Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Áth Buí  /  St. Patrick's Day in Athboy

  http://athboyparade.com/

Tá Paráid Átha Buí ar siúl gan stad anois le 25 bliain anuas.  Cuireadh tús le Paráid 2008 go hoifigiúil ar an 14ú Márta in Óstán an Darnley.  Bhí sólaistí ar fáil ann agus Éamonn Mac Donnacha a bhí i mbun an cheoil.  Bhí an Paráid féin ar siúl ar an 16ú Márta agus ghlac go leor grúpaí pobail agus gnólachtaí páirt ann. Bhronn Conradh na Gaeilge duais don fhuinneog siopa is fearr a léirigh úsáid na Gaeilge agus ba é Tim Lodge ó shiopa Chrua-Earraí Arrow a bhuaigh an chéad duais. Comhghairdeas leis.  Bronnadh na duaiseanna ar Oíche Fhéile Pádraig in Óstán an Darnley. 

This year Athboy proudly celebrated its 25th St. Patrick's Day Parade, The Parade was launched on Friday 14th March in The Old Darnley Lodge Hotel at 9.00 pm with Light Refreshments and Music by Eamonn Mac Donnacha. The Parade took place on Sunday 16th March 2008 at 12.30. Many businesses, clubs and organisations in and around the town entered a float of display. Conradh na Gaeilge presented a prize to the shop window which best promoted the Irish language. This prize was won by Tim Lodge, Arrow Hardware. The presentation of the awards and the announcement of 'Community Personality of the Year' took place in The Old Darnley Lodge on Monday 17th March.

Comharthaí Sráide Nua san Uaimh / New Bilingual Street Signs in Navan

Comhghairdeas le Comhairle Ceantair Uirbigh na hUaimhe as ucht na Comharthaí Sráide Nua atá curtha in airde ar fud an bhaile. Tá siad an-ealaíonta, éasca le léamh agus sa deireadh thiar thall, tá deireadh le cló Italics don Ghaeilge. 110% do mhuintir na hUaimhe agus tá súil againn go mbeidh comharthaí den saghas  seo in Áth Buí amach anseo.

Navan Urban District Council are leading the way with the new bilingual street name signs that are proudly placed all over the town. They are artistic and at the same time very functional and easy to read. At long long last we are seeing the end of Irish being written in Italics. 110% to the people of Navan and we hope that similar signs will soon be used in Athboy.

Ciorcal Cainte / Fáilte roimh gach duine.
