Bhí slua deas i
láthair in Ostán an Darnley le h-aghaidh Cruinniú
Cinn Bhliana de C.C.É. I measc na rudaí a pléadh,
bhí Cóisir na Nollag. Beidh sé ar siúl i Lóiste Dhún
Doire ar an Déardaoin, 11 Nollaig. Tá ticéid ar fáil
ó Ena McKiernan ar 086 3140507.
Beidh Ceolchoirm na Nollag i Halla Naomh Séamus in
Áth Buí ar an 14 Nollaig ag a 3 a chlog. Bíonn an
cheolchoirm seo fíor spéisiúla i gconaí mar tugtar
cuireadh do gach páiste dhul ar an ardán . Is ócáid
mhór í seo do na gasúir agus a ngaolta.
Beidh Turas Ceolmhar go Londain ar an 14,15,16ú Feabhra don
deireadh seachtaine . Níl na pleananna go
léir socraithe fós ach beidh seó agus seisiúin i
gceist san Ionad Ghaelach i Hammersmith. Má tá suim
agat ann, cuir glaoch ar Ena 0863140507 nó ar
Chaitríona 087 9471323.
Leanfaidh na céilithe mar is gnáth ar an tríú
deireadh seachtaine den mhí agus rang damhsa seite
gach Déardaoin sa halla i nDún Doire.
Beidh Rang Sean-Nóis gach Mháirt i Halla Naomh
Seamus Áth Buí.
Beidh Ranganna Ceoil agus amhránaíochta gach Luain
agus Aoine sa bPobal Scoil in Áth Buí.
Rinneadh cinneadh mór ar an oíche go n-athrófaí ainm
na Craoibhe chun aitheantas a thabhairt don líon mór
gasúir atá ag freastal ar ranganna ón gceantar
máguaird. 'Sé an t-ainm nua ná: C.C.É. Tlachtga, Co na
Mí. Ar ndóigh, is áit fíor stairiúil í Tlachtga. |
There was a good attendance at the Comhaltas
Ceoltóirí Éireann A.G.M. in the Darnley Hotel. Among
the items discussed were:
Cóisir na Nollag (Christmas Party) which will be held in
11th Dec in Dunderry Lodge. Tickets are available
from Ena ar 086 3140507.
Ceolchoirm na Nollag (Christmas Concert) will be
held in St. James Hall on the 14 Dec. at 3.00pm.
This is a very interesting concert ever year because
all the children are asked to perform on stage. It
is a big event for the
children and their relations.
There will be a musical tour to London on the 14,
15, 16th February. Plans are not yet finalised for
this tour but there will be a session in the
Irish Centre in Hammersmith. If you are interested
in going on this tour contact Ena on 0863140507 or
Caitríona on 087 9471323.
Céilithe will be held as usual on the third weekend
of the month and set dancing classes every Thursday
in Dunderry hall.
Sean -Nós classes will be held every Tuesday in St.
James Hall.
Music and singing classes will take place every
Monday and Friday in the Community School.
A big decision was made on the night to change the
name of the branch in order to take into account the
large numbers of children attending classes from the
surrounding area. The branch will now be known as
C.C.É. Tlachtga, Co. na Mí, taking the name of the
historic hill in centre of this area. |

Comhghairdeas do Mheitheal
Forbartha na Gaeltachta agus bainisteoir Mheitheal
na Mí, Gearóid Breathnach as ucht an dlúthdhíosca
agus DVD a sheoladh de cheoltóirí agus amhránaithe ó
Ghaeltachtaí na Mí. Tá ocht nóiméad ag tús an DVD ar
stair Ghaeltachtaí na Mí, agus roghnaíodh na h-amhránaithe
agus na ceoltóirí ó Bhaile Ghib agus ó Ráth Chairn.
Is fiú go mór é a cheannach mar Bhronntanas Nollag.
Bronnadh Gradamacha Fhéile na Mí ag
Dinnéar na Féile ar an 20ú Samhain i Lóiste Dhún Doire.
Bronnadh Gradam Cultúrtha na Gaeltachta ar Leo Mac
Oireachtaigh as Dún Doire. Tá blianta fada caite ag
Leo ag obair ar son an Chonartha. Is tábhairneoir i nDún Doire
é agus tá an teach tábhairne seo ag muintir ‘Geraghty’ le trí glúin
anuas. Labhair Leo ar a mhí na meala a chaith sé fhéin
agus a bhean i nGaeltacht Chiarraí agus ar na
cuairteanna a thug siad ar an gceantar sin ó shin i
leith.
Bronnadh Gradam Uí Ghramhnaigh ar Simon Ó Cróinín ar
son a chuid oibre le h-Áth Buí le Gaeilge agus as
ucht an obair atá déanta aige ag eagrú ranganna
Gaeilge do dhaoine fásta sa gceantar. Labhair Simon
ar an n-gá atá le deiseanna chainte a eagrú le h-aghaidh
foghlaimeoirí. Mhol sé an scéim ‘Cara
le Gaeilge’ atá ar bun i Ráth Chairn mar shampla
an-mhaith chun dul chun cinn a dhéanamh. |

Congratulations to Meitheal
Forbartha na Mí and to their manager Gearóid
Breathnach on the launch of a new CD and DVD of
singers and musicians from the Meath Gaeltachtaí.
There is an 8 minute doc/drama at the start of the
DVD on the history of the Meath Gaeltachtaí and the
singers and musicians were all from Ráth Chairn
and Baile Ghib. Well worth it for a nice Christmas
present.
The Féile na Mí Awards were
presented on the 20th Nov. at Dinnéar na Féile in
Dunderry Lodge. Leo Geraghty from Dún Doire received
the Gradam Chultúrtha na Gaeltachta award. Leo has
been active in Conradh na Gaeilge for many years. He
is a publican in Dún Doire and his pub has been in the Geraghty
family for three
generations. He spoke of his honeymoon in the Kerry
Gaeltacht and of the many holidays he and his wife
have spent in that region.
Simon Ó Cróinín received Gradam Uí Ghramhnaigh for
his work with Áth Buí le Gaeilge and organising
Irish language classes for adults. He spoke of the
need to create opportunities for learners to speak
Irish in the company of fluent speakers. He
praised the ‘cara le Gaeilge’ initiative in Ráth
Chairn as a very good example of how to make
progress. |
