Lón na Nollaig

Pádraig Mac Maghnais, Príomhfheidhmeannach a d'óstáil Lón na Nollag, agus Seán Ó Ceallaigh, ar iar-uachtarán an CLG agus ainmní Fhine Gael don Toghchán Eorpach atá ag teacht aníos i 2009 é, ina aoichainteoir ann. Ba é Seán an chéad Chiarraíoch i bpost Uachtarán an CLG é, agus rinne sé siamsa don chuideachta ag tabhairt tuairisce ar a shaol go dtí seo.

Bhí baill den fhoireann i láthair as gach cearn de cheantar Bhaile Átha Cliath, agus Treasa Ní Mhurchú, ceannaire tionscadail na Gaeilge, a d'eagraigh an imeacht mar pháirt de thionscnamh "Cumann Gaelach".

Eagraítear ócáidí dá leithéid seo ar mhodh go dtig le fostaithe teacht le chéile in atmaisféar neamhfhoirmeálta chun an "cúpla focal" atá acu a chleachtadh agus chun aithne a chur ar dhaoine eile sa chomhlacht ar mhaith leo feabhas a chur ar a gcuid Ghaeilge. Mar a déarfadh Gift Grub "A Focal A Day Keeps the Doctor Away..."

Má ba mhaith leat imeacht na Gaeilge a eagrú i do cheantar féin, déan teagmháil le Treasa ag 01 7027913 nó r-phost Treasa.NiMhurchu@esb.ie

Hosted by Chief Executive, Padraig McManus, Sean Kelly, ex president of the GAA and Fine Gael nominee to the upcoming European Elections for 2009 was the guest speaker at the Irish language Lón na Nollaig in December. Noted as the first Kerry man to hold the office of President of the GAA, Seán entertained all with an account of his life so far.

Attended by staff from all over the Dublin area the event was arranged by the Irish language project leader, Treasa Ní Mhurchú as part of the "Cumann Gaelach" initiative.

Events such as these are organised to give staff the opportunity to come together in an informal atmosphere to practice their "Cúpla Focal" and to get to know others in the company who would like to improve their Irish Language Skills. As Gift Grub would say, "A Focal A Day Keeps the Doctor Away..."
