Flaitheas - Leabhar mhí Dheireadh Fómhair 2024 | October's Book of the Month 2024

[English version below] Seo scéal a thugann radharc dúinn ar Cholm Cille an duine, duine a raibh a chuid laigí féin aige agus a raibh constaicí go leor le sárú aige. Tumtar sinn i saol éiginnte an séú haois, tráth a raibh athruithe móra ag teacht ar shaol na ndaoine; tráth a raibh ríthe uaillmhianacha in adharca a chéile; tráth a raibh seansaol na págántachta ag géilleadh don Chríostaíocht. An Naomh a Dhuiniú seachas an Duine a Naomhú Insíonn Flaitheas scéal an duine atá ag iarraidh ciall a bhaint as an saol corrach, scéal an duine ag streachailt leis an gcinniúint, scéal an duine a dhéanann botúin ach atá ar a dhícheall an rud ceart a dhéanamh dó féin agus do na daoine thart air. Scéal gach duine againn.

A glimpse of Colmcille the person Flaitheas is a story that gives us a glimpse of the human Colmcille, a person who had his own weaknesses and had many obstacles to overcome. The story of each one of us Flaitheas tells the story of a person who is trying to make sense of changes in his life, the story of a person struggling with fate, the story of a person who makes mistakes but tries his best to do the right thing for himself and for the people around him. The story of each of us. Presenter: Seán Ó Catháin Guests: Gráinne Ní Ghilín and Dubhán Ó Longáin
