Do bhaineamair ana-thaitneamh as Gaeilge 24 inniubh mar Chumann. Do bhí craic, spraoi, agus bia againn. Ní raibh puinn Béarla le clos - Gaelainn amháin a bhí á labhairt againn - mar is ceart! Tuilleadh eolais ar Instagram @cumann_gaelach_ol

Bhí bliain thar a bheith rathúil ag an gCumann Gaelach i mbliana.

Bhí dhá imeacht seachtainiúil ar siúl acu, 'Tae agus Plé' agus 'Píotsa agus Plé'. Chomh maith leis sin, d'eagraigh siad ócáidí speisialta ar nós céilí, oíche shóisialta, tráth na gceist, traenáil don gcoiste i mBaile Átha Cliath turas go Cill Áirne d'Oireachtas na Samhna, aoichaint faoi Ghairmeacha le Gaeilge le Conradh na Gaeilge, oíche scannáin i gcomhpháirt le UL Film Society, ceardlainn do mhic léinn idirnáisiúnta i gcomhpháirt le UL Global agus go leor eile.

Bronnadh gradam 'Gníomhaí Gaeilge' ar Chumann Gaelach Ollscoil Luimnigh ar an 11ú Aibreán chun an obair a rinne an coiste i mbliana a aithint. Tá an scéim seo á reachtáil ag Conradh na Gaeilge agus Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn agus maoinithe ag an tÚdarás Um Ard-Oideachas.

Ba bhreá leis an gcoiste buíochas a ghabhail le hAonad na Gaeilge as ucht an tacaíocht, agus le gach mac léinn a d'fhreastail ar na himeachtaí.

Ba bhreá leis an gcoiste buíochas a ghabhail le hAbaigéal Ní Dhroma, céimí MA sa Ghaeilge in Ollscoil Luimnigh, as a bheith ina meantóir don gcoiste, le hAonad na Gaeilge as ucht an tacaíocht, agus le gach mac léinn a d'fhreastail ar na himeachtaí.

Seimeastar den scoth!

Bhí seimeastar den scoth ag an gCumann Gaelach in Ollscoil Luimnigh an téarma seo. Bhíodh dhá imeacht ar siúl in aghaidh na seachtaine. Bhí an-rath ar Tae agus Plé chomh maith le Píotsa agus Plé a bhíodh ar siúl gach Máirt agus Céadaoin idir a 1 agus a 2 i Seomra na Gaeilge. Bhain mic léinn na Gaeilge agus mic léinn idirnáisiúnta taitneamh is tairbhe astu agus ba dheas an deis iad an Ghaeilge a chleachtadh agus a labhairt lena chéile. Anuais air sin, d’eagraíomar turas go dtí an Oireachtas i gCill Áirne a bhí thar a bheith taitneamhach, ceardlann do mhic léinn idirnáisiúnta, Oíche Chluichí Boird agus céilí freisin.

Buíochas le coiste an chumainn: Brian, Sarah, Atene, Melissa, Katie, Liam agus Jack, as ucht an obair a rinne siad. Ár mbuíochas le hAonad na Gaeilge agus le Ciara Considine a chuir Seomra na Gaeilge ar fáil dúinn.

Táimid ag tnúth go mór le Seimeastar 2!

Is comórtas é Glór na nGael do na Cumainn Ghaelacha ar fad ar oileán na hÉireann. Is cumann úr-nua muid agus bhíomar in iomaíocht le cumainn atá ar an bhfód ar feadh na mblianta fada. Is éacht ollmhór é seo dúinn, agus taispeánann sé an dul chun cinn ar fad a rinneamar i mbliana, in ainneoin srianta na paindéime. Míle buíochas as bhur gcuid tacaíochta uile i mbliana!

Tá an t-ádh dearg linn go mbeidh an Dr. Sorcha de Brún linn do Sheachtain na Gaeilge chun ceardlann a thabhairt ar an Aiste Chruthaitheach. 

Is séanra nua í an aiste chruthaitheach atá tar éis teacht go mór chun cinn sa Bhéarla le roinnt blianta anuas, ach nach bhfuil mórán plé déanta uirthí sa Ghaeilge go dtí seo. 

Beidh seans ag an rannpháirtithe aiste a scríobh i ndiadh na ceardlainne chun cur isteach ar chomórtas le dúiseanna den scoth a bhuachaint!!

//

We are so lucky to have Dr. Sorcha de Brún speaking with us for Seachtain na Gaeilge to give a creative essay writing workshop. This is a new topic of creative writing that is after becoming very popular with English writers, but it hasn't gotten much recognition as Gaeilge yet.

There will also be a chance for everyone to enter an essay into a competition which will be  judged by Dr. Sorcha de Brún and there are brilliant prizes to be won!

Bígí linn ar an oíche

Do Sheachtain na Gaeilge, beidh rang againn do dhaltaí idirnáisiúnta agus dóibh siúd nach bhfuil Gaeilge acu.

Beimid ag múineadh rang le Gaeilge bunúsach chun léiriú chonas a labhraítear an teanga álainn atá againn!

For Seachtain na Gaeilge ( a week when Gaeilge is promoted by doing activities and classes all through the Irish language), the Cumann Gaelach are organising a Beginners level Irish language class for International students and those who don't have any Irish. 

We will be teaching a very basic Irish language class, focusing on the pronunciation of the language and conversation starters!

Bigí linn (Be sure to join us).
