An Dréacht-Bhille Rollúcháin Scoile do Bhunscoileanna agus Iarbhunscoileanna
Deireadh Fómhair 16, 2013
Fáiltíonn GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. roimh fhoilsiú an dréacht-bhille rollúcháin scoile do bhunscoileanna agus iarbhunscoileanna. Ar an 2 Meán Fómhair 2013 d’fhoilsigh an tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna, Ruairí Quinn TD, dréachtscéim Ghinearálta do Bhille Oideachais (Ligean Isteach ar Scoil), 2013 mar aon le dréachtrialacháin chun a bpléite sula n-achtófar an reachtaíocht.
Is mian le GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. buíochas mór a ghabháil le gach scoil agus le gach duine a chabhraigh lena bhfeachtas sainmheon teanga na scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge a chosaint. Léiríonn an dréacht-bhille dea-thoradh an fheachtais sin sa mhéid is nach mbeidh bac ar scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge tús áite a thabhairt do theaghlaigh lán-Ghaeilge, ná go mbeidh bac ar iarbhunscoileanna lán-Ghaeilge tús áite a thabhairt do ghaelscoileanna mar scoileanna friothálacha.
Faoin rialachán nua:
- Ní ligfí do scoileanna iarratais ar ligean isteach a ghlacadh roimh 1ú Deireadh Fómhair na bliana roimh bhliain an rolluithe ach go gceadófaí tréimhse níos faide ná sin i gcás scoileanna cónaithe.
- Bheadh sé ar chumas an Aire a rialú nach ceadaithe táillí iontrála ar bith a iarraidh nó a ghearradh mar choinníoll le hiarratas a dhéanamh ar ligean isteach ar scoil.
- Ní bheadh scoileanna in ann agallaimh a chur ar thuismitheoirí agus páistí roimh an rollú.
- Áit gur féidir le scoileanna a chruthú go bhfuil liostaí feithimh ar bun acu, is féidir, de mhaolú air sin, ligint dóibh na liostaí sin a ghlanadh thar thréimhse roinnt blianta.
- Ligfear do scoileanna tús áite a thabhairt d’iarratasóir gur siblín é/í le mac léinn nó iarmhac léinn de chuid na scoile.
- Déileálfar le hachomhairc ag leibhéal na scoile.
Aithníonn GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. go bhfuil tuiscint léirithe sa dréacht bhille seo ar riachtanais na scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge leis an mbunchosaint atá ann don sainmheon teanga sa phróiseas iontrála. Is ábhar imní é áfach i gcás scoileanna a bhfuil ró-éileamh orthu go mbeidh bac orthu agallamh a chur ar thuismitheoirí, modh oibre atá ag roinnt scoileanna chun cumas agus nósmhaireacht teanga clainne a thomhais. Dúshlán an-mhór eile atá sonraithe sa dréachtbhille ná go mbeidh bac ar thosaíocht a thabhairt don fhreastal ar réamhscoil / naíonra. Aithnítear sa teoiric agus sa chleachtas go bhfuil fíor-thábhacht leis an luath-thumadh sa Ghaeilge sa naíonra mar ullmhúchán don bhunscoil lán-Ghaeilge, agus leagann an-chuid bunscoileanna lán-Ghaeilge an-bhéim ar an eispéireas foghlama seo sa pholasaí rollúcháin.
Deir Bláthnaid ní Ghréacháin, Ardfheidhmeannach GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. “táimid ag súil le dul i ngleic anois leis an bpróiseas comhairliúcháin faoi impleachtaí na mbeart atá molta. Táimid ag fanacht ar dháta le dul os chomhair an Chomhchoiste Oideachais agus tuigtear dúinn go dtarlóidh sé laistigh de cúpla seachtain. Idir an dá linn fáilteoimid roimh thuairimí na scoileanna maidir leis na himpleachtaí praiticiúla lena mbaineann.”
