Slí na gCopaleen Gort a'Choirce Meitheamh 2014

Nuair a chríochnaigh Brian Ó Nualláin

(Myles na gCopaleen, Flann O’Brien)

scrúdaithe na céime in Ollscoil Bhaile

Átha Cliath chan go Magaluf a chuaigh sé

féin agus a chairde ach go Gort a'Choirce.

Bhí cúis mhaith gur go Gort a'Choirce a

tháinig sé agus i mbliana, don chéad uair,

táthar ag déanamh ceiliúradh ar an

cheangal a bhí ag ceann de mhór

scríbhneoirí an chéad seo caite leis an

bhaile beag Gaeltachta seo. Is seo an fear

a scríobh An Béal Bocht, The Third

Policeman agus The Dalkey Archive.

Níl inseacht scéil ar an tionchar a bhí ag

Gort a'Choirce agus muintir na háite ar

shamhlaíocht, Gaeilge agus cumas grinn

an scríbhneora.

Is i nGort a'Choirce a d’fhoghlaim a áthair, Micheál, a chuid Gaeilge, is go Gort a'Choirce a

thagadh siad ar laethanta saoire ina óige agus is i nGort a'Choirce a fuarthas na cailíní aimsire a

chuaigh leis an teaghlach le aire a thabhairt dona páistí agus leis an Ghaeilge a choinneáil mar

theanga an teaghlaigh, ba chuma cén áit ghallda ina raibh siad.

Ar an tSatharn, an 28ú agus an Domhnach an 29ú de mhí an Mheithimh 2014 beidh an t-aon

duine atá beo go fóill de chlann Bhriain, sé sin a dheartháir Micheál, an t-ealaíontóir cáiliúil, i

láthair le tús a chur le na himeachtaí. Le cois turas rothaíochta, ina mbeidh stopadh ag tithe

tábhairne ar an bhealach don ‘pint of plain’ riachtanach, beidh idir lucht léinn agus lucht na dea-

mhéin ansin le píosaí cainte a thabhairt faoin fear é féin.

Bí linn don deireadh seachtaine stairiúil seo – ní bheidha leithéid arís ann.

Slí na gCopaleen Gort a' Choirce June 2014

When Brian O’Nolan (Myles na gCopaleen,

Flann O’ Brien) finished his degree exams

in University College Dublin it wasn’t to

Maguluf he headed with his friends but to

Gortahork.

There was a good reason that he chose

Gortahork and this year, for the first time,

we are celebrating the connection that the

small Gaeltacht town has with one of the

most celebrated writers of the last century.

This is the man who wrote An Béal Bocht,

The Third Policeman and The Dalkey

Archive.

It would be hard to quantify the extent of

the influence of Gortahork and its

inhabitants on the imagination, language

agus comic understanding of the writer.

It was in Gortahork that Micheál, his father, learnt his Irish, it was to Gortahork that they came on

their family holidays and it was from Gortahork their parents employed the help needed to raise the

large family and to maintain Irish as the spoken language of the household regardless of where they

happened to live.

On Saturday the 28th & Sunday the 29th of June 2014 the last surviving member of Brian’s family, his

brother Micheál, the celebrated artist, will be present to kickstart the events. There will be a cycling trip

following the route of the original cycling tour, where stopping for ‘a pint of plain’ will be compulsory.

Join us for this historical weekend – there will never beits likes again.
