Description
-
An chloch aitheantais os comhair Áras Mháirtín Uí Chadhain, An Cheathrú Rua, a cuireadh ansin i 1983 nuair a ainmníodh an chéad Ionad Ollscoile Gaeltachta seo , a bunaíodh i lár na seachtóidí, ag an Ollscoil in ómós Mháirtín Uí Chadhain (1906-70), duine de mhórscríbhneoirí na Gaeilge, arbh as An Cnocán Glas, An Spidéal, dó . Ba í Gairmscoil na Ceathrún Rua a bhí sa bhfoirgneamh seo sula bhfuair an Ollscoil seilbh air chun na críche seo.
Ba é Máirtín Bán Breathnach as Leitir Mór na Coille, agus a raibh coiréal aige ar Bhóthar Ard Loch an Iolra , a thug an chloch éibhir bhreá seo saor in aisce don Ollscoil, agus ba é Jesus Modia a rinne an greanadh uirthi.
(The identification stone in front of Áras Mháirtín Uí Chadhain, An Cheathrú Rua, placed there in 1983 when the University's first Ionad Ollscoile Gaeltachta was named in honour of Máirtín Ó Cadhain (1906-70), one of the great Irish-language writers, a native of An Cnocán Glas, An Spidéal. This building was occupied by the Vocational School, Gairmscoil na Ceathrún Rua, before the University acquired it for this purpose.
This fine granite stone was gifted to the University by Máirtín Bán Breathnach from Leitir Mór na Coille, who had a quarry on Bóthar Ard Loch an Iolra. The engraving was done by Jesus Modia.)