Seo thíos cáipéisí an dréacht bhille:
- Draft General Scheme PDF
- Draft Regulations Content of Policy PDF
- Draft Regulations on Admission Process PDF
- Aighneachtaí á lorg – Fógra an Oireachtais
Tá aighneacht á ullmhú ag GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. faoi láthair lena chur faoi bhráid Chomhchoiste Oireachtais um Oideachas agus Coimirce Shóisialach maidir le Dréacht-Scéim Ghinearálta Bhille Oideachais (rollachán scoile). Ba mhór againn tuairimí agus moltaí na scoileanna maidir leis an gcóras reatha rollacháin agus na hathraithe molta ar an gcóras sin a fháil go háirithe mar a bhaineann le córas nua a bheadh sásúil chun sainmheon na scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge a chosaint. Scaipeadh suirbhé ar phríomhoidí na scoileanna le gairid agus déanfar tuairisciú ar na torthaí anseo go luath.

Pinocchio: a rebel icon that appeals to real boys and girls in any language
Deireadh Fómhair 15, 2013
When Mairéad and Ionia Ní Chróinín were small, their father, Dáibhí, would read them the tale of Pinocchio, which had been translated into Irish directly from Italian by Pádraig Ó Buachalla in the early 1930s.
Eachtra Phinocchio was, as Carlo Collodi’s original story had been, somewhat darker and deeper than the fantasy created for cinema by Walt Disney. Later on, their father was instrumental in bringing out a new edition in Irish, with illustrations. What struck his older daughter Mairéad was the appeal the story had for teenagers. Here was a marionette with an overwhelming urge to rebel, and a character who was “far more interesting for all that”. And so, decades later, she and one of her younger siblings fashioned a bilingual version for stage, which has won critical acclaim, received a Stewart Parker award for Irish- language drama, and which enjoys its final outing this week, at the Baboró International Arts Festival for Children in Galway. “Well, we think it’s final, but you never know.” Mairéad and Ionia, co-directors of Moonfish Theatre, laugh.
O’Connor adaptation
They have good reason to feel cheerful. Just hours before this interview, they were informed that An Taibhdhearc theatre would stage their new production, based on Joseph O’Connor’s novel, Star of the Sea, at next year’s Galways Arts Festival. As with Tromluí Phinocchio (Pinocchio: A Nightmare), their approach to this new project involves a number of developmental stages. And so, during the final weekend of this month’s Galway Theatre Festival, they invited a small audience to an upstairs Taibhdhearc studio to view their “work in progress” on interpreting aspects of O’Connor’s text. Sample scenes were rehearsed – such as The Monster, The Victim, Captain’s Log – and the single-sheet programme came with a series of questions formulated by the ensemble. “We really do like to work with an audience early on. There’s a model for theatre, but it was one that we didn’t feel very fulfilled by,” they say, acknowledging that their method can be a painstaking way of working. The pair set up their company after an impromptu production at the Project 06 alternative arts festival in Galway seven years ago, when Ionia, a puppeteer and musician, had returned from studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now known as the Royal Conservatoire) in Glasgow. Mairéad, who studied politics at the University of Glasgow, was also back west with experience in stage management gained in Dublin. Ionia, who is also involved with the Branar theatre company in Galway, spent a period with Danish practitioners who would take more than a year to develop a show.
Walking away
“It was a series of blocks, if you like, where walking away for a time in between each segment was just as important … a bit like leaving an instrument down after labouring over a tune, and picking it up again days later to find you can play it so much better,” she says. “It’s not a way of working that suits some actors, but it was one that we developed quite consciously with The Secret Garden in 2009.”
That adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett was first staged at the Galway Theatre Festival in 2009, and the entire ensemble was involved in production, direction, costume choice, set design, construction, music and lighting. “It’s very loose, no one is telling anyone what to do, everyone is encouraged to make suggestions, and so it can feel quite unsafe. Even with our morning warm-up, everyone takes turns, and we don’t hold auditions. Discarding ideas is as important as creating them, as those ideas that are strong enough tend to return.” The Ní Chróiníns grew up in a creative and bilingual household. Their father, Daibhí, is professor of medieval history at NUI Galway and their mother, Maura, is the main mover behind the Galway Early Music Festival.
