Chumann
Staire Bhéal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh.
Ó 1993 tá
ana chuid de Stair na haite churtha i gcló agus
tá níos mó ann a líonfaidh
cupla eagrán eile. I m’bliana tá Scealta
Bheal Oidis again ós na scoileanna i mBeal
Átha’n Ghaorthaidh ó 1938.
Tá suil again níós mó daoibh a chur i
gcló amach anseo.
Is é 2006
Comoradh Cheid Eirí Amach na Casca. Men from
Béal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh marched to Kealkill on
Easter Sunday 1916 to join
a Company Banty Volunteers to take part
in the Rising not knowing it had been postponed.
Should a re-enactment be organized?
2006 is
also the Centenary of the attempt to evict the
O’Mahony family at
Drom An Ailtig during the summer of 1906.
A description is included in our translation of
the first book written on the history of Béal
Átha’n Ghaorthaidh.
Ian MacKenzie Kennedy or
‘Scottie’ was a well known figure around
Béal
Átha’n Ghaorthaidh during the War Of
Independence. His story is retold here by
Stephen Coyle. Tá suil again go mbainfidh sibh
taitneamh as ár n-iarriachtaí.
