Bh\u00ed m\u00e9 ag smaoineamh, an l\u00e1 faoi dheireadh, ar n\u00f3s a bh\u00ed againn, agus muid ag freastal ar Chol\u00e1iste na hOllscoile, Gaillimh, i ndaichid\u00ed, agus i gcaogaid\u00ed na haoise seo caite. Bh\u00edodh o\u00edche faoi leith againn, chuile bhliain, len\u00e1r gclamhs\u00e1n a dh\u00e9anamh os ard, faoin gCol\u00e1iste, agus faoi chuile rud a bhain leis freisin. B\u2019iontach cliste an n\u00f3s \u00e9, n\u00f3 thug s\u00e9 deis do na mic l\u00e9inn a racht a ligean amach, ar bhealach n\u00e1r dhein dochar n\u00f3 dam\u00e1iste do dhuine ar bith, n\u00f3 don Chol\u00e1iste fh\u00e9in fi\u00fa, d\u00e1 nd\u00e9arfainn \u00e9!

Cuma sa diabhal c\u00e9ard t\u00e1 \u00e1 fh\u00f3gairt acu, n\u00f3 \u00e1 dh\u00edol acu, d\u00e9anfaidh siad chuile iarracht a chur ina lu\u00ed ar na d\u00fachasaigh bhochta, gur m\u00f3ide go m\u00f3r fada a seans, bean a mhealladh, n\u00f3 a bhr\u00e9agadh, an truif\u00e9is seo at\u00e1 idir cham\u00e1in acu, a ithe, n\u00f3 a chaitheamh, n\u00f3 fi\u00fa, a bhronnadh. Chuirfeadh a leith\u00e9id de chur i gc\u00e9ill m\u00faisc ar mhuc, agus n\u00ed beag n\u00f3 suarach an focal \u00e9 sin!<\/p>

Caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il, nach fonn p\u00f3ite a chuirfeadh a leith\u00e9id de ghraimisc ormsa, ach fonn m\u00faisce!<\/p>

Cuireann drochphlean\u00e1il le b\u00e1in\u00ed freisin m\u00e9, go h\u00e1irithe, nuair a tharla\u00edonn s\u00e9 sa Chathair \u00c1lainn s\u2019againne anseo i gCill Chainnigh. <\/p>

Ach, cinnte, n\u00edl aon drochphlean\u00e1il \u00e1 dh\u00e9anamh anseo sa Chathair \u00c1lainn?<\/p>

Bhuel, n\u00ed raibh m\u00e9 cinnte go dt\u00ed seo, ach m\u00e9 ag ceapadh nach gcuirfeadh s\u00e9 le maise an limist\u00e9ir sin. <\/p>

An raibh t\u00fa th\u00edos ansin, ar na mallaibh?<\/p>

Bhuel, b\u2019fhi\u00fa dhuit cuairt a thabhairt ar an tSr\u00e1id stairi\u00fail ch\u00e9anna sin, ceann de na laethe seo, agus is \u00e9 at\u00e1 i gceist agam anseo, n\u00f3 dul isteach ansin ar do chois, n\u00f3 n\u00ed f\u00e9idir le duine tada a fheice\u00e1il i gceart tr\u00ed fhuinneoga an ghluaiste\u00e1in.

Tuige, an ea?<\/p>

Chuile thuige. Ar an gc\u00e9ad dul s\u00edos, d\u00e9anann s\u00e9 proch\u00f3g cheart, chr\u00edochnaithe, den tsr\u00e1id sin, n\u00f3 deineann s\u00e9 \u00ed a ch\u00fang\u00fa, agus a dhorch\u00fa freisin.

