Léachtaí Cholmcille XLVIII - An Moinsíneoir Pádraig Ó Fiannachta: Saol & Saothar
Is sa Díseart, Sráid an Doirín, An Daingean, Co. Chiarraí a bheidh imeachtaí uile Léachtaí Cholm Cille na bliana seo ar siúl. Tá an clár ar fáil anseo.
Toisc an bhaint stairiúil leanúnach a bhí ag Pádraig Ó Fiannachta (a cailleadh i mí Iúil na bliana seo caite) le Léachtaí Cholm Cille rinneadh an cinneadh léachtaí na bliana seo a thiomnú dó. Bhí Pádraig ina léachtóir anseo i Má Nuad ó 1958 go 1962, uair a ceapadh ina Ollamh le Sean- agus Nua-Ghaeilge é. Bhí sé ina Ollamh anseo ó 1962, mar sin, go dtí 1992. Chaith sé, ar an iomlán, breis agus 30 bliain ar fhoireann teagaisc Mhá Nuad agus neart mac léinn tagtha tríd an áit le linn na tréimhse sin. Cláraigh anseo.
This year’s Leachtaí Cholmcille lectures will take place in An Díseart on Green Street in Dingle, Co. Kerry. The programme is available here.
Because of the continuous historical connection which Pádraig Ó Fiannachta (who passed away in July of last year) had with Léachtaí Cholmcille, the decision was made to dedicate this year’s lecture series to him. Pádraig was a lecturer here in Maynooth from 1958 to 1962, when he was appointed Professor of Old and Modern Irish. He was a Professor here from 1962 to 1992. He spent, in total, over 30 years on Maynooth’s teaching staff with plenty of students coming through the place during that time. Register here.
