Ag l\u00e9amh p\u00edosa faoi Chath Charriag Seabhac, (n\u00f3 Carraig Seac, faoi mar a chuireann Amhlaoibh \u00d3 S\u00failleabh\u00e1in, dialanna\u00ed, \u00e9,) a bh\u00ed m\u00e9, ar na mallaibh, nuair a th\u00e1naig m\u00e9 ar an gcuntas sin faoin ollchruinni\u00fa a bh\u00ed acu, thart ar an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, i mBaile H\u00e9il, <\/p>

faoi mar a chuireann an Dialanna\u00ed c\u00e1ili\u00fail \u00e9. F\u00e9ach mar a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9, faoi\u2019n d\u00e1ta,<\/p>

8\u00fa I\u00fail, 1832…<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cL\u00e1 bre\u00e1. Geal\u00e1in is scail\u00edn\u00ed. Bh\u00edos ag comhthion\u00f3l Bhaile H\u00e9il, l\u00e1imh le Cnoc an T\u00f3chair agus Carraig Seac. Bh\u00ed c\u00e9ad m\u00edle fear ann, an chuid is l\u00fa de. Bh\u00ed fiche m\u00edle marcach ann. Bh\u00ed fir Chontae Loch Garman agus Chontae Thiobraid \u00c1rann ag cur in aghaidh deach\u00fa agus sraith terampaill agus ag iarraidh pharliament do thabhairt thar ais go Baile \u00c1tha Cliath. Labhras i nGaeilge ann.\u201d<\/p>

N\u00e1r chorraithe an tr\u00e1th \u00e9 i stair na t\u00edre seo, n\u00f3 ba ghearr roimhe sin a tharla an mar\u00fa \u00fad i gcath Charraig Seac. <\/p>

\u00d3r\u00e1id i nGaeilge<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

F\u00e9ach an iontr\u00e1il sa Dialann don,<\/p>

15\u00fa Nollaig 1831…<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cBh\u00ed mar\u00fa m\u00f3r ar Shliabh Breathnach l\u00e1imh le Baile Hug\u00fain inn\u00e9. Deirtear gur mara\u00edodh ocht nduine dh\u00e9ag de na p\u00edl\u00e9ir\u00ed noch do bh\u00ed i bhfochair an Bhuitl\u00e9arach ag frioth\u00e1lamh citations go c\u00fairt an easpaig, mar gheall ar dheach\u00fa noch at\u00e1 amuigh ag   Hamilton, minist\u00e9ir Chnoc an T\u00f3chair. T\u00e1 dh\u00e1 dhuine dh\u00e9ag acu s\u00ednte marbh i gCill Mogeanna.\u201d<\/p>

Sea, rinneadh an cath sin, a tharla c\u00e9ad seacht\u00f3 is c\u00faig bliana \u00f3 shoin, a chom\u00f3radh i gCarraig Seac, ar na mallaibh, rud a thug an eachtra, agus an tr\u00e9imhse staire sin chun cuimhne ar\u00eds. Ach le filleadh ar an ollchruinni\u00fa \u00fad i mBaile H\u00e9il, ba \u00e9 an rud ba mh\u00f3 a chuir ionadh orm fh\u00e9in n\u00f3 go ndeireann an Dialanna\u00ed, Amhlaoibh \u00d3 S\u00failleabh\u00e1in fh\u00e9in linn, gur labhair s\u00e9 leis an ollchruinni\u00fa sin i nGaeilge. C\u00e9 cheapfadh go raibh an Ghaeilge chomh beo sin sa d\u00faiche sin an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, sa chaoi go bhf\u00e9adfadh an Dialanna\u00ed c\u00e1ili\u00fail fh\u00e9in \u00f3r\u00e1id i nGaeilge a thabhairt don slua ollmh\u00f3r sin i nGaeilge, agus nach f\u00e9idir linn a bheith cinnte, nach nd\u00e9anfadh s\u00e9 a leith\u00e9id, mura mbeadh a fhios go maith aige, go dtuigfeadh bun\u00fas na n-\u00e9isteoir\u00ed \u00e9? Sea, agus cuir le sin go raibh daoine i l\u00e1thair \u00f3 cheithre Chontae, \u00f3 Chill Chainnigh fh\u00e9in, agus \u00f3 Thiobraid \u00c1rann, \u00f3 Loch Garman agus \u00f3 Phort L\u00e1irge freisin.<\/p>

N\u00edl le d\u00e9anamh ag duine ach dul i dteangmh\u00e1il leis an dtaobh t\u00edre ina gc\u00f3na\u00edonn s\u00e9, le f\u00e1il amach, c\u00e9 chomh Gaelach is at\u00e1 siad f\u00f3s. Baineann daoine \u00fas\u00e1id as na logainmneacha Gaeilge ina gcomhr\u00e1 is ina seanchas, l\u00e1 i ndiaidh lae. Nuair a chloiseann t\u00fa duine ag labhairt faoi Bh\u00f3thar na Manach, tuigeann t\u00fa l\u00e1ithreach, go bhfuil s\u00e9 ag labhairt faoin mb\u00f3thar sin, faoi mar a labhra\u00edodh riamh faoi, sea, agus c\u00e9ard faoin abhainn a sn\u00edonn tr\u00edd an gCathair \u00e1lainn fh\u00e9in, \u201cAn Fheoir\u201d, nach beag difir idir sin agus \u201cThe Nore\u201d, faoi mar a thugtar uirthi i mB\u00e9arla?

N\u00edl dabht ar domhan, ach go mba uaf\u00e1sacch an feall \u00e9, \u00e1r logainmneacha a bhascadh agus a bhearnadh, faoi mar a deineadh leo, agus ar\u00eds, n\u00e1rbh \u00e9 an feall \u00e9, nuair n\u00e1r deineadh iad a chur i r\u00e9im ar\u00eds, tr\u00e1th raibh an deis ag an dt\u00edr a leith\u00e9id a dh\u00e9anamh? <\/p>

Feasta, mar sin, b\u00edmis ag \u00e9isteacht leis an taobh t\u00edre, agus \u00ed ag labhairt linn i nGaeilge, agus muid ag gabh\u00e1il thar br\u00e1id, cuirimis cluas orainn fh\u00e9in, agus tugaimis aird ar a bhfuil le r\u00e1 aici, n\u00f3 is uaithi a sh\u00edolraigh muid, is ar th\u00e1inig romhainn. Sea, mh\u2019anam, t\u00e1 an Ghaeilge coinnithe beo f\u00f3s ag cnoc is ag gleann, ag gort is ag cuim\u00edn, ag b\u00f3thar is ag b\u00f3is\u00edn, \u00e9istimis leo, agus tugaimis freagra orthu ina dteanga dh\u00fachais fh\u00e9in.<\/p>
