N\u00e1r minic, sna seanlaethe, a chuirt\u00ed duine ar theachtaireacht bhr\u00e9ige \u00f3 theach to teach ar fud an bhaile, le sp\u00f3rt a bhaint as an t\u00e9 a bheadh gann go maith i gciall. Ligeadh chuile dhuine air go raibh s\u00e9 lom d\u00e1ir\u00edre, agus \u00e9 ag seoladh an amad\u00e1in bhoicht \u00f3na dhoras fh\u00e9in, agus \u00e1 chur ar chuairt gan toradh go dt\u00ed na beil dorais. Bhuel, b\u2019in an smaoineamh a rith liom, maidin inniu, an 26 L\u00fanasa, 2002, nuair a chuala m\u00e9 na sc\u00e9alta uilig faoi dhaoine a bheith seolta am\u00fa ag na f\u00f3gra\u00ed nua b\u00f3thair<\/span> \u00fad, a cuireadh i bhfeidhm<\/span>, d\u2019fhonn tr\u00e1cht na Pr\u00edomhchathrach s\u2019againne a choinne\u00e1il ag gluaiseacht, in \u00e1it \u00e9 <\/span>a bheith pl\u00f3daithe,<\/span> faoi mar a bh\u00edodh, le blianta beaga anois. Cuireadh na gluaiste\u00e1naithe bochta timpeall i gciorcal, agu<\/span>s ansin timpeall i bhf\u00e1inne f\u00ed<\/span>, agus mar sin d<\/span>\u00f3ibh, \u00f3 fh\u00e1inne amh\u00e1in go timpeall\u00e1n<\/span> eile, ach i ndeireadh na feide, ba bheag dul chun cinn a bh\u00ed \u00e1 dh\u00e9anamh acu,<\/span> d\u00e1r leo,<\/span> ach iad cos\u00fail leis an t\u00e9 \u00fad a bh\u00ed gann go maith i gciall, \u00e1 chur timpeall an bhaile, \u00f3 theach go teach, ach gur saothar gan toradh a bh\u00ed air, ar deireadh thiar thall.<\/span><\/p>

N\u00e1 ceap anois, go bhfuilimse ag d\u00e9anamh beag is fi\u00fa d\u2019iarrachta\u00ed na n-\u00fadaras a smaoinigh ar an bplean iontach mearaitheach <\/span>seo.<\/span> <\/span>N\u00e1r mhair m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in ar feadh blianta sa chathair ch\u00e9anna sin? agus n\u00e1r mhinic, le blianta beaga anuas, a chaith m\u00e9 s\u00edora\u00edochta\u00ed, mar a b\u2019fhacthas domsa \u00e9, ag iarraidh mo bhealach a dh\u00e9anamh tr\u00edd an tranglam tr\u00e1chta a tharla\u00edonn ar \u201cShr\u00e1ideanna Naofa \u00c1tha Cliath\u201d, ag amannta \u00e1irithe sa l\u00e1, nuair a bh\u00edonn chuile ghluaiste\u00e1na\u00ed sa t\u00edr ag iarraidh a shl\u00ed a dh\u00e9anamh tr\u00edd na sr\u00e1ideanna sin, ag an am gc\u00e9anna. Minic a ghabh m\u00e9 bu\u00edochas le Dia as gan a bheith im\u2019 ch\u00f3na\u00ed, a thuilleadh, san <\/span>Ardchathair s\u2019againne, ach m\u00e9 ag cur f\u00fam anois, ans<\/span>eo i gcathair Chill Chainnigh. <\/span>Ar inis m\u00e9 d<\/span>h<\/span>aoibh, cheana, faoin l\u00e1 a cuireadh m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in, agus mo bhean, ar theachtaireacht amad\u00e1in, tr\u00ed shr\u00e1ideanna na cathrach c\u00e9anna sin? <\/span><\/p>

