Will the real St Brigid please stand up? 👋

Here's the evidence which indicates that the Kildare woman was real - and why this is worth emphasising today, writes Dr Niamh Wycherley from the Dept of Early Irish (Sean-Ghaeilge).

We are developing Garraí na Gaeilge to reflect the culture of the School of Celtic Studies, both old and new.

A currach which represents the living culture of the Gaeltacht and of Modern Irish and an Ogham stone which reflects the ancient Early Irish tradition.

This morning we bid farewell to our @ceilteachomn.bsky.social @maynoothuniversity.ie colleague, Dr Eoin Grogan, at a service at Mt Jerome cemetery. @aidanosullivan.bsky.social gave a beautiful speech on behalf of Ireland's community of archaeologists, & Dr Mary Leenane spoke on behalf of Maynooth.

It is with a heavy heart that we convey the sad news of the death of our good friend and colleague, Dr Eoin Grogan. May he rest in peace.

Is oth linn go mór a rá go ndeachaigh ár seanchara agus iar-chomhghleacaí, Dr Eoin Grogan, ar shlí na fírinne. Suaimhneas síoraí go raibh aige.

‘Ní hé cealú na litríochta réiteach na ndeacrachtaí le teagasc na Gaeilge’ Ag cruinniú de Choiste Oireachtais na Gaeilge inné, léirigh toscaireacht as Ollscoil Mhá Nuad amhras mór faoi ghnéithe den díospóireacht faoi theagasc agus mhúineadh na Gaeilge

tuairisc.ie/ni-he-cealu-...

Cén mhaith tuilleadh béime a leagan ar an nGaeilge labhartha más é an cur chuige féin atá fabhtach?

Mar sin de, ní haon réiteach draíochta ar na deacrachtaí seo é cealú na litríochta.
