Bhí ciall leis an gcur chuige focused on language schemes. This was a sensible approach sin de bharr gurbh iad na scéimeanna teanga an phríomh- because the language schemes were the main mechanism mheicníocht a bhí in úsáid sa reachtaíocht chun dualgas a used by the legislation to impose a legal obligation on public leagan ar chomhlachtaí poiblí réimse seirbhísí a chur ar fáil i bodies to provide varied services in Irish.

  • What's in an Irish Name?
    What’s in an Irish Name? A Study of the Personal Naming Systems of Irish and Irish English Liam Mac Mathúna (St Patrick’s College, Dublin) 1. Introduction: The Irish Patronymic System Prior to 1600 While the history of Irish personal names displays general similarities with the fortunes of the country’s place-names, it also shows significant differences, as both first and second names are closely bound up with the ego-identity of those to whom they belong.1 This paper examines how the indigenous system of Gaelic personal names was moulded to the requirements of a foreign, English-medium administration, and how the early twentieth-century cultural revival prompted the re-establish- ment of an Irish-language nomenclature. It sets out the native Irish system of surnames, which distinguishes formally between male and female (married/ un- married) and shows how this was assimilated into the very different English sys- tem, where one surname is applied to all. A distinguishing feature of nomen- clature in Ireland today is the phenomenon of dual Irish and English language naming, with most individuals accepting that there are two versions of their na- me. The uneasy relationship between these two versions, on the fault-line of lan- guage contact, as it were, is also examined. Thus, the paper demonstrates that personal names, at once the pivots of individual and group identity, are a rich source of continuing insight into the dynamics of Irish and English language contact in Ireland. Irish personal names have a long history. Many of the earliest records of Irish are preserved on standing stones incised with the strokes and dots of ogam, a 1 See the paper given at the Celtic Englishes II Colloquium on the theme of “Toponyms across Languages: The Role of Toponymy in Ireland’s Language Shifts” (Mac Mathúna 2000).

You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/165727/ Deposited on 9 August 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Fadó: A Conservative Survival in Irish? Building on the insightful interpretations provided by Thurneysen (GOI), R. A. Breatnach (1951; 1954), Binchy (1984) and Hamp (1990), this brief contribution suggests an alternative explanation for the etymology and origin of the commonly used Irish adverb fadó (‘long ago’). It proposes a relation with the final element of the ancient legal phrase co nómad n-áu / n-ó and explores the possible connection with Manx er dy (‘since’). The temporal adverb fadó (‘long ago’) survives in Irish but is not found in Scottish Gaelic. The case for the possible survival of fadó in Manx is tentatively made in the appendix. The nearest equivalent in Scottish Gaelic is fada bhuaidh(e) (‘long ago, a long time ago’) – discussed further below – and (bh)o chionn f(h)ada: see, for instance, LASID IV (q. 726, pts a–g; q. 1035, pt c). In traditional tales, we find o chionn fada; o chionn tìm fhada; bho shean, etc. (e.g. McKay 1940–60, II: 54, 88, 358, 17).1 In Scotland, fada is often used with the simple preposition / conjunction (bh)o, e.g.

We welcome you hopefully to two venues today, with critical games in both codes, to Pairc Uí Cheallaigh, Port Gleann Eoghain, Port Chluain Eoghain and to Pairc Naomh Iosaef Lann Abhaigh. We are deeply indebted to both clubs for their expertise and experience in hosting our teams and for having their facilities in such impeccable condition. Both our senior hurlers and footballers have made strong starts to their respective league campaigns. Our footballers have opened with wins against Wexford and most recently in gruelling conditions in Ruislip against London setting up a mouthwatering clash today against Carlow. A solitary point separated us in our away game against Sligo, with an obscurely short amount of additional time being played, when we awaited a kick out with the wind at our backs. Our hurlers have won both games away to Wicklow and home to Mayo, with tougher tests awaiting for the rest of the league, starting today against Meath, who of course beat us in the 2016 Christy Ring final. Storm Dennis defeated both us and Offaly last week, in a key match which will require to be re-fixed before our final fixture away to Kerry in Tralee on 1st March. Promotion from both leagues is a key strategic objective for both panels and whereas it will be difficult we have started as we mean to go on.

