President Higgins will welcome Ms. Éilis Ní Dhuibhne, Laureate for Irish Fiction, to Áras an Uachtaráin on a courtesy call.
Éilís Ní Dhuibhne was appointed Laureate for Irish Fiction in July 2025
The Laureate for Irish Fiction is an initiative of the Arts Council. The role seeks to acknowledge the contribution of fiction writers to Irish artistic and cultural life by honouring an established Irish writer of fiction, encouraging a new generation of writers, promoting Irish literature nationally and internationally and encouraging the public to engage with high quality Irish fiction.
