"Seo ré úr don theanga".

Irish Language Cumann Launched in Belfast

A new Irish Language Sinn Féin Cumann was launched in Belfast, this week. Tuesday 11th March saw around 200 people in Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich on the Falls Road.

Senator Pearse Doherty, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, Rosa McLaughlin, Chairperson of the Cumann Éamann Mac Mánais and Ógra activist Róise McGivern spoke at the launch. Róise spoke about the cumann and the work they have to do.

Talking about the meeting, Róise said,

“I think this launch was very important. Irish is growing around the country, and our party is growing as well. We must put Irish to the fore, amongst our activists, and amongst the community and in all walks of life.”

Cumann Caoimhín Mhíc Brádaigh is the name of the new Cumann. Caoimhín Mhíc Brádaigh was a courageous IRA Volunteer. He died defending his community and the people in Milltown, on the day Michael Stone attacked the funerals of the Gibraltar 3.

Róise concluded,

“This is a new era for the language.”
