Exciting week promised for Éigse na Tríonóide
Aslan- Louis dePaor- Rith 2010- the ‘Irish Ball’- students making the shape of a giant Gaelic Heart in Front Square!! These are some of the highlights planned for Éigse na Tríonóide 2010 (Trinity’s annual Irish language festival) which runs from the 8-12 March in the heart of the capital city.
The programme commences lunchtime Monday with the launch of the lively Cumann Gaelach journal ‘Tuathal’. A large group of students will gather in Front Square at 3.00pm, attired in red t-shirts to form the shape of a Gaelic Heart, in the presence of GAA star Shay Fitzpatrick.
On Tuesday a bilingual Art Tour will be held on campus and a Céilí Mór takes place in the evening in Trinity Hall, Dartry, where a student residency scheme is located.
On Wednesday, the recent debating workshop sessions will culminate in the Debating Workshops Final. The well-known TG4 personality Máirtín Tom Sheáinín, will join us for the presentations of the Fáinne, followed by music and a glass of wine. At 6.30pm, links between Ireland and Scotland will be celebrated in the Public Theatre with a concert featuring poetry and music from Louis de Paor, Ronán Browne and Griogair Labhruidh.
Renowned group Aslan, along with The Hounds of Culann, will play at Gig Mór na Mac Léinn in The Village (Wexford Street) at 9pm, and a large and vibrant crowd is expected at this event.
On Thursday, Choral Evensong (Urnaí na Nóna) will be sung in Irish in the College Chapel. Later, TCD students will take part in Rith 2010 in the city centre, clad in formal dress wear for Ball na Gaeilge (the main event of the week) to be held in the Russell Court Hotel at 9.30pm. There will be plenty to eat and to drink, and ‘oíche go maidin’ (a night until morning) is expected!
A Campus Tour in Irish will take place at 2pm on Friday. The Éigse programme will be drawn to an appropriate close with ceol agus craic in the College’s Pavillion bar at 3pm, as the events of the week are good-humouredly dissected!
