Comhghairdeas Féile!!Well done to all of those who planned, organised, participated in, or generally contributed to this years hugely successful Féile an Phobail. It was a colourful, imaginative, informative, entertaining, empowering and exhausting couple of weeks. This year's published programme was a weighty volume providing information on over 600 events across the City. It was a mix of  80 debates and discussions, sporting and music events, art exhibitions, as well as the carnival parade and family fun days for children and much more. The concerts in the Park were packed to capacity each night and revellers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Gael Stair – Na h'Abair é, dean é.During Féile I had the honour and pleasure to open an exhibition in Conway Mill on the role of the Irish language and Irish language activists in the social and political history of Belfast. At the heart of the exhibition is the archive preserved by Brighid Mhic Sheáin - one of the founders of the Shaws Road Gaeltacht in west Belfast. Over five decades she diligently collected the Gael Stair archive which reveals how connected the Irish language was with the struggle for social rights, self-determination, and for a better future free from poverty and unemployment.

D'fhógair an tAire Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail agus Gaeltachta, Dara Calleary inné go bhfuil maoiniú de os cionn €250,000 ceadaithe aige do Chomhchoiste Náisiúnta na gColáistí Gaeilge (CONCOS) thar thréimse trí bliana lena gclár oibre a chur i bhfeidhm.

Tá 16 ball de Chomhdháil na Stáit Aontaithe tar éis scríobh chuig Runaí Státchiste na Stáit Aontaithe, Scott Bessent, ag iarraidh go gcuirfí Éire le liosta na stáit a dhéanann baghcatt ar Iosrael má achtaítear Bille na gCríocha Gafa.

Dúirt an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, inné gur chóir do Uachtarán na Stáit Aontaithe, Donald Trump, cuimhneamh go ndéanfar damáiste do chomhlachtaí chogais Mheiriceánacha má chuireann sé a bhagairt táillí importála arda faoi leith a ghearradh ar chogais i bhfeidhm.

Mhol Coiste Airgeadais an Oireachtais inné gur chóir do Bhanc Ceannais na hÉireann athbhreithniú a dhéanamh le fáil amach an féidir leis diúltú do iarratas ó Iosrael leanacht ar aghaidh ag éascú díol Bhannaí an stáit sin.

Tá ardú fógartha ag an Aire Calleary ar na fóirdheontais a íocann a Roinn le teaghlaigh Ghaeltachta agus coláistí cónaithe a chuireann lóistín ar fáil do dhaltaí Gaeilge.

Tá sé molta ag Coiste Oireachtais go mbeadh seirbhísí san áireamh i mBille na gCríocha Gafa. Tá páirtí an Lucht Oibre le tacú le feachtas Uachtaránachta Catherine Connolly.

Inniu, foilseoidh an Comh Choiste Gnóthaí Eachtracha a dtuarascáil réamh reachtaíochta ar Bhille na gCríocha Gafa. Ceaptar go bhféachfaidh an Coiste le seirbhísí a chur san áireamh sa mbille, rud nach bhfuil i ndréacht reachtaíocht an rialtais.

Tá Fianna Fáil ag moladh go mbeadh sé riachtanach go gcaithfeadh gach scoláire Ardteiste freastal ar chúrsa Gaeltachta.

