Mothers Against GenocideThis column makes no apologies for writing so much about the genocide in Palestine and the urgent need for ceasefires and a peace process.  At least 14,000 babies face imminent death from starvation. Over 60,000 Palestinian children, women, men have been killed, including more than 4,000 since Israel ended its ceasefire in March. One especially harrowing example of Israel's murder machine at work was the deliberate targeting last Friday of the family home of Hamdi and Walaa al-Najjar, two doctors who work at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. As Hamdi was at work nine of her ten children were killed. Her husband and a 10th child was left critically ill.Mothers Against Genocide have stood up against this savagery and for the rights of the Palestinian people. Sue Pentel and Martine McCullough are active in this campaign. Sue has been a political activist all her life. My earliest memory of her is as a member of Women against Imperialism over 40 years ago. Sue is a Gaeilgeoir who has worked for decades promoting the education of our young people through the medium of Irish. She is also a committed advocate for the rights of the people of Palestine and last weekend she and her friend Martine were arrested by the PSNI and charged with ‘criminal damage' to an ATM at Barclays Bank in Castle Place in Belfast City Centre. The so-called criminal damage was the placing of a sticker on the machine as a reminder of Barclays role in selling Israeli war bonds.‘If I Must Die'There will be a public event this Saturday – 31 May - about the ongoing genocide. The venue is St Comgalls/Ionad Eileen Howell and it starts at 7.30pm. Chairing the meeting, which is sponsored by the Bobby Sands Trust, will be Dr Brendan Ciaran Browne, Associate Professor of Conflict Resolution. The main speaker will be Yousef M. Aljamal On the International Wall in Belfast there is a poem by Refaat Alareer, ‘If I Must Die' which he wrote for his daughter, Shaymaa, who would grow up to be an accomplished illustrator. It is very poignant because the Israelis went on to kill Refaat, along with his sister, brother and four of nephews and nieces, eighteen months ago. Give the vote to 16-year-old citizens. The debate on reducing the voting age to 16 is gathering momentum. Twice in the last decade the Assembly – minus the DUP - has endorsed the call for the vote to be reduced in the North from 18 to 16. Several years ago Sinn Féin introduced a Bill in the Oireachtas to allow for this in southern elections and last week An Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that he had an “open mind” on such a proposition and would give it “serious consideration.”The Commission on the Future of Ireland are hosting 'Health & Care in a New Ireland' on the 6th of June, 1pm at St Comgalls, Belfast.Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/health-care-in-a-new-ireland-tickets-1354804690299 

