Cén fáth an blag seo? Why this blog?

The title is a deliberate mix of dialect Irish.  Don't sing?  Why?!

Ar Scoil Ghaeilge Ghearóid Tóibín an samhradh seo, beidh ceardlann againn ag scrúdú amhrán na Gaeilge, agus roinnfear ábhar don cheardlann seo ar an mblag seo.  Má éiríonn go maith linn, is féidir go leanfar ar aghaidh le hamhráin eile ar an mblag amháin.

At The Gerry Tobin Irish Language School this summer, we will have a workshop studying Irish language songs, and material for this workshop will be shared on this blog.  If things go well for us, it is possible we might continue with other songs just on this blog.


Bíonn dhá insint ar scéal agus dhá leagan déag ar amhrán.
