In commemoration of the centenary birth of author Máirtín Ó Cadhain 'Cré Na Cille' is the darkly humourous tale set in a Conamara cemetery, which portrays the intense jealousy and hatred between two sisters, Caitríona and Nell which worsens with age and continues into the afterlife.

Dhá mbeadh mo chlann sa mbaile agam
an oíche a bhfaighinnse bás,
Go dtórróidís go croíúil mé
trí oíche 's trí lá;
Bíodh na píopaí fada cailce dhom
na ceaigeannaí is iad lán,
'S beidh triúr ban óg ó shléibhte
le mé a chaoineadh os cionn cláir.

Ar dhul siar thar Inse Ghainimh dhom
bíodh a' bratach in a' a crann,
Ná cuirigí i Leitir Caladh mé
mar ní ann atá mo dhream.
Ach tugaigí siar go Maínis mé,
áit a gcaoinfear mé os ard,
'S Beidh soilse ar na dumhchannaí....
