Podcasts about seachtain

Seachtain ó shin labhair an múinteoir scoile Brian Mac Giolla Choinnigh ar an gclár faoin méid a bhí tarlaithe in Dubai. Míníonn sé céard a bhí ar siúl aige ó shin.

Dia daoibhse from LondonI'm writing this week's column in London. Today, Monday, I'm in the Royal Courts of Justice in a civil case that has been brought against me by three claimants, innocent victims, who were injured in three IRA bomb attacks in 1973 and 1996. They are alleging that I was party to those attacks.There was a small crowd of former British soldiers outside the Court and some in the court room itself. There were also some people with tricolours showing their support.Today the legal teams for the claimants and for me made their opening submissions. My legal team set out logically and clearly my position. In summary, they said that I have consistently rejected claims that I was in the IRA. In this case I am also stating emphatically and unequivocally that I had no involvement in the three bomb attacks. Moore St Bill wins Unanimous BackingMeanwhile the legal challenge being taken by the Moore Street Preservation Trust against the plans by developer Hammerson, to destroy much of the historic 1916 Battlefield site in Dublin, is up for mention shortly in another Court. This time in Dublin. However, the case itself is unlikely to be heard until the autumn.Last week an important draft piece of legislation - An Bille um Cheathrú Chultúir 1916, 2021 - the 1916 Cultural Quarter Bill – to designate the Moore Street 1916 battlefield site as a Cultural Quarter, received unanimous support when it was discussed at the Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage. This was an important moment in the campaign to save the Moore St Battlefield site. Among those who supported the Bill were Cathaoirleach Mícheál Carrigy TD (FG), Paul McAuliffe TD (FF), Senator Maria McCormack (SF), Seamus McGrath TD (FF), Senator Aubrey McCarthy (Independent) and Tommy Gould TD (SF).Seachtain na GaeilgeWe are in the midst of Seachtain na Gaeilge. It used to run for one just week, but its popularity is now such that it has been extended to cover the period from March 1 to 17 – St Patrick's Day.It is very appropriate that it has been officially confirmed that Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, which will take place this August, is already slated to return to Belfast next year. Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is the world's largest annual Irish traditional music festival and is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors to Belfast.Is í Seachtain na Gaeilge an ceiliúradh is mó den Ghaeilge agus cultúr na hÉireann ar domhan. Bhí an oiread sin ráchairt uirthi gur síneodh amach chuig coicís í. Bíonn sí ar siúl ashan bhliain ó Márta 1 go dtí 17 - Lá Fhéile Pádraig.

Chruinnigh scaifte taobh amuigh de Theacht Laighean i mBAC Dé Máirt na seachtaine seo agus iad ag ágóidíocht de bharr fadhb thithíocht na Gaeltachta. Bhí an lucht agóide ag éileamh ar an Aire Tithíochta James Browne dul i mbun gnímh láithreach maidir leis an ghéarchéim thithíochta agus teanga sa Ghaeltacht. Tá sé acu go bhfuil an ghéarchéim thithíochta ag dul in olcas agus tá muintir na Gaeltachta buailte go dona leis. Labhair Áine Ní Bhreisleáin le Seachtain faoin léirsiú.

An Ennis native and founder of Bitesize Irish, Eoin Ó Conchúir has just published a new independent book, Seacht mBealach / Seven Ways, offering a gentle and practical approach to living Irish every day. Launching during Seachtain na Gaeilge, the book encourages small, meaningful daily actions — from speaking and listening to reflecting — helping people reconnect with the language without pressure or perfection. Eoin spoke with Alan Morrissey on Tuesday's Morning Focus which was broadcast live from the recruitment fair in Shannon.

Seachtain na Gaeilge is set to bring a vibrant, county-wide celebration of the Irish language to communities right across Clare. This year, Clare County Council, in partnership with An Clár as Gaeilge, Clare GAA, Clare Libraries and Conradh na Gaeilge, has launched a co-ordinated programme of events — creating one shared calendar to encourage people of all ages and levels of Irish to get involved. On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey welcomed Ruairí Henchy, Irish Language Development Officer and Communications Officer with Clare County Council, and Leah Ní Thailtigh, Language Planning Officer with An Clár as Gaeilge and Irish and Cultural Officer with Clare GAA.

