Faoi mar a mh\u00ednigh m\u00e9 cheana, d\u2019\u00e9irigh muid tuirseach de Bhaile \u00c1tha Cliath, n\u00f3 chomh fada is a bhain s\u00e9 linne, n\u00edor chathair mar a tuairisc \u00ed, agus i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, tuigeadh d\u00fainn, go n-oirfeadh saol taobh amuigh den ardchathair d\u00fanne. Ar aon n\u00f3s, faoi th\u00fas na scoilbliana 1966\/\u201967, thosaigh m\u00e9 ag scr\u00fad\u00fa na bhf\u00f3gra\u00ed ar\u00eds, f\u00e9achaint an mbeadh aon fhol\u00fantas oiri\u00fanach le f\u00e1il. Ar \u00e1mhara\u00ed an tsaoil, th\u00e1inig m\u00e9 ar fh\u00f3gra d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id i dt\u00fas Dheireadh F\u00f3mhair 1966. F\u00f3gra\u00edodh go raibh fol\u00fantas do mh\u00fainteoir Gaeilge i gCol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in, i gCill Chainnigh, agus gur theastaigh uathu an fol\u00fantas sin a l\u00edonadh, ar an d\u00e1 luathas. <\/p>

Bhuel, chuir m\u00e9 CV chucu, agus glaodh orm teacht chun cainte leo ar Dhomhnach \u00e1irithe. N\u00ed call dom a r\u00e1 gur thugamarna, an chlann ar fad, aghaidh ar Chill Chainnigh ar an l\u00e1 sprioc\u00e1ilte. T\u00fas Dheireadh F\u00f3mhair 1966 a bh\u00ed ann, agus bh\u00ed an t\u00edr ag breathn\u00fa go h\u00e1lainn, ach n\u00edor dhada \u00e9 sin taobh leis an radharc a leagadh os \u00e1r gcomhair amach, nuair a d\u2019iompaigh muid isteach go Col\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in tr\u00ed Gheata Bh\u00f3thar Challainn. Blianta ina dhiaidh sin, scr\u00edobh m\u00e9 p\u00edosa, ag cur s\u00edos ar an \u00f3c\u00e1id sin. B\u2019fh\u00e9idir n\u00e1rbh olc an smaoineamh \u00e9 giota de, a shn\u00edomh isteach anseo……..<\/p>

Visit remembered<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

\u201cI bhF\u00f3mhar na bliana 1966, a ch\u00e9ad leag m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in s\u00fail ar Chol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in. Chuaigh m\u00e9 isteach ar Gheata Chalainn, agus ba bheag n\u00e1r bhain a bhfaca m\u00e9 radharc na s\u00fal d\u00edom, mar ansin, os mo chomhair amach, bh\u00ed foirgneamh \u00e1lainn, gotach, chloch-aoil, suite ar fhaiche ghlan-bhearrtha. Leagadh d\u00fashraith an Fhoirgnimh sin ar an 24\u00fa Deireadh F\u00f3mhair 1836, agus leanadh leis an obair t\u00f3gala sin thr\u00ed bhlianta cr\u00e1ite c\u00e9asta an Ghorta.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Buna\u00edodh Col\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in blianta fada roimhe sin \u00e1fach. Maola\u00edodh roinnt, ar na p\u00e9indlithe, sa bhliain 1782, agus roimh dheireadh na bliana sin, bh\u00ed Col\u00e1iste Caitliceach bunaithe anseo in Osra\u00ed, faoi ph\u00e1tr\u00fantacht an Easpaig<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>Troy. Is amhlaidh a th\u00f3g s\u00e9 Halla ar ch\u00edos, in \u00e1it Col\u00e1iste nua a th\u00f3g\u00e1il. Col\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in a baisteadh ar an scoil nua sin. I dt\u00fas an ch\u00e9id seo, chaith Tom\u00e1s Mac Donncha agus Sheehy Skeffington tr\u00e9imhse mar mh\u00fainteoir\u00ed ar Fhoireann Chol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in. Fuair m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in post ar Fhoireann an Chol\u00e1iste sin sa bhliain 1966.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Bhuel, b\u2019in mar a scr\u00edobh m\u00e9 faoi Chol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in roinnt blianta sula ndeachaigh m\u00e9 ar scor.<\/p>