N\u00edor inis!<\/span><\/p>

L\u00e1 na dTuilte<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

L\u00e1 \u2018le Br\u00edde a bh\u00ed<\/span> ann, d\u00e1r P<\/span>r\u00edosta! L\u00e1 na dtuilte! Agus tharla go raibh m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in is mo bhean ar chuairt ar ospid\u00e9al, thart ar an gCarraig Dhubh, agus tar \u00e9is d\u00fainn cannta maith den l\u00e1 a chaitheamh sa bhfoirgneamh c\u00e9anna sin, bhuaileamar b\u00f3thar, ar \u00e1r mbealach go Maigh Nuat, \u00e1it a raibh socraithe againn an o\u00edche sin a chaitheamh. Bhuel, bh\u00edomar ag d\u00e9anamh \u00e1r sl\u00ed go mall, trom-rothach, go l\u00e1r na cathrach. Suas Sr\u00e1id na bPiarsach linn, s\u00edos Sr\u00e1id Teamhrach, agus \u00e9 ar intinn againn casadh ar chl\u00e9 ag Droichead Butt, faoi mar a dheineamar go minic cheana. Turas \u00e9asca go maith a bheadh ann, d\u00e1r linne, ach \u00e9 a bheith mall, tuirsi\u00fail. Ach, nuair a th\u00e1ngamar chomh fada le Droichead Butt, do bhar\u00fail, nach raibh dh\u00e1 ph\u00f3il\u00ed mh\u00f3ra feistithe ansin, agus a mbait\u00edn\u00ed inairde acu, le cosc a chur le duine ar bith ar theastaigh uaidh casadh ar chl\u00e9 ag an bpointe sin. Rinne m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in chuile dh\u00edcheall a chur in i\u00fal d\u00f3ibh gur theastaigh uaim dul ar chl\u00e9 ansin, n\u00f3 nach raibh malairt bealaigh ar eolas agamsa le mo cheann scr\u00edbe a bhaint amach. Ach d\u2019fh\u00f3gair mo bheirt dom, go neamhbhalbh, gur chuma sa tsioc leosan c\u00e1 raghainn, ach go raibh rud amh\u00e1in cinnte, agus b\u2019in, nach raibh ar intinn acusan m\u00e9 a ligint ar chl\u00e9, ag an bpointe \u00e1irithe sin. Seoladh muid, gan trua, gan taise, amach i bhf\u00e1sach, agus i bhfi\u00e1ntas, thuaisceart na cathrach. Thart le Teach an Chustaim, s\u00edos Sr\u00e1id Amiens, agus fan na Tr\u00e1 Thuaidh amach. Timpeall linn ag Fionnradharc, agus suas Aibhinne Philipsburg. I rith an ama a raibh an bealach sin \u00e1 thaisteal againn, n\u00ed raibh ar \u00e1r gcumas stopadh, n\u00f3 casadh ar dheis, n\u00f3 ar chl\u00e9, n\u00f3 bh\u00edomar gafa go daingean istigh i l\u00e1r shruth tr\u00e1chta, ach ar \u00e1mhara\u00ed an tsaoil, bh\u00ed aithne againn ar \u00e1it amh\u00e1in, fan Aibhinne Philipsburg, agus bh\u00ed ar \u00e1r gcumas, casadh isteach ansin, <\/span>agus l\u00e9arsc\u00e1il na cathrach a tharraingt orainn, f\u00e9achaint conas a d\u2019fh\u00e9adfaimis \u00e9al\u00f3 as dufair dra\u00edochta \u00fad Thuasceart na cathrach. <\/span><\/p>

\u2018Ph<\/span>one a Friend!<\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Ach, cos\u00fail leis an gCl\u00e1r Teilif\u00edse \u00fad \u201cWho wants to be a millionaire\u201d, thug an sos sin deis d\u00fainn glaoch ar chara (To phone a friend!). Rinneamar amhlaidh, agus tar \u00e9is cupla n\u00f3im\u00e9ad, d\u2019\u00e9irigh leis an gcara c\u00e9anna sin bealach \u00e9alaithe as an dtranglam tr\u00e1chta \u00fad a fh\u00e1il d\u00fainn, agus ansin, n\u00ed raibh le d\u00e9anamh agai<\/span>nn, ach a threoracha a lean\u00faint.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Le sc\u00e9al gairid a dh\u00e9anamh de, tar \u00e9is d\u00fainn ceithre huaire go leith a chaitheamh ar f\u00e1n ar shr\u00e1ideanna \u00c1tha Cliath, d\u2019\u00e9irigh linn Maigh Nuat a shroichint, i ndeireadh na d\u00e1la, agus n\u00ed g\u00e1 dhom a r\u00e1, go raibh muid s\u00e1raithe, soncaithe, faoin am sin. \u00d3n l\u00e1 sin amach, b\u00edonn trua an domhain agam fh\u00e9in do ghluaiste\u00e1naithe na hArdchathrach, <\/span>agus d\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a bhfuil s\u00e9 de dhualgas orthu<\/span> bealaigh tr\u00e1chta na hardchathr<\/span>ach a dhr\u00e9achtadh agus a chur i bhfeidhm. <\/span><\/p>