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an ceathrú lá fichead de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá gorta faoi lán seoil in Gaza. Tá sé fógartha ag ceannaire gnóthaí daonnúla na Náisiún Aontaithe, Stephen Fletcher, go bhféadfadh 14,000 páiste bás a fháil mura gcuirtear bia ar fáil dóibh láithreach. In ainneoin cáineadh forleathan ón bpobal idirnáisiúnta, níor cheadaigh Iosrael ach naoi leoraí cúnaimh isteach i nGaza, cé go bhfuil níos mó ná 2.3 milliún duine ocrach le beagnach trí mhí. I dteachtaireacht físe ar na meáin shóisialta, dúirt Príomh-aire Iosrael, Benjamin Netanyahu, go bhfuil Iosrael chun smacht a fháil ar Gaza ar fad. Mar gheall ar an ngéarchéim atá ag dul in olcas, cháin Príomh-aire na Ríochta Aontaithe, Keir Starmer, Iosrael agus é ag labhairt os comhair na parlaiminte níos luaithe sa tseachtain. Bíodh sin mar atá, sheachain sé úsáid a bhaint as na focail ‘glanadh eitneach' nó ‘cinedhíothú', agus níor gheall sé ach oiread go stopfadh sé ag díol arm le hIosrael.Tá fáilte curtha ag Gaeilgeoirí i dTuaisceart na hÉireann roimh an gcinneadh tuairim is 100 comhartha dhátheangacha a chur suas i gContae an Dúin agus i gContae Ard Mhacha. Cé go raibh polaiteoirí Aontachtacha ina choinne le sé bliana, tá sé deimhnithe anois ag an dá chomhairle contae go mbeidh na comharthaí le feiceáil go luath. Leanann sé seo le polasaí na gcomhairlí contae an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn. Úsáidtear comharthaí dátheangacha cheana féin ar fhoirgnimh údaráis áitiúil sna ceantair seo. Tagann an scéal seo ag an am céanna go bhfuil mic léinn ag Ollscoil na Banríona agus Ollscoil Uladh ag éileamh comharthaí Gaeilge ar an gcampas.Tá painéal imreoirí roghnaithe ag bainisteoir fhoireann sacair ban na hÉireann, Carla Ward, don dá chluiche dheireanacha i Sraith na Náisiún. Imreofar an chéad chluiche in aghaidh na Tuirce thall in Iostanbúl an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn, agus beidh siad ar ais sa bhaile an tseachtain dár gcionn in aghaidh na Slóivéine i gCorcaigh. Má tá seans ar bith acu críochnú ar bharr an ghrúpa, caithfidh siad an dá chluiche a bhuachaint. Tá Erin Healy, tosaí le Adelaide United san Astráil, ar an bpainéal den chéad uair riamh, chomh maith le Louise Quinn sula n-éireoidh sí as sacar gairmiúil go hiomlán.

David Brett joins to explain what Gaeilgeoir AI is and how it can be used to efficiently learn Irish

Pat Leahy and Jennifer Bray join Hugh for our weekly Irish politics wrap:Did Taoiseach Micheál Martin call Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald a liar, in breach of arcane Dáil rules? Our panel of lapsed Gaeilgeoirí struggle to analyse the linguistic nuances of what Martin said, but identify an underlying political attitude. Minister for the Arts Patrick O'Donovan this week kitchen-sinked the news that the Arts Council wasted millions on an IT system that didn't work. The story adds to a perception of wastefulness in public spending, but could be an opportunity for the new Minister to prove himself. Housing became the other big issue of the week when the Taoiseach hinted at changes to the system of rent pressure zones. The pressure is on Martin to deliver on housing before he hands back over to Simon Harris - can he make a dent? Plus the panel pick their favourite Irish Times articles of the week, on P.G. Wodehouse, the art of mingling and what happens when power goes to a leader's head. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My guest this week, Caoimhín, is a talented musician, an Irish Language advocate, a creative storyteller and a gentle soul, as his name "Caoimhín" suggests. In this soothing episode, Caoimhín takes us from his childhood all the way into his adult life where the common denominator was, and still is, music. He is a gifted traditional musician and plays various instruments including the banjo, flute and fiddle. Caoimhín adores traditional Irish music and he claims he enjoyed it even when it wasn't as cool as it is today! Despite his love and respect for the music in its traditional form, he has been known to add a kick drum or a sub base to ancient Irish songs as seen in his latest single, Bímse féin ag iascaireacht. The complex layer of trance and dance which he adds to the music has allowed him to preserve Irish music while adding to it, which he believes is a beautiful way to modernise and have fun with traditional components of our music. Caoimhín is a Gaeilgeoir but highlights the importance of lifelong learning and even shares some innovative tips and tricks on how to practise and incorporate the language into everyday life. This episode is not to be missed - I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with Caoimhín. Be sure to follow Caoimhín on Instagram at @caoimhinceol to keep up to date with his latest projects. Go raibh míle maith agat, a chara - Thank you, friend. Ba mhór an pléisiúr é - It was a great pleasure!

