallaigh has served as director since 1995. The company publishes between four and six books each year and receives support from Bord na Leabhar Gaeilge (the Irish Language Books Board). Cló Mhaigh Eo has achieved several notable firsts. It published the first children's book in either English or Irish from Ireland to include an unalterable read-only compact disc. It also published the first Irish graphic novel, An Sclábhaí, which is the first in an imaginative series on Irish history and mythology. The company is praised for the high quality of art and design in its books. The publisher has created a native Irish-language character, Ruairí, who has gained public recognition. More than 5,500 copies of Drochlá Ruairí have been sold across the printed book and the electronic version released by Fios Feasa. More than 5,000 copies of the other Ruairí books have also been sold, including the newer title Ruairí san Ospidéal. Among its published books are An Sclábhaí (2001), An Teachtaire (2003, illustrated by Tomm Moore, telling the story of Saint Patrick), An Tóraíocht (2002, illustrated by Paul Young, about Gráinne, Fionn mac Cumhaill, and Diarmaid), An Táin (2006, illustrated by Barry Reynolds, in which Méabh of Connacht invades Ulster to steal the bull Donn Cuailnge, with Cú Chulainn opposing her), and Deirdre agus Mic Uisnigh (2008, illustrated by Barry Reynolds).