Clinical researchers are set to launch immune-cell therapy clinical trials aimed at tackling treatment resistance in solid tumour, supported by a €11.9 million grant from the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund. The project is being spearheaded by a consortium from LIfT BiSciences, University of Galway, Galway University Hospitals and Hooke Bio. The funding award, announced by Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Peter Burke T.D., and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless T.D., is the largest single grant awarded by the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund to date, with €5.9 million in direct funding going to University of Galway. The consortium will launch the first-in-human clinical trials of a ground-breaking neutrophil-based cancer immune-cell therapy developed by LIfT BioSciences, a client of Údarás na Gaeltachta with an Irish base in An Spidéal, Co. Galway. Neutrophils are part of the first line of defence in the body's immune response. The trial will focus on patients with metastatic cervical and head and neck cancer who have exhausted all standard treatments, including checkpoint inhibitors. Trials, which will be conducted at Galway University Hospitals, are expected to begin in 2026. The grant will support the clinical development of LIfT BioSciences' next-generation cell therapy designed to overcome resistance in solid tumours, known as Immuno-Modulatory Alpha Neutrophils (IMANs). University of Galway will contribute its deep expertise in oncology and cell therapy clinical trials, as well as in translating laboratory research into clinical applications, including predictive biomarkers. Hooke Bio will provide advanced analytical tools to optimise and assess how patients respond to this novel therapy. The study will first establish the safe and effective dose of immune-cell cancer therapy and then combine this treatment with other immune-based therapies to overcome resistance to these cancer treatments observed in some patients. Professor Sean Hynes, Consultant Histopathologist and Translational Cancer Researcher from University of Galway's School of Medicine and Lead Academic of the award said: "In partnership with LiFT BioSciences and Hooke Bio, we are very excited about University of Galway and Galway University Hospital being at the forefront of delivering on new oncological cellular therapies by using neutrophils, the body's own first responders, in the fight against cancer and ensuring patients in the West of Ireland have access to such cutting edge treatments." Professor Fidelma Dunne, Director of the Institute for Clinical Trials at University of Galway, said: "The Institute for Clinical Trials is proud to support this collaboration and look forward to working closely with Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund partners LifT BioSciences and Hooke Bio, and with academic and clinical colleagues at the University and Galway University Hospital. The programme will bring a new therapy to patients with an unmet critical need. This will be a truly inspirational journey from basic science to a first in human trial as we deliver this novel cell therapy to cancer patients." Dr Michael McCarthy, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Principal Investigator at University Hospital Galway, added: "Cancer remains one of the most complex and dynamic diseases. IMANs have the potential to overcome key limitations of current cancer treatments by activating both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system. This dual stimulation enables a comprehensive anti-tumour response, representing a transformative advancement in cancer therapy. We are pleased to receive this grant in collaboration with LIfT and Hooke Bio, and we look forward to accelerating the clinical development of this groundbreaking immunotherapy." Dr Andrew Finnerty Manager of the Centre for Cell Manufacturing Ireland at University of Galway, said: "We at the Centre for Cell Manufacturing Ire...

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá is fiche de mhí iúil. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh.Fuair an t-amhránaí rac-cheoil Ozzy Osbourne bás Dé Máirt an tseachtain seo, agus é 76 bhliain d'aois. As Birmingham ó dhúchas, tá sé curtha síos dá bhanna ceoil Black Sabbath gurb iadsan a chruthaigh an seánra miotal trom, a bhuíochas le hamhráin ar nós Iron Man agus Paranoid. Níos lú ná trí seachtaine ó shin, rinne Osbourne, a thug an t-ainm “Prince of Darkness” air féin, ceolchoirm dheireanach le slán a fhágáil ina bhaile dúchais, agus cuid mhaith de na ceoltóirí a spreag sé féin ar an ardán leis, Metallica agus Guns n' Roses ina measc. I ráiteas, dúirt a theaghlach: "Is le níos mó bróin ná mar is féidir le focail a chur in iúl go gcaithfimid a thuairisciú gur bhásaigh ár n-Ozzy Osbourne grámhar ar maidin. Bhí sé lena theaghlach." Níor shonraigh siad cúis bháis, ach bhí sraith fadhbanna sláinte ag an réalta agus diagnóisíodh go raibh galar Parkinson air in 2019. Dheimhnigh urlabhraí thar ceann an teaghlaigh gur bhásaigh Osbourne sa Ríocht Aontaithe.Tá cáineadh géar déanta ar an Rialtas as gan aon tagairt in aon chor a dhéanamh d'infheistíocht sa Ghaeilge agus sa Ghaeltacht san athbhreithniú ar an Phlean Forbartha Náisiúnta a foilsíodh inné. Tá táblaí sa phlean ina ndéantar briseadh síos ar €102.4 billiún den airgead atá geallta a dháileadh ar na ranna rialtais éagsúla ach níl an Ghaeltacht luaite fiú i dteideal na Roinne a bhfuil an cúram sin uirthi. An Roinn Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail atá déanta den Roinn Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail agus Gaeltachta sa phlean. An t-aon áit a bhfuil an focal Gaeltacht luaite sa phlean nua ná i bhfonóta faoi aistriú cumhachtaí ranna éagsúla i ndiaidh an toghcháin dheireanaigh. Dúirt Ard-Rúnaí Chonradh na Gaeilge gur údar náire a bhí san "easpa measa” a léirítear don Ghaeilge agus don Ghaeltacht sa phlean, a foilsíodh i mBéarla amháin. “Beimid ag obair linn idir seo agus an Buiséad lena chinntiú go bhfaigheann an teanga an sciar atá ag dul di agus go gcuirfear mar shampla maoiniú ceart ar leataobh do thithíocht sa Ghaeltacht,” arsa Ard-Rúnaí Chonradh na Gaeilge, Julian de Spáinn.Maraíodh bean ina 40idí agus beirt pháistí, buachaill agus cailín, i lámhach i gContae Fhear Manach Dé Céadaoin.