ON Saturday night I was privileged to attend the oíche mhór Ghlór na Móna in Belfast's City Hall. The event was to celebrate twenty years of this amazing Irish language initiative made up mostly of and aimed at young people in the Upper Springfield area. It was a great night. Packed out with young Gaeilgeoirí. But there was also a good clatter of veteran campaigners. The pioneers who gave us the Shaws Road Gaeltacht, An Chultúrlann, Lá, Raidió Fáilte, An Meánscoil (now Coláiste Feirste), an Cheathrú Ghaeltachta and many other wonderful cultural and communal creations, including a thriving Irish medium education sector.Protest and book launchMoore St THE threat by English developer Hammerson to demolish much of the 1916 Moore Street Battlefield site in Dublin was given the green light by An Bord Pleanála several weeks ago.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to talk to Conchobhar Ruadh (B.S.c Psychology), who is a hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and advocate of the Irish language. His work explores decolonisation and our relationship to an Ghaeilge. Conor is also a Gaeilgeoir raising his child through Irish and currently in his first year of a shamanic apprenticeship. We speak about the healing nature of relearning our native tongue, and the antidote that is to intergenerational trauma, including addiction, shame, and pain. Conchobhar ardently extols the benefits of raising children through Irish. We emphasise renouncing perfectionism and throwing off the shackles of judgement and underconfidence in order to reach your potential. Bainigí taitneamh as! Enjoy it!

Manchán Magan is a writer, traveller, documentary maker, Gaeilgeoir and polyglot. He is a very necessary presence in Irish culture right now as interest in the Irish language and Pre-Christian Ireland grows and grows. I was introduced to his work by my girlfriend late last year and was pulled by his incredible passion for the Irish language and myth. He describes in powerful detail how the language provides us with a much more rich, more mystical and interconnected perspective on the world compared to the English language that was forced onto us. His recent work can be seen as a plea to ponder the significance of an island losing its native language and as a rising call to explore the Irish language and myth with greater curiosity if one feels the call. This podcast covers all of this in more detail and insightfully highlights how the Portal of language and mythology can push us to feel a tighter connection to our ancestors and to our land. This conversation was an absolute pleasure for me and I hope it was just as powerful for you. https://www.manchan.com

