Preab-ghaeltacht i Londain chun an Ghaeilge a cheiliúradh agus deoraithe a mhealladh abhaile

Beidh ocáid Preab Ghaeltacht á reachtáil ag Comhairle Chontae Thír Chonaill i Londain chun an Ghaeilge a cheiliúradh i bpríomh chathair Shasana – agus daoine a mhealladh ar ais go dtí a bhfód dúchais.

Dar le Joe Kelly, leabharlannaí atá fostaithe ag an gComhairle Contae i mbrainse Ghaoth Dobhair na seirbhíse, is ceiliúradh ar an dteanga agus ar Thír Chonaill atá i gceist le h-0cáid an Domhnaigh.

“Má tá suim acu teacht go hÉireann, ba chóir dóibh teacht go Tír Chonaill mar tá cuid mhór ar siúl anseo.”

Thug an leabharlannaí le fios freisin go raibh go leor buntáistí ag baint le bogadh thar nais go Tír Chonaill agus luaigh sé áiteanna i scoileanna Gaeltachta agus gaelscoileanna do pháistí i measc na dtoscaí sin. Mhínigh sé go raibh sé féin agus a chlann tar éis bogadh thar nais go dtí a fhód dhúchais tar éis bheith ina gconaí sa phríomhchathair, Baile Átha Cliath, ar feadh seal.

“Tuigeann muid go bhfuil daoine ann atá meallta chuig an chontae mar gheall ar Ghaeilge agus an cultúr Gaelach.

“Bíonn lear mór imeachtaí Gaeilge eagraithe ag an tseirbhís leabharlainne agus na hoifigigh pleanála teanga.

Is coincheap an preab ghaeltacht – nó Pop-Up Gaeltacht as Béarla – a thosnaigh sa phríomhchathair anseo in Éirinn agus atá tar éis scaipeadh ar fuaid na cruinne le h-ocáidí preab Ghaeltacht i gCeanada, an tSeapáin, an Áraib Shádach agus ar nais anseo i bpobail Gaeltachta na hÉireann fiú.

Tagann daoine le chéile, cuid acu atá líofa sa Ghaeilge agus cuid eile le cúpla focal, agus bionn craic acu le chéile as Gaeilge an oiread agus is féidir le linn na h-ocáide. Is minic a bhíonn na h-ocáidí seo i dtithe tábhairne nó i gcaiféanna.