I mí Eanáir 2011, dúnmaraíodh Michaela McAreavey agus í ar mhí na meala in ostán in Oiléan Mhuirís. Phós sí John McAreavey díreach dhá lá déag roimhe sin. Buille uafásach dá teaghlach a bhí san eachtra brúidiúil agus tharraing an fiosrúchán aird na meán ní amháin in Éirinn, ach ar fud an domhain. Cúisíodh beirt fhear ach fuarthas neamhchiontach an dís acu. 15 bhliain níos déanaí, tá an cás fós gan réiteach. Phléigh iriseoir Seachtain an cás le Ciarán Dunbar.

Tá tuarascáil nua seolta ag Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta a léiríonn líon na dteaghlach atá ag tógáil clann le Gaeilge sna Gaeltachtaí. Tá figiúirí le haghaidh gach ceann den 26 Limistéar Pleanála Teanga (LPT) san áireamh sa tuarascáil. Níl ach 3 LPT sa Ghaeltacht ar féidir a rá go bhfuil os cionn 50% de theaghlaigh ag tógáil a gclann le Gaeilge iontu. Mar sin, cén fáth nach bhfuil níos mó daoine ag tabhairt a dteanga dúchais dá gcuid páistí? Ar Seachtain, labhair Sorcha Ní Chéilleachair, Ceannasaí Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta, faoi cad é a léiríonn an taighde nua seo dúinn. Is ball den trust project é Seachtain agus ba mhian linn go mbeidh muinín agaibhse ionainn.

Bhí Micheál Ó hAlmháin as Inis Oírr ar dhuine de 27 Loachra Áitiúil a dearnú ceiliúradh orthu ag ócáid a bhí i Halla na Cathrach le gairid de Seachtain na hAosachta Dearfaí.

Plé ag na leaids an tseachtain seo ar cluiche mór i bPáirc an Chrócaigh, an chéad comhscór san NFL feadh beagnach trí bliain, agus cé hiad na foirne atá *dáríre* in ann na playoffs a bhaint amach agus muid ag teannadh le Seachtain a Cúig.

Bhailigh na sluaite inniu i gColáiste Gonzaga i mBleá Cliath inniu le slán a fhágáil agus omós a thabhairt do Mhanchán Magan. Ní raibh ach 55 bliain d'aois slánaithe aige nuair a d'imigh sé ar shlí na fírinne an Déardaoin seo caite. Bhí ailse air le tamall. Bhain Manchán cáil amach mar gheall ar a chuid oibre mar scríbhneoir, láithreoir agus mar dhuine a spreag glúin nua i dtreo na Gaeilge de. Ar Seachtain, labhair Tessa Fleming le hÁine Ní Bhreisleáin, iriseoir le Seachtain, faoin lorg atá fágtha aige. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tá cás sceimhlitheoireachta in aghaidh Liam Óig Uí Annaidh, rapálaí ón bhanna cheoil Kneecap, caite amach ag ag cúirt i Sasana. Cuireadh ina leith gur thaispeáin sé brat Hezbollah agus é ar stáitse i Londain, agus go raibh sé sin ina chomhartha tacaíochta don eagraíocht thoirmiscthe. Seo an tríú huair do Liam Óg teacht os comhair na cúirte i dtaca leis an gcúiseamh seo, ach cuireadh moill ar an bhreithiúnas roimhe seo mar gheall ar argóintí dlí teicniúla. ­ Labhair an t-iriseoir Ciarán Dunbar ar Seachtain faoin mhéid a tharla sa chúirt inniu. ­ Foclóir: Ionchúisitheoir: Prosecutor ­ Máguaird: Environs ­ Cúiseamh: Charge ­ Neamhchiontach: Innocent ­ Cinneadh: Decision ­ Cloí: Abide by ­ Trídhathach: Tricolour ­ Slad: Plunder ­ Míchuí: Inappropriate ­ Cosc: Ban ­ Camchuairt: TourSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seachtain speisialta don NFL agus é in Éirinn don chéad uair ariamh, áit a dtabharfaidh na Pittsburgh Steelers aghaidh ar na Minnesota Vikings i bPáirc an Chrócaigh. Cé acu a bheidh an t-ádh leo? Cé acu is mó atá bua ag teastáil uathu idir na Ravens agus na Chiefs? Agus an bhfuil na Cowboys in ann díoltas a fháil ar na Packers?