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine léite go mall. * Inniu an t-ochtó lá is fiche de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh. Tháinig na mílte daoine amach ar shráideanna Bhéal Feirste Dé Sathrain seo cáite in agóid ar son cearta teanga ó thuaidh. Tugadh an t-ainm "An Lá Dearg" ar an lá stairiúil seo, nuair a shiúil 17,000 duine ó Chultúrlann McAdam ó Fiaich go dtí Halla na Cathrach i mBéal Feirste, gléasta in éadaí dearga chun reachtaíocht Ghaeilge a éileamh. Tá fearg ar na daoine seo nach bhfuil Gaeilgeoirí abálta an Ghaeilge a úsáid go cothrom i dTuaisceart Éireann. Tháinig daoine ó achan coirneál den tír, le cur in iúl do pholaiteoirí go bhfuil siad ag fanacht go fóill. Gheall Comhthionól Chnoc an Anfa agus Rialtas na Breataine Acht Gaeilge mar chuid den phacáiste cúlturtha sa chomhaontú "New Decade, New Approach" in 2020, agus Dé Céadaoin, faoi dheireadh thar thall, tógadh reachtaíocht maidir le Gaeilge agus Ultais araon isteach in Westminster. Tháinig ardú €15.55 billiún ar shaibhreas na mbilliúnaithe in Éirinn i rith Covid, dé réir tuairisc úr a rinne an carthanas Oxfam. Is é sin ardú 55% ar shaibhreas na ndaoine seo, 15 billiúnaí san iomlán, a thógann méid airgid eatarthu go €55 billiún. Dúirt Jim Clarken, stiúrthóir Oxfam in Éirinn gur brabúsach an rud é an phaindéim do na daoine seo, agus gurb é an t-ardú costas maireachtála a lean an phaindéim a thug seans do bhilliúnaithe níos mó airgid a thuilleadh. Idir an dá linn, a deirtear sa tuairisc "Profitting from Pain", tá dúshlán mór roimh na milliúin daoine faoi latháir agus iad ag iarraidh dul i ngleic leis an ardú atá tágtha ar an chostas maireachtála. Tá grúpa mac léinn ó Ollscoil Rutgers in New Jersey Mheiriceá tagtha go hÉirinn an tseachtain seo le staidéar a dhéanamh ar na seirbhísí meáin chumarsáide atá ar fáil trí mheán na Gaeilge agus an tacaíocht atá ar fáil don teanga agus don chultúr Gaelach. Tháinig dhá dhuine dhéag, atá ina mic léinn cumarsáide, go hÉirinn ag tús na seachtaine. Caithfidh siad am sa Cheathrú Rua, i nGaillimh agus i mBaile Átha Cliath. Déanfaidh na mic léinn staidéar ar obair Raidió na Gaeltachta, a cheiliúir 50 bliain ar an fhód le déanaí, agus TG4, agus casfaidh siad le hionadaithe ón dá sheirbhís. I mBaile Átha Cliath tabharfaidh siad cuairt ar Chonradh na Gaeilge agus ar cheanncheathrú Chumann Lúthchleas Gael i bPáirc an Chrócaigh.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an cúigiú lá de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Oisín Mac Conamhna. Tá ionradh na Rúise ar an Úcráin ar siúl, go mall agus go tubaisteach, in aghaidh frithbheartaíocht dhian mhuintir na hÚcráine. Thosaigh Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin an t-ionradh orthu chun, mar a dúirt sé, dínaitsíú a dhéanamh ar an Úcráin, cé nach bhfuair páirtí atá i bhfad amach ar an eite dheis acht 1.6% den vóta i dtoghchán na huachtaránachta. Tá comparáid déanta ag tráchtairí eile idir Putin féin agus Hitler, agus cogadh talún tosaithe aige san Eoraip. Ní féidir an focal ‘ionradh' a chur ar an cogadh taobh istigh den Rúis ar mbaol géibhinn, agus dúnadh stáisiúin raidió agus teilifíse shaora dheireanacha na Rúise an tseachtain seo as sin a dhéanamh. Tá an-mheas buaite ag muintir na hÚcráine ar fud an domhan as a seasamh láidir i gcoinne an ionraidh, faoi cheannasaíocht chróga a n-Uachtarán Volodymyr Zelenskyy, agus seans go bhfuil an cogadh straitéiseach caillte ag an Rúis cheana. Tá iarratas ballraíochta ar an Aontas Eorpach déanta ag an Úcráin agus an tSeoirse; agus mar gheall ar an t-uafás roimh an ionradh ar fud an domhain, tá na smachtbhannaí eacnamaíochta, cultúrtha agus spóirt is láidire riamh curtha ar an Rúis, agus a mbainc caite amach as an gcóras idirnáisiúnta, an banc ceannais ina measc, rud nach bhfacthas roimhe seo. Tá seans go bhfágfaidh na smachtbhannaí geilleagar na Rúise in anchaoi; acht faoi láthair tá daoine ag básadh agus cathracha á scriosadh san Úcráin. I Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá, tá an coiste comhdháile atá ag déanamh fiosrúchán ar an ionsaí ar an Capitol tar éis an toghcháin anuraidh i ndiaidh cúiseamh comhcheilge coiriúla a chur ar Donald Trump. Rinne Trump achomharc agus is cosúil go gcuirfear moill ar an bpróiseas anois agus nach mbeidh air teistíocht a dhéanamh go luath. Do mhol Trump Vladimir