Stephen Rea is famous here in Ireland not only for his work over 20 years ago with the Field Day company but also box office hits such as “The Crying Game” and “Michael Collins”. “Fluent Dysphasia” is a short film directed by Daniel O’Hara in which Rea plays the role of a single father who is more interested in a night out with the lads than communicating with his only daughter, but everything changes after a drunken binge when he wakes up the following morning, mysteriously speaking perfect Irish – which he never could before – and having forgotten how to speak English!

Scitsifréine
Is lipéad é an focal scitsefréine a bhfuil cuid mhór aineolais ag baint leis seachas i

Gradam na hAmharclainne, bainte ag Maria Ní Mhurchú don drama úr “Imithe le Gealaí”. Is é sa dráma seo ná cúntas pearsanta Uí Mhurchú ar an ghalar a d’fhulaing sí féin.

Road Bowls
Is cluiche ársa í bollaí bóthair a n-imrítear le bol iarrain agus atá á chleachtadh in Éirinn leis na cianta, deirtear go dtáinig an cluiche go hÉirinn thart ar an seachtú nó an t-ochtú haois déag agus gur glacadh isteach é ón Éigipt. Sa lá atá inniu ann imrítear bollaí go príomha i gceantracha tuaithe in Ard Mhacha agus i gCorcaigh go príomha maraon le pócaí beaga scaipthe thart ar an tír. D’athraigh rialacha an chluiche giota beag thar na blianta ach tá an chluiche a bheag nó a mhór bunaithe ar an tseanstíl a bhí in úsáid nuair a tháinig sé ar an tsaol. Fuair Céara agus Michelle an deis lá a chaitheamh i gcuideachta Chumann Bol Ard Mhacha agus triall a bhaint as!
