Send email to: runai@cumann.ieDebateNext Wednesday, 24 March 2010, the Cumann Gaelach will be hosting the Gael-Linn third level debate. The debate will take place between Trinity College, DCU, and Queen's University Belfast. The motion for the day will be that, "Irish should be made an optional subject in the Leaving Certificate."There will be a prize and trophy on the day for the winning team, so it's worth coming along to Museum 4 next Wednesday, to show support for the Cumann Gaelach team - Pádraig Schaler agus Oisín Mistéil.More info: diospoireacht@cumann.ie or the cumann gaelach facebook page. Tue, 23 Mar 2010 18:48:39 +0000 http://www.cumann.ie/index.php?lang=en http://www.cumann.ie/index.php?id=15 Irish language Week (Éigse) is finally upon us!! This is the most important week for the Irish language in Trinity because it is a festival to be celebrated by every single person in the college (not just the members of An Cumann Gaelach). Éigse gives everyone a chance to go to various events while at the same time using their Irish. The week's events begin with the Launch of 'Tuathal' (the Cumann Gaelach's magazine) in the Atrium at 1pm. See the timetable above.NB: Just a small but very important thing about Éigse. During all the fun, the Ball,the Gig etc..The Cumann have organised to collect money for two charities very important to the Cumann and to the Irish Department-Shane's Homeless Fund and for the Hospice in Raheny. You'll see the white buckets at most of our events during the week so please give whatever you can during Éigse. If you want any more info. just ask a member of theCumann Gaelach committee. Also if you have any bus tickets with refunds left on them you can throw them into the buckets too and they'll be greatly appreciated.Éigse's Big NightsAs you can see, there's going to be loads of various different events going on all week. The biggest night of the week is the Gig Mór with Aslan in the Village (The Hounds of Culann and a DJ after too). Tickets for this Gig will be on sale Monday from the stand in the Arts' Block.