    ‘As ucht a bhochtanais Ghaeiligh’ Parody, Poverty, & the Politics of Irish Folklore in An Béal Bocht * Gregory Darwin Harvard University In the foreword to An Béal Bocht, Myles na gCopaleen playfully assumes the role of editor and mimics the language of Pádraig Ó Siochfhradha’s introduction to Tomás Ó Criomthain’s autobiography, An tOileánach.1 The foreword emphasises the value of An Béal Bocht as a resource for learners of the Irish language and as an ethnography, offering an account of the people and way of life of Corca Dorcha, the fictional region where the novel is set.2 It also foregrounds the work of the fictional editor when it states that the majority of the original manuscript had to be left out on the grounds of propriety and that much more material could be published in the future if there is demand. By foregrounding the critical work of the editor in this way, Myles destabilises the ethnographer’s claims to objectivity and scientific truth. This foreword signals to the reader the parodic relationship between An Béal Bocht and not only An tOileánach but the Gaeltacht autobiography in general—one of the most important genres of Irish-language writing in the first half of the 20th century.3 It also calls attention to the processes and institutions whereby these autobiographies are edited and transmitted from the rural margins of Ireland to a national readership, and to the cultural nationalist ideologies driving those institutions. Myles maintains his mock-ethnographic voice in a second foreword that was included in the third edition of the novel, published in 1964, and references a common trope in the prevailing cultural nationalist discourse of the Irish revival: the equation of the material poverty of rural Irish-speaking areas with spiritual or cultural wealth in the form of the Irish language.

  • On Amhrán Na Bhfiann
    On Amhrán na bhFiann Sinne Fianna Fáil, atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn, Buíon dár slua thar toinn do ráinig chugainn, Faoi mhóid bheith saor Seantír ár sinsear feasta, Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill. Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil, Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun báis nó saoil, Le gunna-scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar, Seo libh canaig’ amhrán na bhFiann. Translation Liam Ó Rinn’s Amhrán na bhFiann is a masterpiece of translation. To see this, we’re going to have to acknowledge one important thing: the song upon which it is based, ‘A Soldier’s Song’, is not very good. Actually, it is cringe-inducingly bad. Peadar Kearney wrote some charming songs in his life time, ‘Down by the Glenside’ is haunting when sung right, ‘God Bless England’ is genuinely amusing. But ‘A Soldier’s Song’ blunders clumsily from line to line, heaving in pursuit of the next rhyme - most notably the rhyming of Ireland with ‘Sireland’ (shudder) in the sixth line. It’s adoption as the national anthem was almost certainly a result of its association with the Irish Volunteers in the GPO rather than any literary merit. So, why, when the original source material is so bad, does Amhrán na bhFiann have the dignity and force it has? Well, let’s look at it line by line.1 1 I’ll conne my focus to the chorus. Line by line Sinne Fianna Fáil Soldiers are we From the rst word, we get some explanation. It’s Munster Irish. During the Irish language revival, there were, as you would expect, ghts about which dialect would get to serve as the new standard Irish.

  • Towards a Traumatic Geography of Ireland 1530-1760 and Beyond: the Evidence of Irish Language Texts
    Towards a Traumatic Geography of Ireland 1530-1760 and Beyond: the Evidence of Irish Language Texts William J. Smyth Department of Geography University College Cork ABSTRACT: Many nations and groups have experienced forms of trauma, which mark their memories for a very long time, changing their future identities in very powerful ways. In Ireland, the Protestant settlers experienced such trauma during and after the 1641 Rising/Rebellion. Their memories of these awful events were recorded in the many volumes of the government-commissioned 1641 Depositions and were perpetuated in key official writings and by the state in formal annual church ceremonies. No comparable body of evidence was commissioned to record the many subsequent murders and subjugation of the Catholic Irish at the hands of government forces and local Protestant militias. One must turn to the poems and prose texts in the Irish language to discover the recollection of these and related sufferings of the Catholic Irish. Four such key Irish language texts are examined here: The Annals of the Four Masters, Keating’s The History of Ireland, Five Seventeenth Century Political Poems, and An Duanaire 1600-1900: Poems of the Dispossessed. Major themes explored are the devastating geographies of conquest and English language domination; the forging of new Irish identities in the face of the New English hegemony; the emergence of a history and a literature in the Irish language which repudiates an imperialist ideology and imagines and defines a new national community; and the significance of a poetic literature which describes a devastated culture and ravaged silent landscapes which would long struggle to recover.
