An file Gabriel Rosenstock básaithe. Poet and writer Gabriel Rosenstock has died at the age of 76. Tá an file agus scríbhneoir Gabriel Rosenstock tar éis bháis agus é 76 bliain d’aois. His family confirmed his death this evening in a statement about “an international poet who brought many of the world’s great writers to the attention of Irish language readers“. A chlann a dheimhnigh a bhás tráthnóna i ráiteas faoi “fhile idirnáisiúnta a chuir go leor de mhórscríbhneoirí na cruinne faoi shúile lucht léitheoireachta na Gaeilge”. He believed “in the power of poetry” they said “and in the ability of poetry to build bridges between cultures”. Chreid sé “i gcumhacht na filíochta” a dúirt siad “agus i gcumas na filíochta droichead a thógáil idir cultúir”. “He was a prolific and restless soul who published over 400 books.” “Anam torthúil agus corrach a bhí aige a d’fhoilsigh breis is 400 leabhar. We will miss him, all of us who knew him and read his writing. Aireoidh muid uainn é, iad siúd go léir a raibh aithne againn air agus a léigh a chuid scríbhneoireachta. “At the right hand of God, may his soul rest in peace.” Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.” Gabriel Rosenstock spoke for several weeks to the Irish Independent and Raidió na Gaeltachta – speaking with his broadcaster son Tristan on the programme “The Man Who Was Never Born” – about his cancer which had spread, the treatment which was no longer working and his acceptance before his death. Labhair Gabriel Rosenstock le roinnt seachtainí leis an Irish Independent agus le Raidió na Gaeltachta – ag caint lena mhac an craoltóir Tristan ar an gclár “An fear nár saolaíodh riamh” – faoin ailse a bhí air a bhí tar éis scaipeadh, faoin leigheas nach raibh ag feidhmiú a thuilleadh agus faoina nglacadh a bhí aige roimh an mbás. He was keeping a diary about his time with the illness and his attitude towards it. Bhí sé i mbun dialainne faoina thréimhse leis an tinneas agus a dhearcadh ina leith. He spoke courageously to Nuacht TG4 a few days before his death, looking back on his life and forward to eternity. Labhair sé go misniúil le Nuacht TG4 cúpla lá sular cailleadh é, ag breathnú siar ar a shaol agus chun cinn chun na síoraíochta. He was born in Kilfinane in Co. Limerick.
