By this act, the salmon gained The Salmon of Knowledge the world's knowledge. The first person to eat of its flesh would in turn gain this knowledge. The poet Finn Eces or Finegas spent seven years fishing for The Salmon of Knowledge salmon. Finally Finn caught the salmon and gave the fish to Fionn, his servant and son of Cumhaillwith instructions to cook it but on no account to eat any of it. Fionn cooked the salmon, turning The Salmon of Knowledge over and over, but when he touched the fish with his thumb to see if it was cooked, he burnt his finger on a drop of hot cooking fish fat. Fionn sucked on his burned finger to ease the pain. Little did Fionn know that all of the salmon's wisdom had been concentrated into that one drop of fish fat. When he brought the cooked meal to Finn Eces, his master saw that the boy's eyes shone with a previously unseen The Salmon of Knowledge. Finn Eces asked Fionn if he had eaten any of the salmon. Answering no, the boy explained what had happened. Finn Eces realized that Fionn had received the wisdom of the salmon, so gave him the rest of the fish to eat.

  • Research on Use of the Irish Language on Radio

    Research on Use of the Irish Language on Radio

    Research on use of the Irish language on radio January 2018 Dr John Walsh, National University of Ireland, Galway Dr Rosemary Day, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick 1. Introduction The Irish language has had a role in broadcasting since the establishment of Ireland’s first radio station 2RN in 1926. The founders of the state imagined that radio would play a key role in the development of Irish identity in nation-building (Watson, 2003; Pine, 2002; Day, 2012). Following the consolidation of the existing Dublin and Cork stations in 1933, a national audience could hear programmes in Irish for the first time, due to the introduction of a high-powered transmitter in Athlone. Although a separate service was promised for the Gaeltacht in 1926, a distinct station did not materialise until 1972, with the establishment of Raidió na Gaeltachta (Day, 2012). Some Irish is broadcast on RTÉ’s other radio stations but as a full-time national broadcaster, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta provides the majority of Irish language radio broadcasts in the country. Following the introduction of the Radio and Television Act of 1988, the pirate stations that had proliferated during the 1970s and 1980s were put off the air and new commercial broadcasters were licensed. Irish was granted only limited recognition in the schedules of these stations that came on air from 1989 onwards. As a result of a campaign by language activists in Dublin, Raidió na Life was established in 1993 as a community of interest service to serve Irish speakers in the capital (Ó Drisceoil, 2007).
  • Pragmatics Or Irish and Irish English

    Pragmatics Or Irish and Irish English

    From: Carolina Amador Moreno, Kevin McCafferty and Elaine Vaughan (eds) Pragmatic Markers in Irish English. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, pp. 17-36. The Pragmatics of Irish English and Irish Raymond Hickey Abstract The Irish and English languages are spoken by groups of people who belong to the same cultural environment, i.e. both are Irish in the overall cultural sense. This study investigates whether the pragmatics of the Irish language and of Irish English are identical and, if not, to what extent they are different and where these differences lie. There are pragmatic categories in Irish which do not have formal equivalents in English, for instance, the vocative case, the distinction between singular and plural for personal pronouns (though vernacular varieties of Irish English do have this distinction). In addition there are discourse markers in Irish and Irish English which provide material for discussion, e.g. augmentatives and downtoners. Historically, the direction of influence has been from Irish to English but at the present the reverse is the case with many pragmatic particles from English being used in Irish. The data for the discussion stem from collections of Irish and Irish English which offer historical and present-day attestations of both languages. 1. Introduction The aim of the present chapter is to outline the salient pragmatic features of Irish and Irish English. It offers an overview of features from both languages, first English in Ireland (section 2) and then Irish (section 3), proceeding to discuss the possible connections between these features, i.e. considering the likelihood of historical relatedness (section 4).

  • Irish English for the Non-Irish

    Irish English for the Non-Irish

    Irish English for the non-Irish The sections of this text have been extracted largely from Raymond Hickey 2014. A Dictionary of Varieties of English. Malden, MA: Wiley- Blackwell, xxviii + 456 pages with some additions from the research website Variation and Change in Dublin English. The sections consist of (i) all definitions concerning Ireland, (ii) those involving Dublin, (iii) those involving Ulster / Northern Ireland and (iv) various entries for specific features which are particularly prevalent in Ireland. Ireland An island in north-west Europe, west of England, which consists politically of (i) the Republic of Ireland and (ii) Northern Ireland, a constituent part of the United Kingdom. The island has an area of 84,000 sq km and a total population of just under 6.5m. Geographically, the country consists of a flat central area, the Midlands, and a mountainous, jagged western seaboard and a flatter east coast with Dublin, the largest city, in the centre of the east and Belfast, the main city of Northern Ireland, in the north-east. The main ethnic groups are Irish and Ulster Scots. There speakers of Ulster English in Northern Ireland but they do not constitute a recognisable ethnic group today. TRAVELLERS are a sub-group in Irish society but do not constitute a separate ethnicity. Before the arrival of Norman and English settlers in the late twelfth century Ireland was entirely Irish-speaking. In subsequent centuries both French and English established themselves, the latter concentrated in towns on the east coast. The linguistic legacy of this is an archaic dialect area from Dublin down to Waterford.

It has no rail link but is well served by bus and taxi transfers. TAxi An official taxi rank sits outside the forecourt of both terminals. The journey takes about 30 minutes and typically costs €35 (taxis have a Dublin Airport metre system). Tipping is not necessary, but most people will round up by a euro or two. Bus OR coACh There are a number of bus and coach services serving Dublin Airport and the city.

There is one exception: Phoenix Park, home to our President, lies north of the Liffey, but is in fact Dublin 8.

    Ulster-Scots Curriculum Project MEET THE ULSTER-SCOTS Signs Symbols and Myths PUPIL BOOKLET What Is Ulster-Scots? Before we begin work on this unit let’s make sure we all understand what is meant by the term ‘Ulster-Scot’. Do you know exactly where and what ‘Ulster’ is? If not, you will need to find out. You could use a search engine on the internet for this. Here’s how - go to www.google.co.uk/ You can now type in the word ‘Ulster’ and see what suggestions you are given. Look at more than one suggested website for the answer. Remember anyone can create a web page. You should always cross check the information you get from the internet to make sure it is accurate and up-to-date. Just because it is there does not mean it is correct! What Is Ulster-Scots? So now you know that Ulster is one of the four provinces of Ireland. The other three are Munster, Leinster, Connaught. The province of Ulster is made up of nine counties: Down, Tyrone. Antrim, Londonderry, Fermanagh and Armagh which are all in Northern Ireland and Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan which are part of the Republic of Ireland. THE PEOPLE The term ‘Ulster-Scots’ is used to name the people in the six counties of Northern Ireland and the three border counties of (East) Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland whose ancestors came across to Ulster from Scotland. There have been comings and goings across the short stretch of water between the eastern coast of Ulster and south-west Scotland for hundreds if not thousands of years.

They have an amazing life-cycle: the young salmon swim out of the freshwater of the river, to the salty sea of the north Atlantic to feed and grow, then return to the river when they are big enough and swim up the river to spawn.
