Tá'n fhuiseog ag seinnim 'sag

Beacha 's cuileoga is blátha ar

Tá an chuach is na héanlaith ag

Thugamar féin an Samhradh linn.

Thugamar féin an Samhradh linn.

Maidhc Stíofánín Seoighe ag croitheadh láimh leis an
Aire Trevor Sargent TD. Bhí Maidhc ar dhuine de na
daoine a tháinig aniar sa bhliain 1935. |
Muintir Ráth Chairn ag déanadh iontais den leac nua
álainn don chéad uair. |
|
Nochtadh leac mhór le h-ainmneacha na
dteaghlaigh ar fad a d’aistrigh go Ráth Chairn faoi Scéimeanna Choimisiún na Talúna suas go dtí an
caogaidí sa nGairdín Chuimhneacháin i Ráth Chairn ar
an 27ú Meitheamh 2009. Trevor Sargent TD a nocht. De
bharr na leice seo, déanfar cinnte de go
gcuimhneofar ar na daoine d’aistrigh go Ráth Chairn
an chéad lá ariamh i 1935. Ba dhaoine misniúla iad
agus tá ómós mór ag dul dóibh siúd a bhí sásta teach
agus teaghlach a aistriú go dtí oirthear na tíre.
Coinneoidh an leac seo a n-ainmneacha in airde go
buan le h-aghaidh na nglúnta atá le teacht.

A monument with the names of the families who
came to Ráth Chairn under various Land Commission
Schemes up to the 1950’s was unveiled in the Gairdín
Cuimhneacháin in Ráth Chairn on the 27 June at
7.00pm by Trevor Sargent TD. This monument will
ensure that we never forget the people who relocated
to Ráth Chairn in 1935. They were a courageous group
of people and we admire those who brought their
families to the east of the country.
This monument will immortalise their names for ever
for the generations still to come.

Bhuail Jack Mór isteach
ar Mhuintir Átha Buí /
Jack Dropped in to say Hello
|
|
|
|
Bhí Jack ag caint ag ocáid
baillithe airgid i gcomhair an RNLI agus ag dinnéar
Óspís na Mí. |
Jack was
speaking at a fund raising function for the RNLI and
The Meath Hospice Dinner. |

An Bhfuil do Ghairdín ag
Fás? / Is your garden growing?
|
|
  
Nil na Píseanna seo siad
ataithe fós / Fátaí tar éis an spray a chur orthu /
is gearr go mbeidh an beetroot seo réidh
These peas are
doing well / Potatoes after being sprayed for blight
/ This beetroot will soon be ready
|
Tá an gairdín faoi bhláth go h-iontach anois.
Tá roinnt de na barranna réidh le hithe – leitís,
biatais, oinniúin bheaga agus cabáiste.
Níl na bláthanna ach ag teacht ar na fátaí anois
agus ní bheidh siad réidh le n-ithe go dtí go
dtitfidh na bláthanna. Bí cinnte go gcuirfidh tú
spray Dithane nó eile ar do chuid fátaí i gcoinne an
dúcháin. Tá an chontúirt is measa ann le linn aimsir
té toirniúil. Maidir le na fátaí a cuireadh sa
mbairille, ní bheidh a fhios againn cé chomh maith is
ar éirigh leis an triall go dtí an mhí seo chugainn
Níl na h-oinniúin ag déanamh chomh h-iontach sin i
mbliana mar go bhfuil go leor acu ag dul chun síol.
Ní thuigeann muid ó Dhia anuas cén fáth – an bhfuil
fhios agatsa?
Tá na piseanna ag déanamh go hiontach ach níor
thosaigh siad ag at go fóill. Tá Swedes curtha
anois, níl sé ró-mhall fós iad a chur ach is gearr
go mbeidh.
Coinnigh súil amach sna siopaí i gcomhair plandaí
cabáiste agus broccoli le cheannach don gheimhridh.
Beidh tú in ann iad a chur sa talamh nuair a
bhainfear na fátaí.
Is gearr go mbeidh na pónairí (broad) réidh le baint
ach beidh sé píosa fós sula mbeidh na runner beans
réidh. Tá an dá ghlasra seo an-fheiliúnach le
haghaidh an reoiteoir. |
The vegetable garden is in full show now. Some
of the crops are ready for eating – lettuce,
beetroot, scallions and cabbage.
The flowers are only starting on the potatoes, they
will not be ready to harvest until well after the
flowers have withered. Don’t forget to spray with
Dithane or some other product against blight. The
risk of blight is worse in thundery close weather.
We will not know for another month how our
experiment with the potatoes in the barrel has gone.
Onions are not doing well this year as too many of
them are running to seed. We cannot understand why
this is happening – do you know know?
Peas are doing well but the pods have not started to
swell yet. The Swedes are planted, its not too late
to plant yet but it soon will be.
Keep a look out in the shops for winter cabbage and
broccoli plants. These can be planted out as soon as
the spuds are harvested and the ground is free.
The broad beans will soon be ready to harvest but
the runner beans will be a while yet. These two
vegetables are very suitable for freezing.

Turas go dtí an Fhrainc /
Midsummer Trip to
France |
|
 |
| Mar chuid d’imeachtaí An Choiste Nasctha Bailte,
chuaigh grúpa ó Áth Buí agus Ráth Chairn ag casadh
cheoil i nGleann an Autonne i dtuaisceart na Fraince
i gcomhair cheiliúradh oíche Fhéile Tine Sheáin. Sa
phictiúr thuas tá na ceoltóirí Ghaelacha
timpeallaithe ag slua mór de mhuintir an ghleanna i
mbaile beag darbh ainm Morienval. An-oíche go deo a
bhí ann. |
As part of the Athboy Twinning Association
activities, a group from Athboy and Ráth Chairn
preformed in the Autonne Valley in northern France
for the St. Johns’ Night midsummer celebrations. In
the picture you can see the Irish musicians
surrounded by a large crown of people from the
valley in the small village or Morienval. A great
time was had by all. |
