Ar maidin, le linn Cónochta an Fhómhair, soilsíonn solas na gréine isteach sa phasáiste agus sa seomra atá ar Shliabh na Caillí. Tá an carn mheigiliteach seo tuairim is 5000 bliain d’aois.  

Tá íomhánna d’éirí gréine an Chónochta ar an 22ú Meán Fómhair le feiceáil anseo:-

Tá an-áthas ar Choiste na mBailte Slachtmhara go bhfuil gradam rannóg na mbailte bheaga ‘Tidy Towns le Gaeilge,’ duais €1000, buaite ag Baile Átha Buí don dara bhliain as a chéile.  

Comórtas ar leith is ea an ‘Tidy Towns le Gaeilge’ agus tá an choiste an-bhuíoch don lucht ghnó agus do mhuintir an bhaile as ucht a gcomhoibriú maidir le h-úsáid na Gaeilge ar chomharthaíocht nua. Tá súil ag an gcoiste gur tuilleadh spreagadh é seo do mhuintir an bhaile chun an Ghaeilge a úsáid sa bpobal.

Bhuaigh Baile Átha Buí duais i gcatagóir C chomh maith ie bailte le daonra idir 1000-2500 duine agus freisin tháinig Áth Buí sa 3ú háit sa chontae ina hiomláine.

Dúirt an Cathaoirleach, Mary Flood, go bhfuil ríméad uirthi faoin dtoradh agus ghlac sí buíochas mór le gach duine a chabhraigh.

Athboy Tidy Towns are very happy to report that the Town has won the small town - baile beag section - Tidy Towns Le Gaeilge Award for the second year in a row, a prize of €1000.
This is a new supplementary competition to Tidy Towns and we are grateful to the businesses and the community for their co-operation in the use of Irish on new signage. We hope that this will encourage more people to use Irish in the community.

Also Athboy won Category C in Meath for towns with population between 1000 - 2500 and was 3rd in the county overall.  Mary Flood, chairperson of the committee is very pleased with this result and wishes to thank all those concerned.

Rugadh Máire Chartúir ( Ni Mhealóid) i gCamus i gConamara ach d'aistrigh a clann aniar sa bhliain 1956. Tá suim mhór ag Máire sa mbéaloideas agus seo roinnt de na rannta bheaga do pháistí a thóg muid uaithi, rannta a bhí an-choitianta nuair a bhí sí ag fás aníos.

Worried about your Irish?

Don’t worry, each and every performance comes with simultaneous translation commentary on your own personal headset or, you can follow the play with the ‘Scene Notes’ - a short review of each scene written in English. ‘Sad, hilarious and irresistable’ Sunday Times

Theatre Company (Ireland’s only professional theatre company, working full-time to deliver all of its shows through Irish language), presents -
‘Stones in his Pockets’ - the award-winning, hilarious and sometimes poignant tale of a quiet Irish community and its change by the arrival of a massive Hollywood movie shoot. Winner of the prestigious Olivier & Evening Standard awards for Best Comedy after running for four record breaking years in London’s West End, it also ran on Broadway, where it received a Tony Award nomination for Best Comedy.

Universally loved by all who see it, ‘Stones in his Pockets’ has a disarming simplistic charm all of its own. The entire story is brought to life by two highly talented actors who play over 15 characters between them in a triumph of characterization and physical comedy. From the two cheeky Irish lads intent on becoming big movie players to the diva lead Hollywood actress, whose Irish accent leaves a lot to be desired, ‘Stones In His Pockets’ stands out as one of the funniest and moving plays of its time.

Tickets €15 full price/€10 concession
