Ceathrar Cailíní Dhoire: Four ‘Derry Girls’ reflect on school and city life in the city in the 1990s
Ceathrar Cailíní Dhoire: amharcann ceathrar 'Cailíní Dhoire' siar ar saol na scoile agus saol na cathrach sna 1990s
The Derry Girls’ hilarious take on teen antics in the 1990s has generated international interest in all that is unique and different about the people of Derry City.
In Ceathrar Cailíní Dhoire (Four Derry Girls) we follow four former pupils of Thornhill College in the city – the inspiration for the fictional girls’ school in the Derry Girls series, and alma mater of author Lisa McGee – as we explore their 1990s experience of the school and city.
Thornhill had, and has an exceptionally strong Irish language department, and this is reflected in our contributors’ memories of life long friendships and inspiring teachers, their trips to the Gaeltacht, their awareness of emotionally charged political change as the peace process developed, including the visit of Bill Clinton to Derry in 1995, and how this all shaped their subsequent work and life through the Irish language.
Ceathrar Cailíní Dhoire features Mary Nic Ailín, Mary Durkan, Ciara Ní Lochlainn and Claire Nic Ruairí.

Is léir gur spreag ‘Derry Girls’, seó faoi gheáitsíocht scléipeach déagóirí sna 1990í, suim idirnáisiúnta i ngach rud atá uathúil agus difriúil faoi mhuintir Chathair Dhoire.
In Ceathrar Cailíní Dhoire leanaimid ceathrar Cailíní ó Dhoire a d’fhreastal ar Choláiste Chnoc na nDealg – inspioráid scoil ficsin na gcailíní sa tsraith Derry Girls, agus alma mater an údair Lisa McGee – agus muid ag amharc ar a dtaithí scoile agus cathrach.
Bhí, agus tá fócas rí-láidir ar an Ghaeilge ag Cnoc na nDealg, agus tá sé seo le feiceáil in eispéiris ár rannpháirtithe óna cuimhní buana atá acu ar chairdeas ar feadh an tsaoil agus ar mhúinteoirí inspioráideacha, a gcuid turas chun na Gaeltachta, a n-eolas ar an athrú polaitiúil mothúchánach le forbairt an phróisis shíochána, agus cuairt Bill Clinton go Doire san áireamh, agus mar a mhúnlaigh sé seo a gcuid oibre agus a saolta trí Ghaeilge ina dhiaidh sin amach.
In éineacht le Mary Nic Ailín, Mary Durkan, Ciara Ní Lochlainn agus Claire Nic Ruairí.