Comhrá le Molly O'Leary faoi Sheachtain Faisean Bhaile Átha Cliath 2025

Tá mionchabhlach de thuairim is 50 bhád ar a bhealach go Gaza – agus tá Éireannaigh ina measc siúd atá ar bord. Tá na céadta daoine ó thíortha fud fad an domhain mar chuid den Global Sumud Flotilla agus é ar intinn acu cabhair dhaonnúil a thabhairt isteach do mhuintir Gaza. Tuairiscíodh oíche Dé Luain gur bhuail drón ceann de na báid sa Túinéis áfach. Chuir an Global Sumud Flotilla físeán in airde ar na meáin shóisialta a léiríonn solas geal ag bualadh an bháid. Níor gortaíodh aon duine. Ach diúltaíonn údaráis na Túinéise gur drón a bhí i gceist. Deir lucht eagraithe an chabhlaigh nach gcuirfidh eachtraí sa Túinéis stop lena dturas agus go leanfaidh siad orthu. Tá Naoise Dolan ina cuid den iarracht seo agus labhair sí le Seachtain.

Our 1916The eight months of the 1981 hunger strike campaign changed the political landscape in Ireland. It was as Síle Darragh, former O.C. of the republican women prisoners in Armagh Women's Prison, said recently, “our 1916.” It began on 1st March 1981. When it ended on 3rd October ten hungerstrikers were dead. Bobby Sands had been the first to die on May 5th. He was followed over the following four summer months up to August by Francis Hughes, Raymond McCreesh, Patsy O Hara, Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty, Thomas McElwee, and Micky Devine.On Sunday last people came in their thousands, from all parts of the island of Ireland, and from overseas, to participate in the annual August march and to honour and commemorate the ten who died forty-four years ago in the H blocks and others who starved to death decades before this including Frank Stagg and Michael Gaughan who died in the 1970s in prison in England. The stories of the ten hunger strikers and of their comrades in the H-Blocks and Armagh Women's Prison, who spent five years on the protest for political status, are many. The brutal physical and mental abuse the women and men endured in defence of the struggle for freedom and in rejection of the label ‘criminal,' has been articulated in a series of books, poems and articles. These include Ten Men Dead by David Beresford; Seachtain an an Bhlaincéad by Ruairí Ó Dónaill; The Crunch has come by Eoghan MacCormaic, written while he was in the H-Blocks and using the pen name Frankie O ‘Brien; Nor Meekly Serve my Time by some of the POWs; John Lennon is Dead by Síle Darragh; Time Shadows by Laurence McKeown; 6000 Days by Jim (Jaz) McCann: ; Pluid: Scéal na mBlocanna H, 1976-81 by Eoghan MacCormaic; Playing My Part by Gerry Kelly; and the many poems and articles written by Bobby Sands. And there are others including by this writer.Speaking at the Republican Plot in Milltown Cemetery where Bobby Sands, Joe McDonnell and Ciaran Doherty are buried, Uachtarán Mary Lou McDonald caught the legacy and memory of that time when she described the hungerstrikers as: “Ten brave Irish men who laid down their lives on hunger strike for the freedom of their country. Starved and persecuted they lay in the H-Blocks and with every sinew of their being, they refused to be criminalised, refused to be broken, refused to be defeated.” She said: “For them, we will do the work, we will walk the extra yards, we will write our nation's next chapter – Ireland, united and free… Joined by heroic women in Armagh Gaol, they hungered not only for political status, but for the Ireland envisaged by the proclamation – for the Republic… The legacy of the hunger strikers calls to us today.  To stay true to vision and the dream for which they gave everything. To never despair. Never lose hope. Never give up.”Perhaps one of the most emotional moments of the day was as the huge march made its way along the Falls Road toward Milltown. A huge banner of Bik McFarlane was unfurled as the march rounded the bend on the Falls Road, just above Beechmount. The blanket men and women who were leading the commemoration stopped and for a minute lifted their clenched fists in silent salute to the friend and comrade who had led them through that terrible year.In his contribution to Guthanna '81, published last Saturday, Bik, who died earlier this year, wrote about that experience. His account provides an insight, into t

