Bh\u00ed an \u00e1it an-mh\u00f3r go deo, n\u00f3 c\u00e9 gur cheannaigh an SMA, Dromantine House, thart ar l\u00e1r na bhfichid\u00ed, n\u00edor oscla\u00edodh \u00e9 mar Chol\u00e1iste Diagachta an SMA, go dt\u00ed an bhliain 1926. Ba \u00e9 an tAthair Slattery, a bh\u00ed taobh thiar den tionscnamh sin uilig. Anois, ba \u00e9 an sc\u00e9al a chuala mise n\u00f3, gur cuireadh an Teach M\u00f3r agus an fheirm mh\u00f3r a bh\u00ed ag gabh\u00e1il leis, ar an margadh, agus c\u00e9 gur chuir lucht an SMA suim agus dh\u00e1 shuim sa seal\u00fachas c\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 d\u2019oirfeadh siad go seoigh d\u00e1 riachtanais, agus biodh go raibh an t-airgead acu chuige, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, tuigeadh d\u00f3ibh nach mbeadh seans ar domhan go nd\u00edolfa\u00ed d\u2019eagra\u00edocht Chaitliceach, cos\u00fail leis an SMA, iad, agus ba \u00e9 dhein siad, n\u00f3 \u00e9 a cheannacht tr\u00ed dhl\u00edod\u00f3ir.

Mo chuidse de, tharla am eic\u00ednt, le linn mo laethe sa Chol\u00e1iste Diagachta sin Dhroim an tS\u00edn, go raibh orm seal a chaitheamh in Ospid\u00e9al an Mhater, i mB\u00e9al Feirste. Bh\u00ed cupla gear\u00e1n ag cur as dom, ag an am, agus b\u2019\u00e9igean dom seal a chaitheamh istigh.

Nuair a bh\u00ed mo sheal san ospid\u00e9al sin caite, bh\u00ed orm, mar a mh\u00edneoidh m\u00e9 dhuit amach anseo, mo bhealach a dh\u00e9anamh ar ais go dt\u00ed an Col\u00e1iste, ach nuair a thuirling m\u00e9 den bhus, ag an mbus-stad ba ch\u00f3ngara\u00ed do Dhroim an tS\u00edn, bh\u00ed rothar f\u00e1gtha ansin dom. Bhuel, n\u00edor luaithe suite ar mo rothar m\u00e9, agus m\u00e9 ag tos\u00fa ar mo thuras abhaile, n\u00f3 chonaic m\u00e9 beirt fhear ag l\u00e9imt ar rothair, taobh thiar d\u00edom, agus thuig m\u00e9 l\u00e1ithreach, go raibh siad sa t\u00f3ir orm. Agus b\u00edodh go raibh m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in lagaithe go maith, tar \u00e9is mo sheal san ospid\u00e9al, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, thuig m\u00e9 br\u00ed an tseanfhocail go r\u00ed-maith \u201cnuair is crua don chailleach caithfidh s\u00ed rith\u201d, agus geallaimse dhuit \u00e9, go mbeadh s\u00e9 deacair go maith teacht suas liom, sa an r\u00e1s sin go dt\u00ed geata m\u00f3r an Chol\u00e1iste. Ar aon chuma, d\u2019\u00e9irigh liom geata an Chol\u00e1iste a bhaint amach rompu, agus n\u00edor lean an bheirt ghaisc\u00edoch isteach thar an ngeata c\u00e9anna sin m\u00e9. D\u00faradh liom, ar ball, go mba bhaill de na \u201cB Specials\u201d a bh\u00ed iontu, agus chuile sheans, d\u00e1 mb\u00e9arfaid\u00eds orm, go dt\u00f3gfa\u00ed chun na beairice m\u00e9, le mo cheisti\u00fa, cib\u00e9 c\u00e9n saghas ceisteanna a bheadh a bheadh acu? Ar aon n\u00f3s, tuigeadh domsa, nach gcuirf\u00ed aon r\u00f3-fh\u00e1ilte romham sa mbeairic ch\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 tuigeadh dom, nach maith an n\u00f3s \u00e9 bheith ag br\u00fa ar an ndoicheall, agus b\u00ed cinnte dhe, go moth\u00f3f\u00e1 an doicheall amh, oscailte, c\u00e9anna sin, romhat, sa d\u00faiche ch\u00e9anna sin.<\/p>

Comhartha eile nach raibh aon r\u00f3-fh\u00e1ilte romhainne, sna bailte in aice l\u00e1imhe linn, n\u00f3,<\/p>

Chuirfeadh an torann millteanach, cluasphl\u00e9ascach, aduain sin, an cro\u00ed trasna ionat, nuair a chloisfe\u00e1 \u00e9 i l\u00e1r na ho\u00edche ci\u00faine, agus gan a fhios agat, i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, c\u00e9n fuadar a bh\u00ed faoi na fir bhu\u00ed a bh\u00ed timpeall ort, ag an am. Ar aon n\u00f3s, thangamar sl\u00e1n \u00f3 na hionsaithe sin uilig, ach m\u00e1 th\u00e1inig fh\u00e9in, fanann cuimhne na n-o\u00edcheannta sin, go glas f\u00f3s i gcro\u00ed mo chuimhne, agus fanfaidh go leagfar na hord\u00f3ga orm, n\u00f3 tuigeadh domsa, ach go h\u00e1irithe, gur le drochr\u00fan agus le drochchro\u00ed, a buaileadh chuile buille d\u00e1r chualamar uathusan. Bh\u00edodh fait\u00edos orm fh\u00e9in i gc\u00f3na\u00ed, go gcuirfid\u00eds an \u00e1it tr\u00ed thine, ach bh\u00edodh an t-\u00e1dh orainn go mb\u00edodh an Col\u00e1iste d\u00fanta thart faoin \u201cTwalfth\u201d, agus bh\u00ednn fh\u00e9in ar mo sh\u00e1imh\u00edn s\u00f3, thiar in Iorras na nIontas, agus gan sp\u00e9is d\u00e1 laghad agam sna fir bhu\u00ed, n\u00f3 ina gcuid m\u00e1irse\u00e1la. Ach \u00f3 tharla gur luaigh m\u00e9 Dromantine House, sa chomhr\u00e1 sin, is d\u00f3cha gur ch\u00f3ir dom a lua, gur thr\u00e9igh an SMA an t-ionad sin, sa bhliain 1973, nuair a shocraigh siad ar a gcuid staid\u00e9ar Diagachta a dh\u00e9anamh feasta, i M\u00e1 Nuat.<\/p>