D\u2019fh\u00e1s siad mar a bheadh goir\u00edn\u00ed cnis, ar chraiceann na cathrach, agus in ionad aon laghd\u00fa a theacht orthu, is amhlaidh at\u00e1 siad ag m\u00e9ad\u00fa, i dtoirt, agus in uimhir, in aghaidh na bliana.<\/p>

T\u00e1 s\u00e9 soil\u00e9ir do mhadra\u00ed an bhaile fh\u00e9in, go bhfuil c\u00farsa\u00ed imithe chun an donais ar fad, le tamall de bhlianta anuas. N\u00edl duine ar bith s\u00e1bh\u00e1ilte amuigh ar bh\u00f3thar, n\u00f3 ar shr\u00e1id, anois, n\u00f3 t\u00e1 daoine amuigh ansin, nach gcuirfeadh s\u00e9 as puinn d\u00f3ibh, scian a sh\u00e1 go feirc i nduine eile, agus sin i nduine nach bhfuil aithne n\u00f3 eolas acu air, ar mhaithe le cupla Euro a ghoid, le toit\u00edn\u00ed a cheannacht! N\u00edl dabht ar domhan, ach gur bheag an luach a leagann cuid acu sin ar bheatha an daonna\u00ed, na laethe seo. Sea, agus n\u00ed rud n\u00e1d\u00fartha \u00e9 sin, n\u00ed hea mh\u2019anam, is rud \u00e9 a mh\u00faintear agus a fhoghlaim\u00edtear, agus sin an chuid is uaf\u00e1sa\u00ed, agus is scannraith\u00ed, den sceal ar fad. \u00d3! bhuel, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir go dtiocfaidh feabhas ar ch\u00farsa\u00ed, an bhliain seo chugainn.<\/p>

Cuireann salachar le b\u00e1in\u00ed m\u00e9 freisin, go h\u00e1irithe, m\u00e1 fheicimse duine ag caitheamh m\u00e1m bruscair uaidh, amach tr\u00ed fhuinneog a ghluaiste\u00e1in, agus dream eile, at\u00e1 d\u00edreach chomh dona leosasn, n\u00f3 iad si\u00fad a chaitheann uathu, go f\u00e1nach, ar shr\u00e1id, n\u00f3 ar bh\u00f3thar, cib\u00e9 dramha\u00edl a thagann trasna orthu, p\u00e1ip\u00e9ir, bosca\u00ed, n\u00f3 m\u00e1la\u00ed plaisteacha, b\u00edodh nach mb\u00edonn na m\u00e1la\u00ed c\u00e9anna sin leath chomh fl\u00fairseach is a bh\u00edodh.

Caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il anseo, sul m\u00e1 chr\u00edochna\u00edm an p\u00edosa seo, go gcuireann dreamanna \u00e1irithe le cuthach m\u00e9, agus sin iad na dreamanna a th\u00e9ann amach, ag iarraidh cur ina lu\u00ed ar an Rialtas, gurb iad \u2018b\u00e9al an phobail\u2019 iad, nuair at\u00e1 fhios ag madra\u00ed an bhaile fh\u00e9in nach bhfuil taobh thiar d\u00edobh ach dreaim\u00edn suarach d\u00e1 lucht leanta fh\u00e9in. Nach cuma cad \u00e9 an cinneadh a dh\u00e9anann an Rialtas, na laethe seo, mar chomh luath is at\u00e1 an cinneadh sin d\u00e9anta acu, b\u00ed cinnte go mbeidh dream eic\u00ednt amuigh ansin lena bhf\u00f3gra\u00ed, agus iad ag \u00e1iteamh ar an saol m\u00f3r, nach bhfuil siadsan s\u00e1sta le cinneadh \u00fad an Rialtais. Nach gcuirfeadh siad an seansc\u00e9al sin i gcuimhne dhuit?<\/p>

C\u00e9n seansc\u00e9al, an ea?<\/p>

Bhuel, bh\u00edodh sc\u00e9al acu, blianta \u00f3 shoin, faoi \u00c9ireannach d\u00edlis, ar sunc\u00e1ladh an long, a raibh s\u00e9 ag seoladh uirthi, agus ar caitheadh i dt\u00edr \u00e9, \u00e1it eic\u00ednt ar ch\u00f3sta na S\u00edne.
