‘sup?
Stephen Fry shares his love of the Irish language and recalls his small part in TG4’s Ros na Rún to promote Irish language festival Seachtain na Gaeilge 2017, which begins today until March 17.
Via RTÉ
“What do Stephen Fry, Ronan O’Gara, Stephanie Preissner, Paul Galvin, Nadia Forde and Miriam O’Callaghan all have in common? They are among the famous faces who have taken to their smartphones to share their Irish language experiences – using whatever Irish they have – as part of RTÉ’s Seachtain na Gaeilge 2017 celebrations (1st – 17th March).
Beginning with Stephen Fry’s musings above, RTÉ will share specially recorded messages in and on the Irish language by a number of well-known personalities daily on rte.ie/Snag, RTÉ’s YouTube channel and across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.”
Translation: “Céard atá i bpáirt ag Stephen Fry, Ronan O’Gara, Stephanie Preissner, Paul Galvin, Nadia Forde agus Miriam O’Callaghan lena chéile? Tá siad i measc na ndaoine cáiliúla a roinnfidh a gcuid taithí ar an nGaeilge leis an bpobal ar a bhfón cliste – ag labhairt cibé Gaeilge atá acu – mar chuid de cheiliúradh RTÉ ar Sheachtain na Gaeilge (ón 1ú go dtí an 17ú Márta).
Le Stephen Fry a thosófar Dé Céadaoin an 1ú Márta. Déanfaidh sé féin agus scata daoine cáiliúla eile a gcuid smaointe i dtaobh na Gaeilge a roinnt leis an bpobal i dteachtaireachtaí ar láithreán gréasáin RTÉ, rte.ie/Snag, ar chainéal YouTube RTÉ agus ar na meáin shóisialta, Facebook, Twitter agus Instagram.”
TROID!
It’s promoting the Irish language.
Could you not have had the original post in Irish and then English as ‘the Translation’?
Lol, is that a serious point?
If we had an honours system Nadia Forde’s agent would surely qualify for some class of an award.
I like your new avatar Bertie
Thanks Sheila :)
Always thought your avatar, Sheila, was two solpadeine dissolving in water.
I announce tomorrow is national reset-your-gravatar-password-and-gravatar-day.
I’ll make badges.
I love Solpadeine more than I love some of my extended family.
Both come with health warnings.
Little tip:
You know how they give you the third degree in chemists when you’re buying Solpos?
I usually buy a little box of Lilets too, hey presto, no Spanish inquisition. *
* I’m not proud of this but hey I’m amongst friends, I know you won’t judge me
Man period is nothing to be ashamed of ;)
Probably won’t get away with it for too much longer, I’m getting near to the man-opause:)
Stephen Fry? A clapped-out hissy fit Brit has-been? Jesus… the Irish Language is doomed if that’s the level SNAG has to stop to for advocacy.
None of your posts show an intellectual consistency from one to the other.
It’s quite impressive
“has-been”
Better than being a “never-was”.
Can anyone explain why Seachtain na Gaeilge lasts a fupping fortnight?
You can squeeze two weeks into one in Tir na nOg ya know…
An craic go léir is fearr an Fear Fry !
