You can read an English version of this piece here) FÁILTE GO CATHAIR Kneecap nó an chathair ar a dtugtaí Béal Feirste trath. Is é sin an grúpa ceoil Kneecap, ar eagla na mí thuisceana. As seo go dtí Dé Domhnaigh, is é seo príomh chathair cultúrtha na nGael nó is anseo ar bhruacha an Lagain a bheidh Oireachtas na Samhna á reáchtáil. Dá ndéarfá ós ard ar chlár ráidió nó i dtacsaí i mBéal Feirste go raibh tú ag freastal ar an Oireachtas atá le reáchtáil i bpríomh chathair an Tuaiscirt, d’fhéadfá mí thuiscint eile a spreagadh agus féachaint aisteach nó dhó a mhealladh. Tá baol an mithuisceana ann, áfach, mar go bhfuil an t-ainm céanna ar mhórfhéile na Gaeilge agus atá ar ár gcóras parlaiminte, Tithe an Oireachtais,. Dóibh siúd ar suim leo an stair, tionóladh an chéad Oireachtas sa Seomra Cruinn i mBaile Átha Cliath ar 17 Bealtaine, 1897. Is ionann Oireachtas agus ‘mór thionól’ agus is é sin bunús an tOireachtas ina bhfuil an Dáil, an Seanad agus an tUachtarán suite le chéile. Is é seo an dara huair a bheidh an fhéile á reáchtáil sa chathair is mó san oir thuaisceart ach an chéad uair ó bhí Comhaontú Aoine an Chéasta ann i 1998 agus sna sála ar chinneadh cúpla seachtain ó shin polasaí dhá teangach a chur i bhfeidhm i gcathair a chuir fáilte fhuar roimh an teanga sna blianta atá caite. Advertisement Nuair a reáchtáladh an tOireachtas i mBéal Feirste go deireanach i 1997, bhí aer an dóchais sa an aer agus cainteanna ar bun chun teacht ar dheireadh chríochnúil le tús an phróisis síochána. Anois beagnach 30 bliain níos déanaí tá cuid mhór dul chun cinn déanta, tá fás tagtha ar líon na ndaltaí ag freastal ar iliomad bunscoileanna agus an t-aon mheánscoil lán Ghaeilge sa chathair, Coláiste Feirste Mura bhfuil Gaeltacht oifigiúil sa chathair, tá Ceathrú Gaeltachta ann in iarthar na cathrach, croí cheantar traidisiúnta na teanga agus suíomh cuid de láithreacha íocónacha na Gaeilge sa chathair, Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fíaich agus Cumann Chluain Aird, ach tá pobail Gaelach i ngach cuid den chathair anois, fiú in oirthear dílseach Bhéal Feirste mar atá obair ar bun chun scoil nua lán Ghaeilge, Scoil na Seolta, alonnú. Tá teannas fós san aer nó níl páirtithe aontachtacha sásta leis an bpolasaí nua dhá teangach atá glactha leis ag móramh chomhairleoirí na cathrach agus iad ag cur in éadan an Ghaeilge a bheith ar chomharthaíocht dhá theangach ina gceantair, mar a áiríonn siad iad. Ach glacfaidh an polataíocht céim ar chúl agus an cultúr céim chun tosaigh idir seo agus an Domhnach fad is a bheidh an fhéile seo, a mheallfaidh suas le 10,000 cuairteoir ar an gcathair agus a spreagfaidh caiteachas de thuairim is £6m/€8m as seo go dtí an Domhnach. Tosnaíonn an fhéile ar an gCéadaoin nuair a dhéanfaidh Aire na Gaeltachta, Dara Calleary, an oscailt oifigiúil agus beidh go leor duaiseanna le bronnadh aige an lá céanna nó tá na gradaim litheartha le bronnadh ar go leor scríbhneoirí, filí agus údair léannta san iarnóin agus, istoíche, beidh réalta na Gaeilge, aisteoirí, iriseoirí, craoltóirí agus láithreoirí amuigh ina n-éadaí manglama d’ócáid bronnta na nGradam Cumarsáide. Tá éagsúlacht mhór chomórtais d’aois ghrúpaí ó faoi 10 go dtí os cionn 35 – agus iad ag iomaíocht do bhoinn don scéalaíocht, lúibíní, agallaimh bheirte, amhránaíocht ar an sean nós, amhránaíocht saothair, amhránaíocht nach é an sean nós agus go leor eile. Tá comórtais do chóracha ag filleadh i mbliana agus ceaptar go mbeidh beagnach mile iomaitheoir páirteach sna comórtais éagsúla, an líon is airde le blianta fada.
