Conas atá an Misneach”
This is a common greeting in Corca Dhuibhne. It reveals a great deal about the culture of the region. Courage is fundamental to a good life, sustaining us through the bad times, allowing us to reach the good. The question in itself implies communal support for the individual in daily life. It indicates a comprehension of the volatility of courage: it need not always be strong, it may waver, it needs support and development.
In modern society where chaos threatens, and social systems under strain, the need for courage is manifest. It is well to remember that cycles change. The sun shines again. no matter how strong the storm. We endure, things will improve. Keep up your courage, and accept the help of those who help you to sustain it.
“Conas tá an misneach?”
Ar an misneach a mhairimid. Coimeádann sé an dé ionainn, nuair a chaithimid coimeád sa tsúil, agus an saol dorcha timpeall orainn, go drí go ngealann an ghrian aris dúinn. Rud a dhéanann, le foighne. Aithníonn an beannú coitianta seo i gCora Dhuibhne tábacht an mhisnigh, tuigeann sé a leochaileacht, tacaíonn sé lena fhorbairt. Léargas deas é ar fhealsúnacht an chultúir.
Éilíonn gach aon tsaol agus gach aon tréimhse sa tsaol, a mhisneach uathach féin. Agus ins na laethanta diana trína bhfuil an oiread sín daoine ag streachailt faoi láthair, ni mór misneach a chothú. Níl aon rud buan. Casfaidh an roth.

Seachtain Siúlóid agus Caidreacht

The Form for completion will be posted here on Monday morning ! Ideally fill it daily but if you forget you can do so the following day.
This year, to celebrate “Seachtain na Gaeilge” both of our Committees: Coiste na Gaeilge and Our Health & Well-Being Committee hope that everyone in the Community will join us in a week of walking. Its geared for everyone young and old, those with IT skills and those without. We will clock up the hours walked each day, share a daily graph at the end of each day to show how many minutes/hours walking we have done in our Community!
We also ask you to keep within the guidelines.
Walk for 10 minutes, 15 mins up to an hour-whatever suits..once it’s within the 5 km limit. If you meet anyone just greet them as Gaeilge and we will share a greeting for each day!
We are asking as many people as possible to walk a little bit every day from Monday 15th March to Sunday 22nd March and this will include St Patrick’s Day. Ideally, we would like everyone involved and we are especially anxious to spread the message to our friends and neighbors that do not have access to Social Media.
Can everyone speak with their family and friends who do not have access to a computer/do not have the skills to input data on line. We have volunteers listed below who will input the data for anyone who is unable to do so. Just ring or text the nominated volunteers below and they will input your data each day. They are looking forward to hearing from you every day. If you can sign off with Slán or Go raibh maith agat.
Contact numbers for our Volunteers who will take daily calls for the week and input on our web site: So if you walk 10 minutes or over an hour on any given day, fill up the form on the web site, and if you cannot do so ring any of our contacts below with the amount of time walked on that day.
