Tá Fine Gall ag ullmhú chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar a Oidhreacht i rith Sheachtain Oidhreachta Náisiúnta na bliana seo

Tá gliondar croí ar Chomhairle Contae Fhine Gall roinnt imeachtaí a fhógairt a thitfidh amach ar fud Fhine Gall i rith Sheachtain na hOidhreachta chun a cheiliúradh a dhéanamh ar oidhreacht Fhine Gall. Déanann Seachtain Oidhreachta ceiliúradh ar gach rud a bhaineann leis an oidhreacht agus cuirfear tús leis Dé Sathairn, an 17 Lúnasa agus beidh sé ar siúl go dtí an 25 Lúnasa. Tugann sé pobail agus forais chultúir, acadóirí agus díograiseoirí le chéile, chun feasacht a mhúscailt ar luach na hoidhreachta agus tacú lena caomhnú.

Tá deis eile á cur ar fáil ag Christine Baker, Seandálaí Fhine Gall, chun páirt a ghlacadh i dtochailt seandálaíochta, san Aill, an babhta seo, ó Dé Sathairn, an 17 go dtí Dé hAoine, an 23 Lúnasa (gan an Domhnach a áireamh). Tá de chuspóir na tochailte seo tús a chur le ceisteanna a fhreagairt faoi ghníomhaíocht ar chúl na reilige san Aill. Tá an tochailte suite idir an Caisleán Dubh agus suíomh na heaglaise meánaoisí agus bheadh sé suite laistigh de chroílár an tsráidbhaile mheánaoisigh. An bhfuil aon fhianaise ón tréimhse seo fós ann? Ar úsáideadh an suíomh mar ghairdín sa 19ú haois? Chun na ceisteanna seo a fhreagairt, teastaíonn uainn go dtagann tú i láthair agus go ndéanann tú tochailt linn.

Bí linn Dé Sathairn, an 17 Lúnasa ag 7pm i dteach tábhairne The Strand Bar, an Ros, i dteannta Abarta Heritage agus Chomhairle Contae Fhine Gall chun éisteacht le Scéalta ó Pháirceanna Fhine Gall. B’fhéidir go bhfaca tú Tionscadal Ainmneacha Páirce Fhine Gall ar Nuacht TG4 agus is féidir leat páirt a ghlacadh go fóill sa tionscadal seo a bhfuil de chuspóir aige ainmneacha páirce agus an oidhreacht ghaolmhar atá inár dtírdhreacha áitiúla a fhiosrú agus a chur i gcuntas. Ag an tráthnóna scéalaíochta seo, inseoimid scéalta faoi pháirceanna ar fud Fhine Gall a bhfuil ceangal acu le ‘Collier the Robber’, Naomh Mobhí agus Oilibhéar Cromail, i measc daoine eile. Tá fáilte roimh dhuine ar bith chun teacht i láthair agus a scéalta féin a insint nó chun díreach éisteacht.

Tiocfaidh Líonra Oidhreachta Fhine Gall, le tacaíocht ó Chomhairle Contae Fhine Gall, le chéile Dé Céadaoin, an 21 Lúnasa ag 8pm in Ionad Paróiste San Sailbheastar, Mullach Íde, chun tráthnóna beoga a chaitheamh i mbun scéalaíochta maidir leis an téama ‘Caitheamh Aimsire i bhFine Gall’. Tá an t-imeacht seo ar aon dul leis na grúpaí éagsúla Oidhreachta agus Staire a thagann le chéile chun oidhreacht shaibhir Fhine Gall a cheiliúradh agus a chaomhnú. Seolfaidh Méara Fhine Gall Plean Oidhreachta Fhine Gall, chomh maith, ar an oíche.

Déanfaidh Bernie Kelly, Oifigeach Gaeilge Fhine Gall agus Berni Marks, Staraí Shoird, cuairt dhátheangach i rith am lóin a chur ar siúl ar Mhúsaem Shoird ar an tSráid Thuaidh. Deis atá ann seo chun cuid de stair an-spéisiúil Shoird a fhoghlaim agus chun do Chúpla Focal a úsáid, chomh maith, ag imeacht Gaeilge i rith Sheachtain na hOidhreachta.

Faoi mar a dhéantar i gcónaí, beidh go leor imeachtaí á gcur ar siúl ag Leabharlanna Fhine Gall do leanaí agus daoine fásta araon, ina measc, ‘Bioscaping’ le hAoife Munn, ceardlann Bheach do Leanaí le hIonad Rediscovery, caint le Christine Baker, Seandálaí Pobail Fhine Gall agus cainteanna Staire agus Ginealais le Declan Brady agus Fiona Fitzsimons.
