4 Failte bho Ailig Domhnallach Fear-gairm Comhairle nan Eilean Siar A Chairdean Bu mhath leam failte chridheil a chuir oirbh uile gu na h-Eileanan an lar. Se seo an ceathramh Mod a chaidh a chumail anns na h-Eileanan, agus tha mi an lan duil gum bi e a cheart cho soirbheachail is a bha na Modan roimhe. Chan eil teagamh nach eil luchd-tadhail gu Mod anns na h-Eileanan a faighinn bias air canan agus cultar nan Gaidheil gu ire nach fhaigheadh iad ann an aite sam bith eile. Tha Comhairle nan Eilean Siar air a bhith ag obair gu dluth le Comataidh lonadail a’ Mhoid gu deanamh cinnteach gum bi gach goireas na aite airson gach cofhurtachd a thoirt do luchdtad- hail gu na h-Eileanan. Tha muinntir nan Eilean Siar gu math easgaidh a-thaobh Mod a bhith ann an seo agus bidh sin gu math follaiseach bhon fhailte a theid a chur oirbh anns gach cearnaidh. Chaidh ullachadh sonraichte a dheanamh gus feuchainn ris am Mod a leudachadh air feadh nan Eilean air fad a dh’aindeoin is cho sgapte is a tha ar coimhearsnachdan. Mar sin faodaidh sibh a phiobaireachd a chluinntinn ann an Gibhist, iomain fhaicinn cuideachd ann an Gibhist, dannsa Gaidhealach ann an Liurbost, ball-coise agus farpaisean ciuil ann an Steornabhagh. Tha e follaiseach gu bheil Gaidhlig a’ faighinn barrachd speis aig ire naiseanta agus bidh Gaidheil air feadh Alba a’ suileachadh gun tig atharrachadh ann an inbhe na Gaidhlig tro Achd na Gaidhlig a bhith ga coilionadh agus tha pairt chudthromach aig a’ Mhod Naiseanta Rioghail ri chluich ann a bhith a brosnachadh agus a’ togail an inbhe sin. Tha cliu naiseanta aig a’ Mhod agus tha Comhairle nan Eilean Siar toilichte a bhith a’ cuir a taic ri priomh fheis na Gaidhlig agus a’ co-obrachadh le luchd-rianaidh a’ Mhoid gus am bi Mod nan Eilean Siar 2005 na adhbhar toileachas dhan a h-uile duine a bhitheas an sas ann. Tha failte mhdr romhaibh anns na h-Eileanan. Ailig Domhnallach Fear-gairm Comhairle nan Eilean Siar

An-drasta tha Feis Cheilteach Innse Ghall a’ dol agus tha e math dha-riribh a bhith a’ faicinn na tha de dhaoine a’ tighinn a Steornabhagh airson deich bliadhna de dh’fheis a th’ air a bhith soirbheachail dhan luchd-eagrachaidh, a chomharrachadh. Mar sinn fhin, ‘s e luchd saor-thoileach a th’ annta agus tha mi an dochas gum faigh sinn air ionnsachadh bho each a cheile gus deanamh cinnteach gum fag an fheadhainn a tha a’ gabhail paid; agus iadsan a tha ag eisteachd, ar cladaichean le cuimhneachan maireann den t-seors’ as fhearr. ‘S e seo anl02mh Mod againn agus tha e a’ fas nas motha is nas motha le gach bliadhna tha dolseachad. Tha mi an dochas gum bi e cuideachd a’ fas nas fhearr is nas fhearr ach ‘s e ni pearsanta a tha sin dhuibh fa leth. Tha am Mod ann airson a mhealtainn. Chan ann leis a’ Chomunn Gaidhealach no le Companaidh a’ Mhoid a tha e. ‘S ann leibhse a tha e. Tha e ann airson ar canan is ar cultar ardachadh. Agus de an t-aite a b’ fhearr airson leithid de ghreadhnachas na anns na h-Eileanan Siar far an cluinnte a’ Ghaidhlig fhathast ga bruidhinn air na sraidean? Le toiseachadh cuairteachadh a’ Mhoid bidh an tachartas seo anns na h-Eileanan Siar aon uair ann an sia bliadhna co-dhiu. Cha b’ urrainn dhuinn seo a dheanamh gun taic ionmhasail is eile bho Comhairle nan Eilean Siar a tha fad fhradharcach gu leor airson a bhith mothachail de na buannachdan mora ionmhasail is eaconomach a tha co- cheangailte ris a’ phriomh Fheis de chultar is drain Ghaidhlig. Tha taing ri thoirt cuideachd do buidhnean mar lomairt nan Eilean Siar agus do ar priomh urrasairean mar Caledonian Mac a’Bhriuthainn, Banca Rioghail na h-Alba, am Post Rioghail, EventScotland agus Islay Mist airson an taic leantainnich. San dealachadh, chan eil agam ach aon fhacal ri radh - Mealaibh! Aonghas Domhnallach Ceann-suidhe An Comunn Gaidhealach

6 Welcome from Angus MacDonald President An Comunn Gaidhealach Welcome to the Western Isles for Mod 2005. At the time of writing the Hebridean Celtic Festival is in full swing and it is tremendous to see the numbers of people coming to Stornoway to celebrate the tenth anniversary of what has to be seen as a huge success for the organisers. Like ourselves they are all volunteers and 1 hope that we can both learn from each other to ensure that those taking part and those in the audience leave our islands with an everlasting memory of the best kind. This will be our 102nd Mod and it keeps getting bigger and bigger with each passing year. 1 hope it also gets better and better but that is very much a personal matter for each of you. The Mod is there to be enjoyed. It does not belong to An Comunn Gaidhealach or the Mod Company. It belongs to you. It is there for the celebration of our language and culture. Where better therefore for such a celebration to take place than in the Western Isles where Gaelic can still be heard spoken on the street. With the inception of the Mod circuit the Western Isles can now be guaranteed to host this event at least once in every six years. We would be unable to do so without the continued support financial and otherwise of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar who are long sighted enough to appreciate the huge financial and economic benefits associated with this the largest Festival of Gaelic culture and song. Thanks also to organisations such as Western Isles Enterprise and to our main supporters and sponsors such as Caledonian MacBrayne, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Royal Mail, EventScotland and Islay Mist for their continuing support. In conclusion 1 have only one word to say - Enjoy! Angus MacDonald President An Comunn Gaidhealach

On regaining consciousness he starts talking to the empty bed beside him in which he imagines a person called Seoras. This situation is very trying for the staff of the small hospital as they are not sure if Donald really believes that Seoras is there or is he having them on! They are worried that to insist the bed is empty and that Seo- ras is just a figment of his imagination may cause him to go completely “BONKERS”. They are in a dilemma! And must find a way to deal with this situation. What can they do? Should they kill Seoras off? Would it work? Or make the situation worse? One thing only is of the utmost importance SEORAS must go and then only can they start to deal in earnest with Donald who they believe is just enjoying his time in hospital being looked after so well. It might work or it could backfire, who knows. 163 Mod Naiseanta Rioghail Nan Eilean Siar 2005 Drama Awards Duals Award Cuach a’ Phaipeir Bhig West Highland Free Press Quaich (A’ Phriomh Dhuais) (Premier Award) Duais-cuimhne Siusaidh B.
