Provost's Welcome 2013-2014 A chairde, We are extremely proud here in Trinity College of our long tradition of service to the Irish language. Notable contributors to the language with Trinity links have included William Bedell, who was responsible for the first translation of the old Testament into Irish, Douglas Hyde, founder of the Gaelic League and Máirtín Ó Cadhain who was Professor in the School of Irish. The promotion of the Irish language is an important part of College life, and it was my great pleasure as Provost to officially open Seomra na Gaeilge, a dedicated conversation room, at the beginning of the previous academic year. This facility has been a tremendous success, and has been availed of by many students and staff throughout the course of the past year, as well as providing a venue for a number of cultural and social events in Irish. The vibrancy of the language in Trinity’s student life was recognised for the second year in a row in April 2013 with the conferring by the Minister of State for the Gaeltacht of the Glór na nGael award for best Irish language student society on our Cumann Gaelach. Our Irish language residency schemes have enjoyed continued success, and a very welcome development is their carving out of a cultural ambassadorship role with international students. The launch of bilingual customer services in the Library has added to the visibility of Irish in day- to-day college life, and the launch of our second Irish Language Scheme (2013 to 2016) in the near future will see the development of further bilingual services in the years ahead. The central role of the Irish Language Office ensures that support is available for many cultural, educational and social activities throughout the year, and I encourage you to avail of as many of these as you can in the year ahead. Le gach dea-ghuí. Patrick Prendergast, Provost

Fáilte an Phropaist 2013-2014 A chairde, Táimid thar a bheith bródúil anseo i gColáiste na Tríonóide as an traidisiún seanbhunaithe atá againn maidir leis an nGaeilge. Is iomaí Gaeilgeoir cáiliúil a raibh baint acu le Coláiste na Tríonóide. William Bedell, mar shampla, a rinne an chéad aistriúchán ar an Sean-Tiomna go Gaeilge, Dubhghlas de hÍde, bunaitheoir Chonradh na Gaeilge agus Máirtín Ó Cadhain, a bhí ina Ollamh i Scoil na Gaeilge. Cuid thábhachtach de shaol an Choláiste is ea an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn agus ba mhór an pléisiúr domsa Seomra na Gaeilge, seomra ar leith comhrá, a oscailt go hoifigiúil ag tús na bliana acadúla seo caite. Tá ag éirí go han-mhaith leis an áis seo, agus is iomaí mac léinn agus ball foirne atá ag baint leasa as le bliain anuas. Láthair den scoth é d’imeachtaí cultúir agus sóisialta i nGaeilge freisin. Tugadh aitheantas do bheocht na teanga i saol mhic léinn Choláiste na Tríonóide don dara bliain as a chéile nuair a bhronn an tAire Stáit don Ghaeltacht duais Ghlór na nGael ar an gCumann Gaelach, duais don chumann mac léinn Gaeilge is fearr. Éiríonn go maith i gcónaí leis na scéimeanna cónaithe Gaeilge agus gné nua a bhaineann leo anois ná gur ionann na rannpháirtithe is ambasadóirí cultúir i measc mhic léinn idirnáisiúnta. Seoladh seirbhísí dátheangacha do chustaiméirí sa Leabharlann agus dá bharr tá an teanga níos feiceálaí i saol laethúil an choláiste. Déanfar forbairt ar a thuilleadh seirbhísí dátheangacha sna blianta amach romhainn nuair a sheolfar an dara Scéim Teanga (2013 to 2016) go luath. Cinntíonn ról lárnach Oifig na Gaeilge go mbíonn tacaíocht ar fáil don iliomad gníomhaíochtaí sóisialta, oideachais agus cultúir a bhíonn ar siúl i rith na bliana, agus molaim duit leas a bhaint as oiread acu agus is féidir sa bhliain amach romhat. Le gach dea-ghuí. Patrick Prendergast, Propast
