Nuair a chuir m\u00e9 romham, caint a thabhairt faoin bPiarsach agus a shaothar, ag seisi\u00fan <\/span><\/h1>

de Dhaonscoil Osra\u00ed, in \u00d3st\u00e1n an Newpark, i gCill Chainnigh, i nDeireah F\u00f3mhair na bhliain \u00fad, 1979, bh\u00ed na triobl\u00f3id\u00ed ag r\u00e9abadh leo, ina loscadh sl\u00e9ibhe, i dTuaisceart \u00c9ireann f\u00f3s, agus d\u00e1 bharr sin, bh\u00ed cine\u00e1l eagla orm, ag an am, an Piarsach a mholadh, n\u00f3 a mh\u00f3radh, ar eagla, faoi mar ad\u00fairt an Yeatsach fad\u00f3, ar eagla go seolfadh mo chuid cainte-se \u00f3g\u00e1nach eic\u00ednt chun gleo, i gcoinne Gall. Ach tar \u00e9is chuile sh\u00f3rt a chur san \u00e1ireamh, tuigeadh dom, gur ch\u00f3ir dom tabhairt faoin ngn\u00f3 sin, \u00f3 tharla cuimhne c\u00e9ad an Phiarsaigh a bheith \u00e1 chom\u00f3radh, sa bhliain sin, \u201979. Bh\u00ed roinnt oibre d\u00e9anta agam, roimhe sin, ar an \u00e1bhar c\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed sraith altanna uaim foilsithe sa nuacht\u00e1n Gaeilge \u00fad \u201cInniu\u201d, faoin teideal, \u201cA Man Called Pearse\u201d. <\/strong>Mar sin, bh\u00ed fonn orm cur leis an m\u00e9id a bh\u00ed d\u00e9anta agam cheana, agus thosaigh orm ag ullmh\u00fa don \u00f3c\u00e1id.<\/p>

The wise men have not spoken <\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Nuair a thosaigh m\u00e9 ag iarraidh teacht ar bhealach oiri\u00fanach le l\u00e9acht d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id a thos\u00fa, smaoinigh m\u00e9, i dtosach, ar fhocail an Phiarsaigh fh\u00e9in, nuair a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9….<\/p>

\u201cSince the wise men have not spoken<\/p>

I speak who am only a fool…..\u201d<\/p>

N\u00edor den d\u00edogha \u00e9, ach oiread, mar th\u00fas, d\u00e1r liomsa. <\/p>

Ach ansin, c\u00e9ard faoi chuntas gearr a thabhairt ar an chaoi ar chuala m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in faoin bPiarsach, a ch\u00e9aduair, agus tar \u00e9is dom mo mharana a dh\u00e9anamh, shocraigh m\u00e9 ar ghlacadh leis an dara bealach sin mar rogha. Chun oibre, m\u00e1 sea. <\/p>

A Mediaeval Society<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Rugadh agus t\u00f3gadh mise i bpobal saor, in Iorras \u00e1rsa, thiar, mar a dt\u00e9ann an ghrian i bhfarraige, ag deireadh gach lae. Ba phobal \u00e9 a bh\u00ed eagraithe, agus t\u00f3gtha, d\u00edreach mar a bh\u00ed, sna me\u00e1naoiseanna, agus d\u00edreach cos\u00fail leis an bpobal ar dhein an Piarsach teangmh\u00e1il leis, i dt\u00fas an ch\u00e9id, thiar i gConamara. B\u2019in an tIorras ar thit J.M. Synge i ngr\u00e1 leis, agus ar \u00fas\u00e1id s\u00e9 mar shu\u00edomh d\u00e1 dhr\u00e1ma c\u00e1ili\u00fail \u201cThe Playboy of the Western World\u201d. Ba dhuine m\u00e9, de na gas\u00fair shona sin, a rith cosnochta tr\u00ed \u00f3ige sh\u00e1sta, ar thr\u00e1nna geala an Iarthair.<\/p>