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an naoú lá de mhí Lúnasa. Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir.Dé Domhnaigh, fuadaíodh bean as Éirinn i Háítí agus seachtar eile in éineacht léi, leanbh trí bliana d'aois ina measc. Is í Gena Heraty, atá ina stiúrthóir i ndílleachtlann in aice le príomhchathair Háítí, Port-au-Prince, agus ar as Cathair na Mart i gContae Mhaigh Eo ó dhúchas di, an bhean a fuadaíodh. Bronnadh roinnt gradam ar an stiúrthóir dílleachtlainne ar son a cuid obair dhaonnúil, Gradam Dínit an Duine um Oireachtais san áireamh. D'agair an Taoiseach Micheál Martin leis an dream a d'fhuadaigh an tÉireannach í a scaoileadh saor agus dhearbhaigh an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha, an Tánaiste Simon Harris, go raibh “dianiarrachtaí leanúnacha” ar siúl lena fuascailt a bhaint amach.  Tháinig borradh mór faoin táirgeadh plaistigh sa chéad bliain a chuaigh thart, agus cé gur táirge míorúilteach é i roinnt cásanna, is cúis tromluí é i gcás an truaillithe. In 2022, tháinig tíortha ar chomhaontú a bhí ina cheangal de réir dlí, le dramhaíl plaistigh agus ceimiceáin dhíobhálacha a bhaineann le plaisteacha ar leith a laghdú, ach tar éis dhá bhliain níl an conradh réitithe go fóill. Dé Máirt, bhuail na tíortha domhanda le chéile arís ag comhdháil na Náisiún Aontaithe in Geneva, ag cur tús le seisiún atá ag iarraidh an comhaontú a chríochnú, téacs an chomhaontú a fhormheas, agus é a chur os comhair Chomhdháil Taidhleoireachta na Lánchumhachtach sula nglacfaí leis.Tá Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann faoi lánseol i Loch Garman don darna bhliain: níos mó ná seachtain lán de cheol, amhránaíocht agus damhsa, agus buaicphointe na bliana do na taibheoirí. Tá réimse imeachtaí Gaeilge le fáil ag an Fhleadh fosta, idir cheol beo, scéalaíocht, TG4, stair, siamsóirí sráide, agus neart eile, ó Seachtain na Gaeilge, agus tá seans ag daoine an Ghaeilge a labhairt agus a chluinstin go nádúrtha sa spás cultúrtha seo. Críochnaíonn na comórtais agus na taispeántais Dé Domhnaigh, 10 Lúnasa agus tá na craoltaí le feiceáil ar TG4, beo agus le sruthú. Fógraíodh anuraidh go mbeidh Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann ag tarlú i mBéal Feirste den chéad uair in 2026, agus den darna huair sa Tuaisceart.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Is mise Niall ÓSiadhail.Bhí bua gan choinne ag Zohran Mamdani i dtoghchán tosaigh an Pháirtí Dhaonlathaigh le haghaidh Mhéara Nua-Eabhrac DéMáirt, nuair a fuair sé an ceann is fearr ar iarghobharnóir Stát Nua-Eabhrac Andrew Cuomo. Reáchtálfar toghchán an mhéara féin i mí na Samhna agus meastar gur rogha na coitiantachta a bheidh in iarrthóir an Pháirtí Dhaonlathaigh. Bhí tacaíocht leithéidí Bernie Sanders agus Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ag Mamdani, agus é ag gealladh polasaithe níos forásaí ná Cuomo, lena n-áirítear reo cíosanna agus busanna saor in aisce sa chathair. Anuas air sin, tá Cuomo luaite le roinnt líomhaintí faoi chiapadh gnéasach. Má éiríonn le Mamdani i mí na Samhna beidh sé ina chéad Mhéara Moslamach i gCathair Nua-Eabhrac.Tháinig fear slán as foirgneamh a bhí trí thine i lár Bhaile Átha Cliath le linn na seachtaine, buíochas le tiománaí leoraí a pháirceáil a fheithicil faoi fhuinneog an tí ar Rae Granby in aice le Cearnóg Parnell. Chonaic Tomasz Zareba fear amháin ag léim amach as fuinneog thuas staighre agus é féin a ghortú ar an tsráid ach ansin thiomáin sé a leoraí taobh leis an fhoirgneamh le go mbeadh fear eile ábalta teacht anuas go sábháilte. I ndiaidh na heachtra, chuaigh Zareba ar ais ag obair, agus é ag seachadadh earraí go siopaí sa chathair. Cuireadh cóireáil ar sheachtar ar an láthair agus cuireadh triúr san ospidéal, ach ní fios go fóill cad é ba chúis leis an tine.Tá féile cheoil Glastonbury ar siúl an deireadh seachtaine seo, agus thart fá dhá chéad míle duine ag teacht go Worthy Farm in Somerset in iardheisceart Shasana. Is iad The 1975, Neil Young agus Olivia Rodrigo príomhoirfidigh na féile, a d'eagraigh anfeirmeoir Michael Eavis den chéad uair sa bhliain 1970, agus tá roinnt ceoltóirí móra Éireannacha ag seinm fosta i mbliana, lena n-áirítear Kneecap, CMAT, Sprints agus Inhaler. Seachtain ó shin, dúirt Príomh-Aire na Ríochta Aontaithe Keir Starmer go gcreideann sé nár chóir go mbeadh ceolchoirm Kneecap á léiriúar an teilifís, ach tá sé ráite ag an lucht eagraithe go bhfuil fáilte rompu ag an fhéile. Beidh an chéad fhéile eile ar siúl sa bhliain 2027, ós rud é gur feirm dhéiríochta é Worthy Farm agus go mbíonn bliain ina bhán de dhíth ó am go ham.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

