Chéad Chomhdháil Óige Na Gaeil Óga
“Ní neart go cur le chéile” is é téama na Comhdhála Óige atá á heagrú ag Na Gaeil Óga, Dé Luain seo chugainn i gColáiste na Tríonóide i mBaile Átha Cliath. Is iad Siún Nic Gearailt, Daithí Mac Cárthaigh, Rossa Ó Snódaigh (Kíla) agus Pádraig Ó Ceithearnaigh cuid de na haíonna a dhéanfaidh cainteanna ar an ábhar “An Óige agus an Ghaeilge”.

Tá sé mar aidhm ag an gcomhdháil seo daoine óga a spreagadh leis an nGaeilge tríd a gcearta i leith na teanga, ról na Gaeilge sa chóras oideachais, agus tábhacht na n-inimirceach i gcur chun cinn na teanga a chur in iúl dóibh. Beidh óg-eagraíochtaí, cumainn ghaelacha, baill Na Gaeil Óga, daoine óga agus pobal na Gaeilge i gcoitinne ag freastal air.

Dar le Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa, Cathaoirleach Na Gaeil Óga, go bhfuil “an Ghaeilge ag éirí níos gnéasúla, spéisiúla agus spraoiúla toisc an borradh atá ag teacht ar shaol sóisialta phobal na Gaeilge. Is gá tógáil air seo tríd daoine óga a chur ar an eolas mar gheall ar a gcearta teanga agus ar an óg-ghluaiseacht Ghaeilge, chun todhchaí na teanga a shlánú i measc an chéid ghlúine eile.”

Tá Na Gaeil Óga ina óg-eagraíocht neamhspleách go polaitiúil, a fheidhmíonn chun nasc gníomhaíochta agus sóisialta a chruthú idir grúpaí óige atá sa spéis acu sa Ghaeilge.

Beidh an Chomhdháil Óige seo á reáchtáil sa Swift Lecture Theatre ar Dé Luain, 23 Eanáir ag a 7.30i.n. Is féidir teacht ar a thuilleadh eolais ó 085 739 5580 nó ó nagaeiloga@gmail.com.

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: 16 January, 2006

Na Gaeil Óga: Youth Conference
“Ní neart go cur le chéile” or Strength in Coming Together is the theme of the Youth Conference organised by Na Gaeil Óga, for next Monday in Trinity College in Dublin. The conference will be chaired by PopTV’s, Sorcha Ní Thomáin and will feature guest speakers such as, Siún Nic Gearailt, Rossa Ó Snódaigh (Kíla), Daithí Mac Cárthaigh, and Pádraig Ó Ceithearnaigh on the theme of “Young People and the Irish Language”.

The aim of the conference is to inspire young people to use Irish by informing them of their rights with regard to the Irish Language, the role of the Irish language in the Irish education systems, and the importance of promoting the language amongst the growing immigrant communities in Ireland. Youth organisations, Irish language student societies, Na Gaeil Óga members, young people and members of the Irish language community will be attending the Conference.

Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa, Na Gaeil Óga Chairperson, says that “Irish is increasingly becoming sexier, more interesting and more enjoyable mainly as a result of the current boom in the social calendar of the Irish language community. We must build from this by making young people aware of their rights in relation to Irish and aware of an ever-growing and vibrant Irish language youth movement if we are to secure the future of the language for the next generations.”

Na Gaeil Óga is an politically independent youth movement, that aims to develop social and activism based links between youth organisations and individuals interested in Irish.

The youth conference will be held in the Swift Lecture Theatre on Monday, 23 January at 7.30pm. For more information contact +353 85 739 5580 or at nagaeiloga@gmail.com.
