(Ar le<\/em><\/span>an\u00faint \u00f3<\/em><\/span>n tseachtain seo caite)<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Naomh\u00f3g Inis G\u00e9idhe<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Chr\u00ed<\/span>ochnaigh<\/span> <\/span>muid an tseachtain s<\/span>eo caite agus tagairt \u00e1<\/span> dh\u00e9anamh <\/span>againn <\/span>do Naomh\u00f3g Inis G\u00e9<\/span>, agus do<\/span>n chumhacht uilig<\/span> a tuigeadh a bheith ag an<\/span> n<\/span>deailbh\u00edn naofa si<\/span>n<\/span>, agus d\u00fais\u00edonn caint d\u00e1 leith\u00e9<\/span>id an cheist…<\/span>m\u00e1 bh\u00ed<\/span> an chumhacht sin uilig ag<\/span> \u201cNaomh\u00f3g\u201d sin Inis G\u00e9idh<\/span>e<\/span>, tuige n\u00e1r baineadh \u00fas\u00e1id aisti, <\/span>le linn na stoirme uaf\u00e1sa\u00ed \u00fad<\/span> <\/span>1927?<\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Bhuel, t\u00e1 c\u00fais mhaith le sin, n\u00f3 tharla sa dara leath den nao\u00fa haois d\u00e9ag, gur ghabh an sagart par\u00e1iste an \u201cNaomh\u00f3g\u201d, agus ar bhealach amh\u00e1in, n\u00f3 ar bhealach eile,<\/span> gur<\/span> chuir s\u00e9 cos i bpoll lei. Ba \u00e9 c\u00fais a bh\u00ed leis an ionsa\u00ed sin ar an <\/span>n<\/span>dealbh, n\u00f3 go raibh daoine<\/span> \u00e1irithe<\/span> ag ma\u00edomh go raibh dia br\u00e9ige \u00e1 adhradh ag muintir Inis G\u00e9idh<\/span>e<\/span>. F\u00e9ach mar a chuir an <\/span>       <\/span>t-\u00fadar \u00e9…<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>Some years later the Rev T.A. Armstrong, who was ordain<\/span>ed in Ballina in 1846 wrote <\/span>…<\/span>– <\/span>\u2018<\/span>still more gross superstition in the neighbouring island of Inishkea where a stone idol was invoked for the protection of the inhabitants and vengeance on their enemies. This image was carefully clothed in flannel and when taken out for any special purpose was dressed in a new suit on return to the house in which it had been lodged. It was warmed by the fire and put into the comfortable bed that was alotted for it.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Is d\u00f3cha gur spreag altanna d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id na sagairt chun gn\u00edmh, agus ba \u00e9 deireadh an sc\u00e9il \u00e9 n\u00f3 gur b\u00e1itheadh an \u201cNaomh\u00f3g\u201d i ndoimhneas na Farraige M\u00f3ire. <\/span><\/p>

N\u00ed g\u00e1 dhom a r\u00e1, go bhfuil an leabhar seo, \u201cTHE INISHKEAS,\u201d loml\u00e1n d\u2019eolas de chuile shaghas, faoi phobail na n-oile\u00e1n, agus faoin gcine\u00e1l saoil a chaith siad, le linn d\u00f3ibh bheith ag cur f\u00fathu ar Inis G\u00e9idh<\/span>e<\/span>, ach le cr\u00edoch a chur leis an bp\u00edosa seo faoin leabhar iontach seo, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir gur ch\u00f3ir dom tagairt a dh\u00e9anamh d\u2019\u00e1bhar amh\u00e1in eile.<\/span><\/p>

C\u00e9n t-\u00e1bhar \u00e9 sin, an ea?<\/span><\/p>

Foghail Mhara<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Bhuel, an gcreidfe\u00e1 \u00e9, d\u00e1 nd\u00e9arfainn \u201cfoghail mhara\u201d leat? <\/span><\/p>

Ach conas a d\u2019fh\u00e9adfaid\u00eds an cheird sin a <\/span>chleachtadh agus gan acu ach cu<\/span>racha agus clocha? <\/span><\/p>

Bhuel, f\u00e9ach mar a chuireann an t-\u00fadar s\u00edos ar na c\u00farsai c\u00e9anna sin….<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>The sea as a provider of less honest earnings through piracy developed in the 1830s and reached a peak in the 1840s. By this time, being becalmed in the waters around Inishkea was dangerous for any boat. The means whereby the currach crews subdued the sailing craft was described as follows. \u201cThe boats carried no arms but each<\/span> carries<\/span> a quantity of stones which they shower<\/span> o<\/span>n the deck<\/span> <\/span>and <\/span>that <\/span>drove the crew<\/span> below.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ag an bpointe sin, th\u00e9adh lucht na gcurach ar bord, agus ghlacaid\u00eds seilbh ar an mb\u00e1d, agus d\u2019arda\u00edd\u00eds leo pe last a bh\u00ed ar bord. Le linn an G<\/span>horta Mh\u00f3ir, bh\u00ed pl\u00far a nd\u00f3thain<\/span> acu, tar \u00e9is d\u00f3ibh last pl\u00fair a ard\u00fa leo, \u00f3 bh\u00e1d seoil d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id, f\u00e9ach mar a chuirtear s\u00edos ar eachtra d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id.<\/span><\/p>

The efficiency of the plunder can be guaged by the action on the <\/span>Maris<\/em><\/span><\/strong>, <\/em><\/span>already mentioned. Two boats came alongside, threw a shower of stones at the crew, men landed and took over the helm, <\/span>unbattened the hatches and offloaded ten tons of flour. A short time later two more boats came alongside. In all, the captain estimated that fifty men were involved.<\/span><\/p>

M\u00e1 t\u00e1 na huimhreacha sin intaofa, n\u00e1r mh\u00f3r ar fad an m\u00e9id daoine a d\u2019fh\u00e9adfaid\u00eds a bhaili\u00fa le ch\u00e9ile in achar gearr? Caithfidh go raibh c\u00f3ras \u00e9ifeachtach comhartha\u00edochta acu, le go bhf\u00e9adfaid\u00eds glaoch ar a ch\u00e9ile, ar \u00e1im\u00e9ar na faille. Bhuel, caithfidh m\u00e9 an chuid eile den obair a fh\u00e1g\u00e1il f\u00faibh fh\u00e9in. M\u00e1 thagann sibh trasna ar an leabhar seo. \u201cThe Ini<\/span>shkeas\u201d l\u00e9<\/span>igh \u00e9, n\u00f3 t\u00e1<\/span> m\u00e9 cinnte go mbainfidh sibh taitneamh as.<\/span><\/p>

F\u00e9ach mar a chuir Se\u00e1n \u00d3 Monach\u00e1in cr\u00edoch lena chaoineadh faoin mb\u00e1thadh m\u00f3r sin 1927….<\/span> <\/span><\/p>
