Imeartas Focal is a collection of Irish language word puzzles, the first of its kind, created by Eoghan Mac Cormaic and just published by pluid.ie.

The 200 puzzles are in the style of 'dingbats' or unusual twists on the spelling or meaning of a word or a phrase hidden within the puzzles. The author says that the book is 'food for thought for Gaeilgeoirí'. 

The author has many years experience in creating Irish language games and crossword puzzles but is probably better known for his recent books of poetry and non-fiction about his time as a republican prisoner and for the research into previously neglected aspects of imprisonment from Fenian times to modern times.

While Imearats Focal may appear to be light-hearted escapism the author, a long-time Irish language activist, has compiled the puzzles so that they can be both entertaining and educational.