File ó Mhaigh Mheáin ag caint faoi Seachtain na Scríbhneoirí i mbliana – beidh tús leis seachtain ó inniu.

Is tréimhse ciúin í an sos Cásca sna seomraí nuachta go minic. Leis an Dáil agus na scoileanna ar saoire ag an am seo bliana, ní bhíonn iriseoirí leath comh gnóthach is a bhíonn de ghnáth. Ach is léir nach amhlaidh an Cháisc seo. Ar an bpodchraoladh, tugann Gearóid Ó Muilleoir, eagarthóir Seachtain, agus an t-iriseoir Ciarán Dunbar, spléachadh ar mhórscéalta an nuachtáin.

George McGrath is well known to listeners of the Ireland on the Fly podcast, a friend of the show he has joined us on numerous occasions. If you have listened to him before you will no doubt be aware that he and Tom Doc will at times, break out into speaking Irish. George has a great love for the Irish language and is a fluent speaker and Tom, hailing from Joyce Country, is fluent as well. It was with this in mind that we decided to record a bonus episode during Seachtain na Gaeilge last week. This is a week where the Irish language is promoted throughout the country.Tom interviewed George and the whole episode is in Irish. It is about George's background in fishing and his life on his beloved River Suir.   For those listeners who only have a little Irish here are a few pointers to help you along and here is what is discussed in the interview in this order:-       Where George got his Irish, neighbour from Connemara, evening meetings-       Where George hails from-       How he started in fishing, eels and then on to trout, his first fly rod, the polar opposite of a travel rod. Thumbing and travelling to the fishing.-       An unusual lift from a blind man-       Pollution problems and the environment -       His YouTube Channel and why he does less hunting, once again the problems in the environment. Swimming against the tide-       Opening day 2025, Euro Nymphing (The Lob) and streamer fishing. He talks of some of the big streamers.-       Salmon on the river.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an cúigiú lá déag de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Dúirt Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Donald Trump, ag a chruinniú leis an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, sa Teach Bán tráthnóna Dé Máirt go bhfuil “grá mór” ag muintir na hÉireann dó. Dúirt sé freisin, áfach, go bhfuil “ár gcomhlachtaí pharma ag Éirinn”. Ba mhaith leis an Uachtarán iad a thabhairt ar ais chuig na Stáit Aontaithe, cé gur mhol sé na hÉireannaigh as ucht na comhlachtaí sin a mhealladh. Ní raibh aon cheilt ag an Trumpach ach an oiread ar a naimhdeas leis an Aontas Eorpach, agus mar sin de ba bheag an t-iontas gurbh iad na taraifí an téama ba lárnaí ag an bpreasócáid san Oifig Ubhchruthach. Nuair a fuair an Taoiseach deis cainte, luaigh sé an caidreamh stairiúil idir an dá thír, agus dúirt sé gurb í an fhadhb is mó a bhí le réiteach in Éirinn ná an ghéarchéim tithíochta. Maidir leis na cogaí in Gaza agus san Úcráin, thug sé freagraí taidhleoireachta gan cur isteach ar an Uachtarán ná ar an Leas-Uachtarán, J.D. Vance, a rinne argóint phoiblí le déanaí le hUachtarán na hÚcráine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Bhí an Ghaeilge á labhairt den chéad uair riamh le linn Cheisteanna an Phríomh-Aire in Westminster an tseachtain seo. Luaigh ceannaire an SDLP, Claire Hanna, go bhfuil Seachtain na Gaeilge ar siúl anois, agus go bhfuil ceiliúradh Lá Fhéile Pádraig ar na bacáin freisin. An méid sin ráite, lean sí uirthi ansin i mBéarla, agus mhol sí an Príomh-Aire, Keir Starmer, as caidreamh “cairdiúil agus dlúth” a chothú idir Éire agus an Bhreatain. Thug sí cuireadh dó freisin teacht go Béal Feirste an bhliain seo chugainn chun freastal ar Fhleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. Ghabh an Príomh-Aire buíochas léi agus ghuigh sé Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona dóibh siúd a bheadh ag ceiliúradh na féile. Dúirt an SDLP gur gníomh “siombalach” don Ghaeilge é ráiteas a gceannaire.Tá póilíní na Gearmáine sa tóir ar changarú a bhí caillte de réir dealraimh tar éis do thiománaí a chur in iúl go raibh sé ag léimneach síos an bóthar in aice le baile Sebnitz gar don teorainn leis an tSeicia. Tar éis an radharc neamhghnách a fheiceáil, ghlaoigh an tiománaí ar na póilíní agus chuir sé grianghraf chucu mar fhianaise. Ach faoin am a tháinig siad ar an láthair, bhí an cangarú imithe glan. Is beag eolas atá ar fáil faoin ainmhí, a dúirt na póilíní, ach an lá dár gcionn thuairiscigh bean go raibh cangarú áirithe ar iarraidh. In 2023, tharla oibríocht ollmhór póilíneachta i mBeirlín nuair a tuairiscíodh go raibh leon scaoilte ar shráideanna na cathrach. Chuir siad deireadh leis an gcuardach, áfach, tar éis dóibh anailís a dhéanamh ar an bhfíseán agus a thuiscint nach leon a bhí ann, ach torc.taraifí - tariffsfreagraí taidhleoireachta - diplomatic answersar na bacáin - coming soon, in the pipelinecuireadh - invitation