Putin faoi thrí le gairid, mar fhear an-cliste, ag tús an ionraidh ar an Úcráin, acht ansin cháin sé an marú atá ar siúl, gan ainm Putin a lua. Agus in Éirinn, tharla Ard-Fheis Chonradh na Gaeilge an deireadh seachtaine seo caite i nGaillimh, an chéad cheann san fhíorshaol ó tháinig COVID ar an domhan. Toghadh Paula Melvin mar Uachtarán an Chonartha, an tríú bean riamh. Seoladh Seachtain na Gaeilge go hoifigiúil san ionad siopadóireachta An Fhaiche Mhór; agus bronnadh duais ar Uachtarán na hÉireann ag dinnéar speisialta Dé Sathairn. I mBaile Átha Cliath oíche Déardaoin, tharla an chéad PopUp Gaeltacht ó thús na paindéime, agus an teach tábhairne plódaithe leis na céadta Gaeilgeoirí. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Martin Nutty, all 6 foot 4 inches of him,  burst onto the global Irish community scene in 2020 when he fetched up alongside the previously-minted local New York Irish community celebrity John Lee, to stand up the innovative Irish Stew podcast.    From the throes of the pandemic in 2020 to the current reemergence, he and John have roped in dozens of amazing members of the Global Irish Nation, and in doing so are helping to define it.  And Martin has the voice that is the envy of all male podcasters, one as deep as he stands tall.  (Now, John Lee's radio voice is not too shabby either!).  Together they make a dynamic duo.Martin didn't get into podcasting because it's the latest "thing".  It's the result of a long and unfinished search for meaning and connection.  It began, in his words–and Martin has more words in his vocabulary than you can shake a stick at–as an avocation, i.e. a serious hobby, to transmit his inner life out into world.   Blogging, writing about his father, was the initial broadcast channel, but this then progressed to audio and his podcast, The Nutty Chronicles.  From there it was on to 'the Stew'.  So what will our pensive podcaster explore next?  Wherever it is, we'll be tracking him.  =======================================Martin's Podcasts:Irish Stew Podcast (with a fine review) The Nutty ChroniclesSinger/Songwriter Rosa NuttyMore about Martin's Sister sister.What is a Gaeilgeoir?======================================Thanks to Purple-Planet  for music, and to FreeSound for sound FX,  and music too.Learn more about Celtic Irish American Academy.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an t-ochtó lá de mhí Eanáir. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh. Ar Lá na Bliana Úire, i ndiaidh feachtas fada, tugadh lánstádas oifigiúil don Ghaeilge san Aontas Eorpach. Ba mheán oíche ar an 31ú Nollaig an uair a chríochnaigh maolú a bhí ar stádas na Gaeilge san Aontas Eorpach. Cuireann an t-athrú seo an teanga ar comhchéim le teangacha bhunaitheoirí an Aontais, agus ghlac Gaeilgeoirí na hÉireann an t-éacht seo mar éacht suntasach. Síltear go mbeadh méadú 70% ar an mhéid reachtaíochta a aistreofar go Gaeilge sa Choimisiún ó seo amach. Dúirt Uachtarán na hÉireann, Micheál D. Ó hUigínn, gurb í an bhliain seo 2022 an bhliain le hiarracht mhór a dhéanamh ar son na teanga. Tá reacht úr curtha i bhfeidhm i bPoblacht na hÉireann a chuireann íosteorainn ar an phraghas ar a ndíoltar alcól. Ní cheadaítear buidéal caighdeánach fíona a dhíol ar phraghas níos ísle ná €7.40, nó canna beorach níos lú ná €1.70. Dúirt An tAire Sláinte, Stephen Donnelly, gur cruthaíodh an reacht chun tinneas agus básanna bainte le handúil san alcól a isliú. Moladh do pholaiteoirí Stormont dlí comhchosúil a chur i bhfeidhm sa tuaisceart, ach tá meon an phobail scoilte, agus daoine ag rá nach gcuideoidh an dlí úr seo leis an fhadhb atá againn leis an alcól, muna bhfuil tacaíocht cheart agus seirbhísí eile ar fáil fá choinne daoine a bhfuil andúil san alcól acu. Chuir Carrie Lam, ceannaire Hong Cong, cosc ar eitiltí ag teacht isteach sa tír ó ocht dtír an tseachtain seo. Mairfidh an cosc coicís. Ní bheidh cead teacht isteach ag eitilití ó na Stáit Aontaithe, ó Cheanada, ón Astráil, ón Phacastáin, ó na hOileáin Fhilipíneacha, ón Fhrainc, agus ón India. Tá beartas “nialas-Covid” ag Hong Kong, agus tá an cosc seo ar cheann de na srianta nua atá curtha i bhfeidhm ag an tír beagnach dhá bhliain i ndiaidh thús na pandéime. Tá na srianta nua seo sa tír ar na cinn is déine ar domhan faoi láthair. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