The Master had spoken<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

B\u00edodh gur mhinic ganntanas earra\u00ed saolta ag cur as d\u00fainn, n\u00edor chuir ganntanas gr\u00e1 isteach riamh orainn. N\u00edor leag m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in spag taobh istigh de dhoras scoile go raibh mo sheacht\u00fa bliain sl\u00e1naithe agam. Ba sa scoil ch\u00e9anna sin a ch\u00e9adchuala m\u00e9 tr\u00e1cht ar an bPiarsach, ar Mhac Donnchadha, ar an gCl\u00e9ireach, agus ar a gcomhleacaithe uilig, a thug sr\u00e1ideanna naofa \u00c1tha Cliath orthu fh\u00e9in, um Ch\u00e1isc 1916, le tabhairt faoi shaoirse na t\u00edre seo a bhaint amach. Las an M\u00e1istir solas a ngl\u00f3ire, agus a gcalmacht, sa chro\u00ed istigh ionainn an l\u00e1 sin, ach ansin, n\u00e1r bheag a thuig muidinne faoi na c\u00farsa\u00ed sin, sinne n\u00e1r chuala urchar \u00e1 scaoileadh i bhfeirg riamh, agus bh\u00ed ar an m\u00e1istir a dh\u00edcheall a dh\u00e9anamh agus \u00e9 ag iarraidh aithris a dh\u00e9anamh d\u00fainn ar na fuaimeanna c\u00e9anna sin, agus \u00e9 ag iarraidh an difir a bh\u00ed idir shiana\u00edl gh\u00e9ar na sliog\u00e1n, fead gh\u00e9ar agus tuairt, na bpil\u00e9ar, agus rat-at-at na meais\u00ednghunna\u00ed. Chomh fada is a bhain s\u00e9 linne, n\u00ed raibh iontu sin uilig ach fuaimeanna, fuaimeanna nach nd\u00e9anfadh dochar do dhuine ar bith, ach ar ball, rinneamar ceangal eatarthu sin agus bail\u00e9id ar n\u00f3s, \u201cThe Bold Fenian Men\u201d, \u201cThe Foggy Dew\u201d, \u201cThe Three Flowers\u201d, \u201cThe Dying Rebel\u201d, agus fi\u00fa, \u201c\u00d3r\u00f3 \u2019s\u00e9 Do Bheatha Abhaile\u201d an Phiarsaigh fh\u00e9in. Agus b\u2019in mar a d\u2019\u00e9alaigh an Piarsach isteach i gcro\u00edthe \u00e1r n-\u00f3ige. Sea, agus chuir s\u00e9 sin an picti\u00far de, a bh\u00edodh le f\u00e1il go fl\u00fairseach sna leabhair scoile, ag an am, picti\u00far d\u2019fhear \u00f3g, a raibh cuma na soineannantachta, agus na mac\u00e1ntachta air, agus tuigfidh t\u00fa, mar a chuaigh s\u00e9 i gcionn orainne gas\u00fair. Chomh fada is a bhain s\u00e9 linne, ni raibh fuath, binib, n\u00f3 mail\u00eds, ag roinnt leis, agus mh\u00fascail an M\u00e1istir s\u2019againne sp\u00e9is ionain, sa bhfear fh\u00e9in agus ina scr\u00edbhinn\u00ed, freisin. <\/p>

A Different Era<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

N\u00ed call dom a r\u00e1, gur mh\u00f3r againne an leabhr\u00e1n sin \u201cIosag\u00e1n agus Sc\u00e9alta eile\u201d,<\/strong> leabhar a bh\u00ed loml\u00e1n le sc\u00e9alta agus le hatmosf\u00e9ar an Iarthair.<\/p>

D\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, mar sin, gur th\u00e1inig muidinne isteach ag an deireadh, nuair a bh\u00ed cr\u00edoch le heachtra\u00ed agus le himeachta\u00ed an Phiarsaigh, ach mar sin fh\u00e9in, mh\u00fascail a sc\u00e9al suim ina shaothar ionamsa, suim a mhair ionam anuas tr\u00ed chaitheamh na mblianta, go dt\u00ed an l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu fh\u00e9in ann. Sea, agus ag caint ar a dh\u00e1n, bh\u00ed earra amh\u00e1in in easnamh, an t-am sin, n\u00f3 n\u00ed bhfuarthas \u00f3r\u00e1id deiridh an Phiarsaigh, n\u00f3 a \u201cSpeech from the Dock\u201d, mar ad\u00e9arf\u00e1, n\u00f3 n\u00ed raibh f\u00e1il air fi\u00fa, agus mise ag f\u00e1s an\u00edos in Iorras na nIontas, i dtriochaid\u00ed an ocrais, ach tuigeadh d\u00e1 l\u00e1n, go gcaithfeadh a leith\u00e9id a bheith ann, n\u00f3 bh\u00edothas cinnte, go mbeadh \u00f3r\u00e1id ag an bPiarsach don \u00f3c\u00e1id sin, d\u00e1 dtabharfa\u00ed deis chuige d\u00f3, sea, agus b\u00ed cinnte freisin, go mbeadh \u00f3r\u00e1id d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id, snasta, sciomartha, snoite, agus \u00e9 cleachtaithe aige, roimh r\u00e9.<\/p>

Speech from the Dock<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Ar deireadh thiar, tar \u00e9is d\u00f3 triocha bliain a chaitheamh ar deoraiocht, n\u00ed d\u00f3cha go<\/p>

bhf\u00e9adfadh \u00e9inne a r\u00e1, go raibh aon rud nua in \u00f3r\u00e1id deiridh \u00fad an Phiarsaigh, n\u00f3 dhearbhaigh s\u00e9 ar\u00eds ann, go soll\u00fanta, gur mhionnaigh s\u00e9, in aois a dheich mbliana, go gcaithfeadh s\u00e9 a shaol ag iarraidh a th\u00edr a shaoradh.<\/p>

Caithfidh muid a thabhairt faoi deara anseo an difir mh\u00f3r at\u00e1 idir dhearcadh na laethe \u00fad, agus dearcadh an lae inniu, ach smaoinigh freisin, go bhfuil beagnach c\u00e9ad blian imithe faoi dhroichead an ama, san idirlinn.<\/em><\/p>

Seo mar a chuir s\u00e9 fh\u00e9in \u00e9, i ngearrinsint d\u00e1 \u00f3r\u00e1id deiridh…<\/p>

\u201cWhen I was a child of ten I went down on my bare knees by my bedside one night and promised God that I would devote my life to an effort to free my country. I kept that promise. First among all earthly things, as a boy, and as a man, I have worked for Irish freedom. I have helped to organise, to arm, to train, and to discipline my fellow countryman to the same end, that when the <\/p>

time came, they might fight for Irish freedom.\u201d<\/p>
