Deireadh feasta le \u2018Boarders\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

\u00d3, a Thiarna! ach nach ioma\u00ed scol\u00e1ire c\u00f3naithe a chaith seal de bhlianta, ag d\u00e9<\/span>anamh l\u00e9inn, i Halla\u00ed \u00e1rsa<\/span> Chol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in anseo i gCill Chainnigh, \u00f3 buna\u00edodh an institi\u00faid ch\u00e9anna sin, sa bhliain 1782, d\u00edreach tar \u00e9is aisghairm na bP\u00e9indlithe. Is cuimhin le cuid againn na searmanais a cuireadh ar si\u00fal ansin, sa bhliain 1982, nuair a bh\u00ed com\u00f3radh an dara c\u00e9ad \u00e1 cheili\u00faradh ansin. N\u00ed br\u00e9ag a r\u00e1, gur th\u00e1inig maithe agus m\u00f3r-uaisle \u00c9ireann uilig chugainn, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, le bheith p\u00e1irteach linn sa cheili\u00faradh sin, n\u00f3 admha\u00edodh go forleathan, an t-am sin, gurbh \u00e9 an Col\u00e1iste s\u2019againne, an mhe\u00e1nscoil chaitliceach ba shine sa t\u00edr seo, agus n\u00ed focal beag n\u00f3 suarach \u00e9 sin.<\/span><\/p>

Athruithe iomad\u00fala<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

D\u2019imigh sin \u00e1fach, agus th\u00e1inig seo, agus in \u00e1it a bheith ag ceili\u00faradh \u00f3c\u00e1ide m\u00f3ire eile anois, is amhlaidh at\u00e1 an l\u00e1 buailte linn nuair a chuirfear deireadh le Col\u00e1<\/span>iste Chiar\u00e1in<\/span> mar Chol\u00e1iste C\u00f3naithe. N\u00ed chuirfear cr\u00edoch leis an gCol\u00e1iste mar Institi\u00fad L\u00e9inn \u00e1fach. Leanfaidh an Col\u00e1iste ag freastal ar \u00f3g\u00e1naigh Osra\u00ed, ar b<\/span>h<\/span>ealach a oireann don l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu ann. B\u2019iad na hEaspaig Troy agus Dunne a shaothraigh go dian sa bhliain 1782, le chuile dheis a thabhairt do Chol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in oideachas oiri\u00fanach a chur ar f\u00e1il do Chaitlicigh an d\u00faiche seo, mar nach raibh f\u00e1il ar a leith\u00e9id, i gCr\u00edoch Fodla, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad.<\/span><\/p>

Oideachas baile, feasta.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

N\u00edor chuir m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in aithne ar an gCol\u00e1iste oirirc, \u00e1rsa, seo, go dt\u00ed Geimhreadh na bliana 1966. Bh\u00ed roinnt blianta caite agam i mbun oibre <\/span>cois Life, agus bh\u00ed m\u00e9 ag \u00e9ir\u00ed tuirseach den <\/span>Phr\u00edomhchathair, faoin am sin<\/span> agus ar an \u00e1bhar sin, shocraigh m\u00e9 ar mo sheolta a ard\u00fa, chomh luath is gheobhainn an deis chuige. I Samhain na bliana sin 1966, l\u00e9igh m\u00e9 i gceann de na nuacht\u00e1in, go raibh m\u00fainteoir Gaeilge ag teast\u00e1il uathu i gCol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in anseo i gCill Chainnigh. Chuir m\u00e9 isteach ar an bpost sin, agus ar ball, fuair. Taobh istigh de roinnt seachtain\u00ed, bh\u00ed mo chip is mo mheanaithe bailithe agam, agus m\u00e9 ar mo bhealach aneas. An Luan d\u00e1r gcionn, bh\u00ed m\u00e9 i mbun oibre i Halla\u00ed <\/span>\u00e1rsa <\/span>Chol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Freastal fada, fial.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Ar mo ch\u00e9ad turas chun an Chol\u00e1iste, ba bheag n\u00e1r bhain \u00e1illeacht na h\u00e1ite radharc na s\u00fal d\u00edom. \u201cSeo an \u00e1it domsa feasta,\u201d arsa mise liom fh\u00e9in, \u201cseo an \u00e1it a gcr\u00edochn\u00f3idh m\u00e9 mo laethe mar mh\u00fainteoir.\u201d N\u00ed call dom a r\u00e1, go mba Chliarscoil \u00e9 Col\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in freisin, ag an am, agus \u00e1l maith \u00e1bhar sagairt \u00e1 n-oili\u00faint ansin, le saothr\u00fa i bhf\u00edonghoirt an Tiarna, \u00f3 cheann ceann na cruinne. Ba mh\u00f3r \u00e9 cabhair na n-\u00e1bhar sagairt c\u00e9anna sin i seoladh na me\u00e1nscoile, mar chinnir\u00ed, agus mar mh\u00fainteoir\u00ed creidimh. Ach, n\u00ed horthusan a tharraing m\u00e9 mo sc\u00e9al, an babhta seo, ach ar na scol\u00e1ir\u00ed c\u00f3naithe, a rinne freastal ar an gCol\u00e1iste sin Chiar\u00e1in, \u00f3n mbliain 1782 anuas. Sea, agus caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il<\/span> anseo gur baineadh geit asam<\/span> nuair a l\u00e9igh m\u00e9 sa Kilkenny People, go rabhthas le cr\u00edoch a chur leis an ngn\u00e9 sin d\u2019obair an Chol\u00e1iste i ndeireadh Bhealtaine na bliana 2004, n\u00f3 snadhmadh mo dh\u00e1n-sa agus d\u00e1n na scol\u00e1ir\u00ed c\u00e9anna sin le ch\u00e9ile, thar thr\u00e9imhse dh\u00e1 bhliain is fiche, agus chomh fada is a bhaineann s\u00e9 liomsa, bheadh s\u00e9 deacair agam, a gcomh-mhaith de dhalta\u00ed a fh\u00e1il \u00e1it ar bith faoi lu\u00ed na gr\u00e9ine, N\u00e1r laga an R\u00ed fh\u00e9in iad,<\/span> sna laethe ata romhainn amach.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Seo thios Rosc a chum<\/span> m\u00e9 do dhalta\u00ed<\/span> Cho<\/span>l\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in roinnt blianta \u00f3<\/span> shoin….<\/span><\/p>