San eagrán seo rinne mé plé ar ceard is brí le bheith i do Ghaeilgeoir. Labhair mé faoi mo thaithí leis an teideal sin agus an t-am ian cheap mé nach raibh mo Ghaeilge maith a dhóthain chun 'Gaeilgeoir' a chur orm féin. Bhí réalt TikTok Leah Ní Mhurchú liom comh maith chun plé a dhéanamh ar an obair a bhfuil déanta aici chun an teanga a chur chun cinn ar líne agus níos mó ná sin a taithí a roinnt faoi feachtais Acht na Gaeilge ó thuaidh. Na chail é!!!

Irish speakers are referred to in Ireland as a community, a lobby group or even a kind of secret society: a bloc of people with specific and predictable values and objectives, distinct from the mórchultúr of mainstream Irish society. This expresses itself in many forms, from characterisations on radio debates to the sexual othering of Irish speakers (the "hot Gaeilgeoir" stereotype). The truth is, of course, that Irish speakers stand in the same queues as anybody else. You might even be going out with one! In fact, most of the Motherfoclóir regulars are currently dating outside the flock. But what are the realities of such mixed relationships like? In today's episode, Darach and Clodagh meet author Valerie Loftus and Derek O'Brien, her fluent fella. They talk about Oireachtas widows, slipping into Irish, defending the language when there's no Irish speaker around and the "ecumenical matter" approach to bluffing a conversation as Gaeilge. Valerie's book "Thanks Penneys" is published by Mercier Press and available in bookshops now. You can check out Gaelchultúr's courses at http://gaelchultur.com/en/home.aspx --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.

Somewhere in the Gaeltacht, a local man (whose first language is Irish) is accused of assaulting another Irish speaker with a broken bottle. What language should the trial be held in? If it is to be in Irish, is the jury a random sample of the defendant's peers? In today's episode, Gearóidín tells Darach and Clodagh all about the remarkable case of Ó Maicín vs Ireland, where a defendant took his fight to be heard by an Irish-speaking jury all the way to the Supreme Court. It's a case that raises questions about the power of language, the role of judges and of legislation, the paradoxes of multilingual jurors in multilingual trials and the perils of interpretation. The perils of jury duty - and the lengths people go to in its avoidance - also get considered. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.

As former British colonies with lots of green on their flags, where St. Patrick is the patron saint and where Guinness is hugely popular, Nigeria and Ireland are countries with plenty in common. In this week’s episode, Ola Majekodunmi talks to Darach and Gearóidín about being a Gaeilgeoir of Nigerian heritage, her favourite words in Irish and Yoruba and much more.

Neal Ó Riain is the boy across the road who your Mam compares you to. He literally has a PhD in Astrophysics, a fine job in London and – of course – fluent Irish. However, Neal is sweeter than his native Carlow’s sugar refineries, and gave the world @antainbot (The best bot on Twitter) and Aireamhan, a coding language based on Irish. He tells Darach and Gearóidín all about it on today’s episode, and they chat about language issues in science too. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.

In July 2014, Donegal TD, Joe McHugh became Minister of State with responsibility for Gaeltacht Affairs. Only problem? Last time Joe spoke Irish was in school. He had to learn the language fast.
