Seachtain na Gaeilge in Áth Cliath Theas 2017

Tá Comhairle Contae Átha Cliath Theas agus Seirbhísí Leabharlainne Átha Cliath Theas an-sásta, agus iad i gcomhar le hÁras Chrónáin, Seachtain na Gaeilge in Áth Cliath Theas (SnaGÁCT) a chur in bhur láthair i mbliana. Is féile ar leith í seo a dhíríonn aird agus a dhéanann ceiliúradh ar ár gcultúr trí cheol, damhsa, ealaíona, agus ar ndóigh, trínár dteanga álainn.

Bhí SnaGÁCT seolta go hoifigiúil ag an Méara Guss O’Connell ar 21 Feabhra i Leabharlann Contae, Tamhlacht . Beidh an clár ar siúl ó 1 – 17 Márta. Ar na himeachtaí iontacha a bheidh ar siúl i mbliana, beidh ceolchoirm speisialta le Kíla, ranganna do gach leibhéal, ceardlann le John Spillane, seisiúin ceoil thraidisiúnta, agus cuid mhaith ócáidí spraíúla eile agus beidh an chuid is mó acu saor in aisce.

Tá an Méara Guss O’Connell an-sásta deis a bheith aici an clár seo a sheoladh. Deir sé an méid seo - “Mar Mhéara bím ag bualadh le hionadaithe óna 120 náisiún difriúla atá ina gcónaí in Átha Cliath Theas agus spreagaim iad dhá rud a dhéanamh. Ar an gcéad dul síos, gan dearmad a dhéanamh ar a dteanga, a n-amhráin agus a rince féin, agus an dara rud na tá tuiscint agus meas a léiriú ar theanga amhráin, rince agus ar chultúir shaibhir na hÉireann atá beo bríomhar sa chontae seo.

Impím ar fhir agus mná mo thíre féin a bheith linn agus muid ag ceiliúradh cad is brí le bheith I d’Éireannach tríd rud nua a dhéanamh, is cuma cé chomh bheag, a nascainn muid lenár n-oidhreacht.

Launch of Seachtain na Gaeilge Atha Cliath Theas 2017

South Dublin County Council and South Dublin Library Services in partnership with Áras Chrónáin are delighted to bring you this year’s Seachtain na Gaeilge Átha Cliath Theas (SnaGÁCT). This is a unique festival which highlights and celebrates our culture through music, dance, arts and of course our beautiful language.

SnaGÁCT was launched officially by Mayor Guss O’Connell on 21st February in County Library, Tallaght. The programme will run from 1st – 17th March. This year’s wonderful calendar of events includes a special concert by Kila, The Mayor’s Céilé, classes for all levels, a workshop with John Spillane, traditional music sessions, and many other entertaining events, most of which are free of charge.

Mayor Guss O’Connell is delighted to have been given the opportunity to launch this programme, he said “As Mayor I get to meet with groups representing some 120 different nationalities that now comprise South Dublin County, I encourage them to do two things. First, to hold onto their language song and dance, and secondly to get to know and appreciate the language, songs, dance and culture of ancient Ireland that is still as vibrant as ever.

I also urge my fellow Irish men and women to join in celebrating what it means to be Gaelic by doing something new, however small, to remain in contact with our ancient roots.”