History and Tradition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Chuaigh an Col\u00e1iste i gcionn go m\u00f3r orm, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed stair agus traidisi\u00fan le l\u00e9amh ar chuile ph\u00f3irse agus c\u00fainne den bhfoirgneamh uasal \u00e1rsa sin. Sea, agus chomh maith le sin, chuir n\u00f3sanna agus traidisi\u00fain na scoile sin duine i dteangmh\u00e1il leis na gl\u00fanta a bh\u00ed imithe romhainn, go h\u00e1irithe leis na mic l\u00e9inn Osra\u00edocha \u00fad a suigh ina Halla\u00ed, a chodail ina shuainliosanna, agus a d\u2019imir ar a fhaich\u00ed imeartha. <\/p>

C\u00e9n cine\u00e1l n\u00f3sanna agus tradisi\u00fain at\u00e1 i gceist agam, an ea? <\/p>

Bhuel, bh\u00ed \u201cbaisteadh na ndalta\u00ed\u201d ar a ndul isteach a ch\u00e9aduair chun na scoile sin, sea, agus baisteadh leasainm orthu ar an \u00f3c\u00e1id sin freisin, leasainm a lean iad, go minic, gur leagadh na hord\u00f3ga orthu. Bh\u00ed n\u00f3s an \u201cVisitation\u201d, n\u00f3 an \u201cViz\u201d mar a thugta\u00ed air de ghn\u00e1th.<\/p>

C\u00e9ard a bh\u00ed i gceist sa \u201cVisitation\u201d c\u00e9anna sin, an ea?<\/p>

Bhuel, chuirt\u00ed dalta\u00ed na scoile sin faoi scr\u00fad\u00fa ceithre huaire sa bhliain, um Shamhain, um Nollaig, um Ch\u00e1isc, agus ansin ag deireadh na scoilbhliana. Nuair a bh\u00edodh tortha\u00ed na scr\u00faduithe sin r\u00e9idh, thagadh an tUachtar\u00e1n, agus duine de na D\u00e9ain, ar chuairt, (b\u2019in an \u201cVisitation,\u201d) chuig chuile Halla. Thagadh siad isteach an doras, agus chloisfe\u00e1 bior\u00e1n ag titim ar an url\u00e1r, n\u00f3 n\u00ed bh\u00edodh g\u00edog n\u00f3 m\u00edog as duine ar bith sa rang, mar tuigeadh d\u00f3ibh, go bhfaigheadh roinnt mhaith d\u00edobh dualgas na slaite sara mbeadh an searmanas thart. Thosa\u00edodh an tUachtar\u00e1n ar na tortha\u00ed a l\u00e9amh amach, agus bh\u00ed chuile dhalta i mbaol, n\u00f3 ba chuma c\u00e9 acu th\u00e1inig s\u00e9 sa ch\u00e9ad \u00e1it, n\u00f3 san \u00e1it deiridh, murar \u00e9irigh leis n\u00edos fearr sa scr\u00fad\u00fa sin, n\u00e1 mar a dhein s\u00e9 sa scr\u00fad\u00fa roimhe sin, bhronnfa\u00ed na lead\u00f3ga air go fial, flaithi\u00fail. N\u00edorbh \u00e9 an tUachtar\u00e1n fh\u00e9in a dh\u00e9anadh na lead\u00f3ga sin a thabhairt, ach an D\u00e9an, fear na slaite. <\/p>

Sea, mh\u2019anam, n\u00edor chreid \u00fadar\u00e1is Chol\u00e1ist\u00ed, n\u00f3 Scoileanna, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, gur choir an tslat a sp\u00e1r\u00e1il ar eagla go millf\u00ed a ndalta\u00ed! I nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, d\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, nach raibh aon ghanntanas leathair, n\u00f3 slaite, ag cur as do mh\u00fainteoir\u00ed, faoin am \u00e1irithe sin. sheans, go mba l\u00fa seans f\u00f3s ar a leith\u00e9id a thitim amach, thar na blianta roimhe sin<\/p>

\u00d3 tharla go raibh Cliarscoil ar an gCampus c\u00e9anna leis an Me\u00e1nscoil i gCol\u00e1iste Chiar\u00e1in, bh\u00edodh \u00e1it an-t\u00e1bhachtach ag na h\u00c1bhair Sagairt i saol na scoile sin. Dheineadh siad An Teagasc Cr\u00edosta\u00ed, agus \u00e1bhair d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id, a mh\u00faineadh sa Mhe\u00e1nscoil, rud a thugadh an-chabhair do mh\u00fainteoir\u00ed na Me\u00e1nscoile, agus chomh maith le sin, bh\u00edodh na \u201cEcclesiastics\u201d, n\u00f3 na \u201cCleezies\u201d mar a thugadh na dalta\u00ed me\u00e1nscoile orthu, ina gcinnir\u00ed orthu freisin. <\/p>