Music and language
Their approach in Moonfish extends to music – everyone seems to be able to sing or play an instrument or both – and the Irish language, which they prefer to see as limitless, rather than limiting, in terms of communication. Foras na Gaeilge, their main funder, clearly has no problem with that. “We were involved in a co-production of Ibsen’s Enemy of the People (Namhaid don Phobal) in the Taibhdhearc in 2009, where we used surtitles for those with little or no Irish,” they recall. “We got a mixed response to that, because there is a view that one should not be doing this. But there are so many people with such goodwill to the language, who are so stressed about their perceived inability to use it, that we wanted to reach out to them.” Motion, image and expression are employed to transcend linguistic boundaries, and in Tromluí Phinocchio, the puppet’s insistence on speaking English is integral to his teenage revolt. Branar and other Galway Gaeltacht-based companies such as Fibín also use that kind of physical imagery successfully, relying on the intuitive sense that younger audiences have about a storyline in any language. Baboró artistic director Lali Morris says current issues for young people, such as bullying and taking responsibility for choices and actions as they affect other people, are themes skilfully addressed by Moonfish in Tromluí Phinocchio. “This is a group that is not just doing children’s theatre for a while, but really wants to challenge their audiences of any age,” she says. “What is striking about their work is their extraordinary energy, range of talents and, ultimately, their respect for the intellect of the child.”
Highlights: Baboró children’s festival
Baboró is the Galway-based international arts festival for children. Along with Moonfish’s production of Tromluí Phinocchio, highlights of the festival include Collapsing Horse Theatre Company’s Human Child, inspired by WB Yeats’s poem The Stolen Child, and an Abbey Theatre production of Me, Mollser , the story of a young Dubliner (played by Mary-Louise McCarthy) who is struck by consumption during the 1913 Lockout. Other shows include two by La Baracca – Testoni Ragazzi, the Italian children’s theatre group from Bologna, and one by the Dutch puppet company Theatre Lejo, while American singer Tom Chapin, a periodic Baboró visitor, returns. Also returning is the Catherine Wheels Theatre Company of Scotland’s Lifeboat, which first came to Galway in 2003. A number of free events running during the week including creative activities in the Exploratorium – a temporary activity centre that will focus on arts, technology and science. The festival is introducing a “relaxed programme” for parents or teachers who may have concerns about bringing children with specific needs to public venues. Pictiúr, the work of 21 leading children’s book illustrators, will also be exhibited at the Galway Arts Centre, while author and illustrator Oisín McGann visits on Saturday.
Baboró runs until Sunday. baboro.ie

Irish language is core of our culture
Deireadh Fómhair 14, 2013
Madam — As an ardent fan of Gay Byrne as a constant promoter of the sociable ‘cúpla focal’ I was amazed at his ‘Ochón! Ochón!’ attitude to the Irish language ( Sunday Independent, October 6, 2013).
Declan Lynch seemed amazed also at how “Un-Irish he (Gay) has been in many ways” and having read the entire article, I must say I sure did not feel very upbeat, or inclined to utter maith an buachaill, Gaybo! There are a lot of aspects to the Irish language movement that I ignore, but I applaud the many conversation groups who meet to chat and relish the chance to revive and preserve our native tongue, it’s the core of our Irish culture and at the heart of our traditional values.
Yes I have encountered the Gaeilgeoir in the extreme, bail ó Dhia air, I respect him and move on. As a written and spoken language, Gaeilge is one of the richest, floweriest canúint — the likes of its humorous, richly descriptive characteristics and witty proverbs are not to be found in any other language. May I suggest a translation of your book Gaybo, which would be entitled “Brí na Beatha” and all my cáirde-le-chéile in our friendly ciorcal chómhrá could enjoy a pleasant read and a chat over the cupán tae!
