Last year I had the honour of being a judge for the Irish language category in the Irish Blog Awards. The eventual winner was the lovely Hilary NY (no, not that Hil(l)ary). Anyway, I’ve happened to come across the longlist for this year’s award in this category, Best Use of the Irish Language in a Blog (like Colm Keena, I have no intention of telling you where I got it). A fine bunch of blogs. Watch out for the official longlists coming soon at http://awards.ie/blogawards/.
