Podcasts about seachtain

Is dúiche Éireannach a chaith beagnach trí chéad bliana faoi thionchar na Lochlannach é Loch Garman. Sa bhliain 1170 tháinig na hAngla-Normannaigh chuig an chontae agus d'fhág lorg ann a mhaireann go dtí an lá atá inniu ann – an Béarla, cuir i gcás. Ní nach ionadh, glactar leis go minic, sa stairseanchas, agus sa stair scríofa ag an lucht léinn gur contae gallda amach is amach a bhí ann ó shin. Contae is ea é nach samhlaítear le Gaeltacht nó leis an nGaeilge. Léiríonn taighde gurbh ann do na Gaeil agus a dteanga sa chontae i gcónaí áfach. Labhair Ciarán Dunbar leis an Dr Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich, Príomhoifigeach Logainmneacha leis an mBrainse Logainmneach, comh-údar Gaelic Wexford: 1400 – 1660, agus thar rud ar bith eile, fear de bhunadh Bhaile Loch Garman. Sa chéad eagrán eile den phodchraoladh seo, gheobhaidh muid amach faoi cén chineál Gaeilge a bhíodh á labhairt, i nGaeltacht Loch Garman. Is ball den trust project é Seachtain agus ba mhian linn go mbeidh muinín agaibhse ionainn.

Ó Learphoill go cathair Londain - is fada scéal an imirce go Sasana. Leis an glúnta, chuir easpa deiseanna sa tír seo iachall ar dhaoine imeacht, agus ba í an Bhreatain an chéad stad do cuid mhaith acu agus iad ag cuartú saol níos fearr dóibh féin. Le linn an chéad seo caite, bhí na hÉireannaigh ag croílár tionscadail tógála sa Bhreatain, ach taobh leis an obair sin, bhí leithcheal, imeallú agus droch-chlú a lean iad ar feadh i bhfad. Mar sin, cén tionchar a bhí ag an imeallú seo ar na pobail Éireannacha ar fud na Breataine? Agus cén chuma a bhí ar an saol i ndáiríre dóibh siúd a rinne an turas trasna Mhuir Éireann? Tá taispeantas nua san Epic Museum i mBaile Átha Cliath a dhéanann iniúchadh ar na ceisteanna seo agus ar scéal na n-imirceach i Sasana. Chun an stair seo a fhiosrú, labhair Seachtain leis an staraí eacnamaíochta Cormac Ó Gráda - duine acu siúd atá taobh thiar den taighde don taispeantas seo - le súil siar a chaitheamh ar shaol na nÉireannach i Sasana.

Ba é Daonáireamh 1926 an chéad daonáireamh a rinneadh tar éis bhunú an Stáit. Beagnach céad bliain tar éis dó a bheith curtha i gcrích, tá fáil againn anois ar an eolas pearsanta a líonadh isteach ar na foirmeacha sin. Rinneadh tuairisciú ar bheagnach trí mhilliún duine sa daonáireamh sin agus tugann sé léargas fíorluachmhar dúinn ar shaol mhuintir na hÉireann mar a bhí sa bhliain 1926. Tá cuid mhór againn anois ag tumadh isteach sa chartlann agus suim againn níos mó a fháil amach faoinár gceantar féin agus faoi na daoine a tháinig romhainn. Sa sraith teilifíse nua, ‘Come to your Census', chuaigh seisear ar thuras pearsanta chun iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar a gcuid gaolta féin atá luaite sna cáipéisí. Duine acu siúd ná an láithreoir raidió Gormfhlaith Ní Thuairisg, agus í ag rianú a sinsear féin agus scéalta a pobail. Labhair Gormfhlaith ar Seachtain faoi na scealta a tháinig chun solais ar a haistear agus an dóigh a ndeachaigh sé i bhfeidhm uirthi.

