Conas atá tú

Aodhán is ainm dom agus is mise an tOifigeach Gaeilge don dara uair de Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn i mbliana

Táim 23 bliana d’aois agus díreach críochnaithe staidear ar an Ghnó agus an Dlí san Ollscoil. Ón nóimead gur rugadh mé bhí mé i mo Hardcóir Gaeilgeoir agus bhí an Ghaeilge i gcónaí lárnach i mo shaol. Rugadh agus tógadh mé i mBaile Átha Cliath, ach chaith mé an chuid is mó do mo cuid samhraidh siar sa Ghaeltacht.

I mo dara bhliain san Ollscoil rith mé i gcomhar Oifigeach na Ghaeilge agus bhí mé lárnach le athbheochan an Cumann Ghaelach i gCOBÁC. Lean mé ar aghaidh chun bheith I mo Uachtarán ar Aontas na Mac Léinn i gCOBÁC, agus is cinnte gurb é an bhliain is fearr agus is deacra I mo shaol. Is aoibhinn liom  bheith i mbun céilí agus bím ag múineadh rince Gaelach i rith an tSamhraidh!!!

Príomh-spriocanna don bhliain

• Tacaíocht agus comhairle a chur ar fáil do chumainn Gaelaigh tríú leibhéal agus d’oifigigh Gaeilge sna coláistí tríú leibhéal

• Oifigeach na Gaeilge/ Cumann Gaelach nua a bhunú sna coláistí gan Oifigeach na Gaeilge /Cumann Gaelach go dtí seo

• Traenáil na gCumann Gaelach agus na nOifigeach Gaeilge a eagrú ar an 15/16 Deireadh

Fómhair

• Cabhair a thabhairt le Seachtain na Gaeilge cuimsitheach a phleanáil sna coláistí tríú leibhéal

• Cúpla mór-imeacht a eagrú idir na coláistí chun phobal láidir de mac léinn le gaeilge a cruthú. (imeacht Mac Léinn ag Oireachtas na Gaeilge, Árd-fheis Conradh na Gaielge srl)

• Obair a dhéanamh ar feachtais náisiúnta éagsúla don Ghaeilge

Is féidir teacht ar níos mó eolas ar conas an Gaeilge a cuireadh chun cinn i do choláiste féin anseo.

Ná bíodh imní ort teacht i dteagmháil liom má tá ceist ar bith agat faoin Ghaeilge nó conas gur féidir liom cabhrú leat

How’s it going,

Aodhán is my name and I’m the Irish Language Officer of USI for the second year running

I am a 23 year old Business and Law student and am just finished my final and fifth year of college. From the moment I was born I was a Hardcóir Gaeilgeoir and my one true love has always been the Irish Language. I was born and raised in Dublin but have spent most of my summers back west in the Ghaeltacht.

In my second year in college, I ran for Irish Language Officer and was a central part of the reignition of the Cumann Gaelach in UCD. I went on to become President of UCDSU and had the best, but toughest year of my life. I love a bitta the oul’ céilí dancing and teach it during the summer

Main objectives for year

• Provide support and advice for Irish language societies and Irish language officers in third level colleges

• Setup Irish language officers/ Irish societies in colleges that have none

• Ensure USI’s Irish Language Policy is complied with

• Organise training for Irish language societies/ officers on 15th and 16th of October

• Help organise Irish Language weeks in various third level colleges

• Organise a few national Irish language student events to help create a vibrant Irish language student community (e.g. Student event at Oireachtas na Gaeilge, Árd-Fheis

Conradh na Gaeilge etc.)

• Work on various national Irish language campaigns