Tá fear - atá ina bhall den teaghlach céanna - á chóireáil fá choinne gortuithe tromchúiseacha in Ospidéal Ríoga Victoria i mBéal Feirste. Dúirt ceannasaí póilíní an cheantair le tuairisceoirí go raibh an t-imscrúdú ag céim luath, ach go mbeadh amhras faoi dhúnmharú triarach agus iarracht féinmharaithe "ina líne fiosrúcháin amháin". Dúirt an Ceannfort Robert McGowan ag preasagallamh go bhfuil tús curtha ag Seirbhís Póilíní Thuaisceart Éireann (PSNI) le himscrúdú dúnmharaithe agus go bhfuil siad "ag obair go gasta" chun na himthosca a chinneadh.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Údarás na Gaeltachta, in collaboration with University of Galway, has announced funding for two postgraduate bursaries worth €10,000 each for students enrolling in the University's MA in Planning and Development programme this September. The postgraduate bursary scheme was first launched in 2024 and is designed to support Irish-speaking graduates with an interest in contributing to the sustainable development of Gaeltacht areas. Sustainable development bursary for the Gaeltacht regions Along with valuable work experience with Údarás na Gaeltachta, the bursaries will enable successful applicants to gain insights into the unique planning and development challenges faced by Gaeltacht communities, including those related to economic, social, educational, sociolinguistic and cultural development. Tomás Ó Síocháin, CEO of Údarás na Gaeltachta, said: "We are delighted to support this innovative programme. It equips recipients with comprehensive expertise to address the planning and development challenges that public agencies face when implementing investment and development strategies in Gaeltacht and rural areas. By strengthening capabilities within Local Authorities and planning organisations, we are preparing the next generation of professional planners to champion sustainable development in Gaeltacht regions for years to come." Dr Thérèse Conway, Director of the MA in Planning and Development at University of Galway, said: "Having planners that understand the unique context of minority language areas is central to the future of Gaeltacht regions. These very generous bursaries will fund two Irish speakers, who along with their language abilities, will learn the required planning acumen, through the MA in Planning and Development programme, to engage with these unique areas." Eoin Brett, a 2024 bursary recipient and MA in Planning and Development student, said: "Receiving the Údarás na Gaeltachta bursary gave me direct experience in planning for the future of Gaeltacht communities and a chance to apply what I was learning in the classroom to real projects. The experience gave me a better understanding of how planning decisions affect everyday life in Gaeltacht communities and the unique needs of these areas." The MA in Planning and Development at University of Galway prepares graduates for careers in land use and physical planning, surveying, community and regional development, and sustainable planning practice. This bursary offers a unique chance for Irish-speaking graduates to contribute to the preservation and growth of Gaeltacht communities while advancing their professional qualifications. The deadline for applications is Friday August 15th, 2025.
