In memory of Brother Tomás M. Ó Catháin
This has come in from Tom Keane in Ireland. Thanks, Tom!
This is a special notice for all who were once students
of Brother Thomas Munchin Keane, or Bráthair Tomás M. Ó
Catháin. Br. Ó Catháin was born in 1908 and died in
1989. He was a beloved and noble Christian Brother, an
excellent
teacher, mentor, Irish speaker and promoter of hurling
in the schools in which he taught throughout his life, i.e., Marino, Áth
Cliath (1938-44); Cnoc Síon, Port Láirge (1937,
1944-1950, 1957-1966); Dún Garbháin (1950-1956); Teampail
Mhór (1967-1972); agus Ard Scoil Rís, Luimneach
(1972-1984). The Commemoration Committee would like to
obtain publicity for a special event which is to take
place where he was born, Kilnamona, Co. Clare, where the
Committee intends to erect a plaque in his memory this
July. Right now, financial help is being sought from
former students of the Brother around the world. If you

Deireadh Fómhair 2008 -
Rabhadh sláinte dátheangach
Ó mhí Dheireadh
Fómhair 2008, caithfidh rabhadh sláinte ar phacaí tobac
a bheith dátheangach in Éirinn. Thug múinteoir
Gaeltachta, Caitríona Úí Riain, an cás in éadan an Aire
sláinte. Bhí an bua aici agus ordaíodh don stát a
costais a íoc.

October 2008 - A
bilingual health warning
Beginning in October 2008, health warnings on
packs of tobacco in Ireland must be bilingual. A
Gaeltacht teacher, Caitríona Úí Riain, brought the case
against the Minister of Health. She won and the
state was ordered to pay her costs.

Ceachtanna Gaeilge ar fhís, ar líne, agus saor in aisce
ó Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad
Tá sé seo istigh ó Shanti
Hofshi i San Diego agus ó Mháire Mhic an Phríora i
mBÁC. Buíochas libh, a
chairde!
"Chonaic mé an nasc a
leanas san Irish Times.... Tá ceachtanna Gaeilge ar
shuíomh Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad bunaithe ar chláir
nuachta ó TG4. I ngach ceacht, tá tuairisc nuachta le
feiceáil agus ceisteanna le freagairt ar an tuairisc.
Bíonn na ceachtanna ag trí leibhéil... Ag deireadh gach
ceachta bíonn téacs an scéil scríofa amach (i nGaeilge
amháin). Ceapaim gur féidir libh an-fheidhm a bhaint as
an áis nua seo chun bhur gcuid Gaeilge a fheabhsú."

Irish
language lessons on video, on line, and free from
University of Ireland, Maynooth
This report is in from Shanti
Hofshi in San Diego and Máire Mhic an Phríora in Dublin. Thank you
both, a chairde!
"I saw the following link in this month's Irish Times. There are Irish
language lessons on
the website of the University of Ireland, Maynooth, based on
news programs from TG4. In every lesson, there is
a news report to watch and questions to answer about the report.
The lessons are at three levels... At the end of each lesson the text of
the story is written out (in Irish only). I think that you
can make great use of this new resource in order to improve your
Irish." See

A new novel By
Anna Heussaff is now available.

at adult learners with basic fluency in Irish.
We're told that it can be used in conversation groups,
not only as reading material but also as material for
discussion and debate. This novel is available

Tobann for adults and Vortex for children),

Ceist:
Cén fáth go bhfuil Teamhair á milleadh?
Cén fáth go bhfuil Gleann Teamhrach á mhilleadh le
mótairbhealach? An millfeadh na hÉigiptigh Gleann na
Ríthe agus na Piramidí? An gcuirfeadh na Sínigh
mótairbhealach trí Fheart Qin Shi Huangdi? Nó ar an
mBalla Mór? Nach bhfuil aon áit eile don bhóthar seo?
Cé hé an duine a dúirt go gcaithfidh sé dul anseo?
Le do thoil, léigh an t-alt go léir i National
Geographic

shíniú
anseo. Agus ansin, teagmhaigh le hoifig
Chonsúlacht na hÉireann in aice leat, le do
theachtaire, agus le do nuachtáin áitiúla a insint dóibh
do smaointe, le h-aghaidh nó in aghaidh an ruda seo. Domsa féin, tír gan stair, tír gan todhchaí. – An

Question:
Why is Tara being destroyed?
Why is the Valley of Tara being destroyed with a
motorway? Would the Egyptians destroy the Valley
of the Kings or the Pyramids? Would the Chinese
put an expressway through the tomb of their first
emperor Qin? Or on the Great Wall? Isn't there any
place else to put this road? Who is the person who said
it has to go here? Please, read the whole National
Geographic article
HERE. You can sign a petition
here. And then, contact the office of the
Irish Consulate closest to you, your representative, and
your local newspapers to tell them what you think, for
or against this thing. As for me, a country
without a history is a country without a future. –
