Bíodh misneach againn Caithfi dh muid misneach a bheith againn. In ainneoin na ndrochscéalta, in ainneoin na géarchéime airgeadais, in ainneoin an díomá atá orainn leis na húdaráis, caithfi dh muid a bheith dearfach. ‘Is féidir linn!’. Tá dul chun cinn mór dhá dhéanamh sa phobal. Is gearr go mbeidh Comharchumann agus Ionad Cúram Leanaí againn. Léiríonn torthaí Scéim Labhairt na Gaeilge go bhfuil an teanga beo beithíoch anseo go fóill. Tá ábhar nua dóchais againn don Pharóiste agus Sagart óg, fuinniúil tagtha chugainn chun cur leis an obair iontach a rinne an tAthair Pádraig Audley roimhe. An t-aon teorainn atá linn ar an gCeathrú Rua ná an teorainn a chuireann muid orainn féin. Cinnte, ní bheidh sé éasca forbairtí a chur chun cinn, ceal airgead. Ach, tá go leor ar siúl cheana féin, cuid mhór de go deonach. Tá cumas ionainn, scileanna againn agus daoine den scoth sa phobal. Bíodh misneach againn, mar níor chaill fear ná bean an mhisnigh riamh é!


Let us have courage


We have to have courage. Despite all the bad news, despite the fi nancial crisis, despite our disappointment with authority fi gures in many areas, we must remain positive. ‘We can do it!’. We are making great headways in this community. We will soon have a Cooperative and a Childcare facility. The Results of the ‘Language Speakers Scheme’ show that Irish is still alive and kicking here. As a parish we have renewed hope with the arrival of a new, energetic priest to help build on the great work of his predecessor, Fr. Pádraig Audley. The only limit we have is the one we allow ourselves to have. Of course it is not going to be easy, in an atmosphere of scarce fi nancial resources. But there is so much of great value already happening, much of it on a voluntary basis. We have the ability, the skills and great people in this community. Let’s have courage, because ‘the man or woman of courage, never fails’.
