Mór an chaill. Is cuimhin liom leabhar leis, 'The Great Silence', teideal a chuirfeadh 'The Great Hunger' i gcuimhne duit. Sin díreach an argóint a bhí aige: gur dhá thubaiste ollmhóra a bhí sa Ghorta agus i meath na Gaeilge, a rinne dochar do shicé an Éireannaigh. Smaointeoir roimh a ionú.

Bhí lúcháir orm nuair a tháinig mé ar an chlosleabhar seo ar Spotify. Ach, níorbh fhada gur aithin mé gur saothar atá aistrithe agus léite ag intleacht shaorga atá ann. Ní thiocfadh liom éisteacht le níos mó ná cúpla abairt. Ní raibh a fhois agam go raibh a léitheid ann 👀

Stair Choimisiún na Gaeltachta á léamh agam. I bhfianaise a tugadh faoi Ghaeltacht na Gaillimhe, dúradh go raibh an Ghaeilge fós láidir ‘sa dá Spidéal’. Tá cur amach agam ar Spidéal amháin - ní mé cá bhfuil an ceann eile?

🚨WATCH: NASA REVEALS THE NIGHT SKY FROM MARS — A VIEW UNLIKE EARTH’S NASA has shared a rare glimpse of the Martian night sky. Unlike Earth, Mars has a much thinner atmosphere, meaning less atmospheric scattering of light and a different view of the cosmos.

A Spéiríní na páirte - an féidir go mbeadh cóip de 'Port na bPúcaí' le Dairena Ní Chinnéide faoina lámh ag duine ar bith agaibh? Foilsíodh é sa chnuasach Poll na Babies (Coiscéim). Bheinn buíoch as pic de - tá mé ag plé le leagan den téacs ach tá mé in amhras faoi leagan amach na línte, spásáil etc.