Ar shamhlaigh tú riamh cad é mar a bheadh sé a bheith i do shuí ag bord os comhair an Talaban? Nó idirbheartaíocht a dhéanamh le rialtas nua tar éis chogadh fíochmhar? Cad é a dhéanfá dá mbeadh ort dul go ceantar buailte ag tubaiste mhillteanach, agus tosú arís leis an atógáil? Sin iad roinnt de na dúshláin a bhíonn os comhair Angus Lambkin go rialta agus é ag obair leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe. Is saineolaí tubaiste é Angus a bhíonn ag taistil ar fud an domhain chuig tíortha atá i mbaol is faoi bhagairt. Ar Seachtain labhraíonn Ciarán Dunbar leis an bhFeirsteach Angus Lambkin, faoin ról ar leith atá aige mar shaineolaí tubaiste leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe.

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.

On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind. Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world). Mollie is is an Irish language educator, content creator, and language activist with nearly 300,000 followers across social platforms reigniting our language. And here we talk about why thats important - not just for the tradition or heritage but for our souls. You see its only now through witnessing in real time the attempts to erode an indigenous people am I revisiting our own Irish history with a new appreciation for what was lost. Our language was a crime. How we said I love you was a crime. Our words and poetry and music and wisdom no longer had a voice to carry it.I believe in the power of words and we lost ours. And so this week on Seachtain na gaeilge I want to better understand the marks this left behind.

In this Film Ireland podcast, recorded live on location in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Irish Film Festival, we chat with author, playwright and screenwriter Sheena Lambert about her feature Báite.Presented annually by Solas Nua, the 20th edition of the Capital Irish Film Festival ran from 26th February to 1st March 2026, presenting one of the largest programmes of Irish cinema in North America. Irish-language feature Báite tells the story of a rural village during an All-Ireland weekend in 1975. Blending murder mystery with family drama, the film follows Peggy Casey as her life begins to unravel after a body surfaces in the local man-made lake.In this episode, we catch up with Sheena Lambert about her journey as a writer, the origins of the story, and the ins and outs of adapting a project from page to screen.Listen now on SoundCloud, Apple, Spotify, Acast and Amazon, or subscribe to Film Ireland wherever you get your podcasts.Sheena LambertDublin-based screenwriter, playwright and novelist Sheena Lambert has an exciting few months ahead with the 2025 release of her debut feature film, BÁITE, an adaptation of her own novel The Lake (HarperCollins, 2015) which was filmed in Galway and produced by Danú Media under TG4/Screen Ireland's Cine4 Scheme. Following a hugely successful, sold-out, extended summer run, Sheena's stage play COSIMA, based on her Screen Ireland supported feature screenplay of the same name, is scheduled for an Irish tour via Breda Cashe Productions, with some pre-Christmas Dublin dates already announced. Cosima was the daughter of Franz Liszt, who refused to allow her to perform publicly; she married Richard Wagner to get away from her controlling father and helped him become a much greater success than her father had ever been.BáiteWinner of Best Irish Language Feature Film at the 2025 Galway Film Fleadh and nominated in four categories at the 2026 Irish Film & Television Academy Awards, Báite arrives in cinemas nationwide on 6th March 2026 to coincide with Seachtain na Gaeilge (1–17 March). Directed by Ruán Magan (The Hunger, Our Blue World – A Water Odyssey), the film is a haunting Irish-language mystery set in rural Ireland in September 1975.When a body is discovered in the receding waters of a lake, the find sends shockwaves through a small community. For 23-year-old Peggy Casey, who runs the local pub, the revelation threatens to upend not just her life, but an entire town built on secrets long submerged.About Capital Irish Film FestivalSolas Nua's annual Capital Irish Film Festival in Washington, D.C., presents one of the largest programmes of Irish cinema in North America, showcasing the latest Irish dramatic and documentary features, shorts, art films and animation releases by Irish and Ireland-based filmmakers.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá is fiche de mhí an Mheithimh. 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.
