Nuair a bh\u00ed mise ag freastal ar Chol\u00e1iste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh, faoi l\u00e1r dhaichid\u00ed na haoise seo caite, ba \u00e9 ba Uachrar\u00e1n ar an Institi\u00fad sin, ag an am, n\u00f3 an Docht\u00fair Alfred O\u2019Rahilly. An-scol\u00e1ire agus an-Ghael ba ea an fear c\u00e9anna sin, agus an-Chr\u00edosta\u00ed freisin, d\u00e1 nd\u00e9arfainn \u00e9, ach cib\u00e9 faoi sin, bh\u00ed de n\u00f3s aige, chuile bhliain, teacht dheireadh an Charghais, l\u00e9acht a thabhairt ar an \u2018Turin Shroud\u2019 agus a raibh le foghlaim againn uaidh, faoi Ph\u00e1is agus faoi Bh\u00e1s \u00cdosa. Chuireadh s\u00e9 t\u00fas leis an l\u00e9acht sin, tr\u00edna r\u00e1 linn, gurbh \u00ed seo a sheanm\u00f3ir bhliant\u00fail.

T\u00e1 s\u00fail agam go mbainfidh sibh taitneamh, agus tairbhe aisti!!<\/p>

Anois, agus cruas Laethe na B\u00f3 Riabha\u00ed ag cur ghoimh fuachta in aer th\u00fas an Aibre\u00e1in, filleann mo smaointe, uair amh\u00e1in eile, ar L\u00e1 \u2018le P\u00e1draig, agus tugaim chun cuimhne, go nd\u00fairt P\u00e1draig go dtabharfadh s\u00e9 chuile l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1 dh\u00fainn, i ndiaidh na F\u00e9il\u2019 P\u00e1draig, agus leath an lae sin freisin.