Seachtain na GaeilgeSeachtain na Gaeilge used to run for one week but because it was so popular it was extended. It now runs annually from 1 March to 17 March – St. Patrick's Day. Is í Seachtain na Gaeilge an ceiliúradh is mó den Ghaeilge agus Cultúr na hÉireann ar domhan. Bhí an oiread sin ráchairt uirthi gur síneodh amach chuig coicís í. Bíonn sí ar siúl ó 1 Márta go dtí 17 Márta - Lá Fhéile Pádraig, achan bhliain.Seachtain na Gaeilge was founded in 1902 by Conradh na Gaeilge as part the Gaelic  revival of that time. Initially Seachtain na Gaeilge was limited to the island of Ireland but today it is now a global phenomenon and the largest celebration of our language and culture here and overseas.Seachtain is an opportunity to celebrate our native language and culture and to enjoy it all.  I was lucky to attend the Belfast launch in An Cultúrlann on the Falls Road last week. I certainly enjoyed it. It was a great event. Bia blasta agus ceol milis. You could tell a new generation is here to take the language movement forward with confidence.  To read what's on in the festival, go to Seachtain na Gaelige le energia or cnag.ie Death of Dafyyd Elis-ThomasNext week the funeral will take place in Cardiff of Dafyyd Elis-Thomas the former leader of Plaid Cymru, the Welsh independence party, who died in February. Forty-four years ago Dafyyd was an MP in the British Parliament where he played a pivotal role in the 1981 hunger strike.Bobby Sands commenced his hunger strike on 1 March 1981. He was to be followed in the weeks and months that followed by other blanket men. Five days after Bobby first refused food Frank Maguire, the Independent Republican MP for Fermanagh South Tyrone suddenly died of a heart attack. Following days of intense discussion, it was decided by Sinn Féin to stand Bobby Sands in the by-election. Harry West was the Unionist candidate.When the result was announced on the 9 April in Enniskillen's Technical College - “Sands, Bobby – Anti H-Block/Armagh Political Prisoner – 30,492; West, Harry – Unionist – 29,046” – history was made and the political landscape on the island of Ireland changed forever. Bobby was elected with a majority of 1447 on an 87% turnout.
