Ó Buachalla – what’s that in English?

Published on February 5, 2013 by in As Gaeilge, Media, Slider, Sport

It was early yesterday morning and the text read loud and clear. “Irish Times tar éis ainmneacha Choláiste Eoin a aistriú go béarla…” The text was from my brother and like me he is a former pupil of Coláiste Eoin in Stillorgan, the Irish language secondary school. The text went on some more but the gist of it being that a colleague of his, and parent of one of the current pupils in Coláiste Eoin, had spotted that the write up in The Irish Times sports supplement which should have referred to her son, his team mates and his school

Tee Jee Four!

Published on January 5, 2012 by in As Gaeilge, Entertainment, Media, Social Media, Sport

It never surprises me when people get their goat up about the Irish language. Let’s remember that most people of an older generation resent it for the hours of Peig torture, while getting caned across the hand for not getting their séimhiú and their gutaí right. For a younger generation it is all about the points and the CAO and the college and what relevance does a mandatory subject have when they will get no benefit whatsoever from it in the long run. Why they say? Why the hours? Why the effort? Why the gaeilge? And why the TG4? This

I Roinn Dá gCuid Fhéin!

Published on August 23, 2011 by in As Gaeilge, Entertainment, Media, Sport

Le déanaí dheineas clár ar Raidío na Life le John Barker (@totallyirish98 ar Twitter) faoi cúrsaí spóirt in Éirinn (I Roinn Dá gCuid Fhéin) agus go háirithe an difríocht idir na leibhéil éagsúla sna spóirt. D’fhéachamar ar spóirt ar nós sacar, CLG, rugbaí gan abhras ach chomh maith leis sin d’fhéachamar ar rothaíocht, cispheil, dornálaíocht agus cricéad fiú. Pé scéal é, seo dhaoibh na pod-chraoltaí ar an gclár…roinnt aoí a bhí againn? Bernard Dunne, David Henry, Donnacha Ryan, Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh agus daoine eile nach iad. Bain taitneamh astu! http://www.mixcloud.com/IRoinnDGF/uploads/

There’s a New Hashtag in Town – #FocFri

Published on June 24, 2011 by in Current Affairs, Entertainment, In The Papers Today, Media, Social Media

There is any amount of “grá” within the walls of Pembroke Towers for the “gaeilge”. In fact, we have quite a few in the office that claim to have more than a “cúpla focal” but are without “cleachtadh”. “Tá na báid go domhain sa bhfarraige” is often used as an ice breaker in meetings and quite often people throw on the “citeal” to make a cup of “tae”. You could say that we are one “fada” short of a Governemnt grant or two such is the “grá” in here for “ár dteanga dúchais”. Such is the “grá” that a number

Céim Siar Maidir le Stádas na Gaeilge ó Thuaidh

Published on June 3, 2010 by in Current Affairs, In The Papers Today, Politics

Léas ar maidin alt san Irish Times agus ar suíomh an BBC go bhfuil breithimh i dTuaisceart na hÉireann tar éis cinneadh a thógaint maidir le gaeilge a úsáid sna cúirteanna. Deineadh an cinneadh seo a thógaint de bharr cás a ghlac Caoimhín Mac Giolla Catháin. Cúlra an scéil ná gur iarr an tUas. Mac Giolla Catháin ar na cúirteanna dúiche ceadúnas óil sealadach a bhronnadh ar an gCultúlann i mBéal Feiriste a bhí ag cur ceol choirm ar siúl. Ball é an tUas. Mac Giolla Catháin de Ghaeltacht Bhóthar Sheoighe agus dhein sé an iarratas tré mheán na gaeilge. Dhein na cúirteanna dúiche an iarratas

Slán le Darragh!

Published on February 17, 2010 by in Current Affairs, In The Papers Today, Media, Sport

Fógraíodh ag am lóin inniu ar RTÉ Raidío na Gaeltachta go bhfuil réalt iomaí cluiche caide na Ríochta, Darragh Ó Sé, tar éis éirí as. I measc na gradaim a bhain sé amach bhí sé bhonn Uile-Éireann, naoi bhonn Mumhan agus trí ghradam All Star. Chomh maith leis sin bhain sé amach Craobh Club na hÉireann leis an Ghaeltacht sa bhliain 2003/04. Ach, cén tionchar a bheidh ag an scéal seo ar thodhchaí caide Chiarraí? Nuair a chuireann tú san áireamh go bhfuil Tadhg Kennelly, Tommy Walsh agus Sean O’Sullivan caillte ag Ciarraí chomh maith i mbliana, níl aon dabht ná gur

Peyton "the Gaeilgeoir" Manning!!

Published on February 15, 2010 by in Current Affairs, Entertainment, Media, Social Media, Sport

So…there is only 3 minutes and 24 seconds to go in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XLIV…the Colts are 7 points down but in possession…Peyton Manning, their quarter back, is facing a 3rd and 5…apart from being down in the game, everything is going well in his world and in the world on the Indianapolis Colts…he is throwing well and they look calm and assured… Then he is intercepted for the one and only time in the whole game. By Tracy Porter. 74 yards later, TD New Orleans Saints. Effectively game over. So what happened to the normally solid

Fáilte Roimh Foinse!

Published on January 6, 2010 by in Current Affairs, In The Papers Today

In aineoinn gurb í eagrán an lae inniu an séú eagrán den nuachtán Foinse agus an nuachtán mar fhorlíonadh den Irish Independent, seo an chéad eagrán atá léite agam. Mar chúlra stop Foinse (príomh nuachtán náisiúnta na gaeilge) ag foilsiú go neamhspleách i Samhradh 2009 de bharr easpa aontais idir úinéíri an pháipéir agus Foras na Gaeilge maidir le maoiniú an pháipéara. In aineoinn iomaí cruinniú níor éirigh leo teacht ar réiteach agus stop an páipéar ag foilsiú le deichniúr fostaí lán aimseartha dí-fhostaithe dá bharr (bhí breis is caoga saor iriseoir fostaithe chomh maith acu) sa Cheathrú Rua. Ach
