ÁR gCUSPÓIRÍ / OUR GOALS



Ár gcuspóir ó 2019





Chun úsáid na Gaeilge a spreagadh agus a chothú ar fud an domhain.


Nóta tábhachtach ar ár gcuspóirí: Mura mbaineann gníomhaíocht go díreach lenár gcuspóirí agus a gcomhlíonadh, ní dhéanaimid í.



Our goal since 2019





To encourage and advance the use of Irish throughout the world.


Important note about our goals: If an activity does not relate directly to our goals and their fulfillment, we don't do it.



Ár gcuspóirí idir 2004 agus 2019





I 2004, tar éis taighde agus plé, d'aontaíomar cuspóirí ár gCumainn bunaithe ar ár mbun-chuspóirí mar ar shoiléirigh Mícheál Ó Lócháin iad sa tréimhse ó 1872 go dtí 1896, mar seo a leanas.

"Beidh na cuspóirí seo ag ár gCumann:

1) tacaíocht, neartú, cothú, cleachtadh, craobhscaoileadh, fairsingiú, múineadh agus athbheochan na Gaeilge mar theanga bheo i measc Chlann na nGael agus charad na nGael, i Meiriceá agus ar fud an domhain

2) athbheochan agus aththionscnamh na Gaeilge mar theanga labhartha bheo na hÉireann le Sacsbhéarla mar thionlacan.

NÓTA TÁBHACHTACHT AR ÁR gCUSPÓIRÍ: Mura mbaineann gníomhaíocht go díreach lenár gcuspóirí agus a gcomhlíonadh, ní dhéanaimid í."



Our goals between 2004 and 2019





In 2004, after research and discussion, we agreed the goals of our Society based directly on our original goals as clarified by Mícheál Ó Lócháin in the period from 1872 to 1896, as follows.

"Our Society shall have these goals:

1) the support, strengthening, promotion, practice, broadcast, expansion, teaching, and renaissance of the Irish language as a living language amongst the Children of the Gaeil and friends of the Gaeil, in America and throughout the world

2) the renaissance and re-establishment of the Irish language as the living spoken language of Ireland with English as an accompaniment.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OUR GOALS: If an activity does not relate directly to our goals and their fulfillment, we don't do it."



Forbairt ár gcuspóirí idir 1872 agus 1896





1872 – Scríobh Mícheál Ó Lócháin litreacha chuig an nuachtán Éireannach-Mheiriceánach The Irish World ag labhairt ar "riachtanas na Gaeilge a chaomhnú chun náisiúntacht na hÉireann a chaomhnú" agus ag moladh ranganna agus cumainn a chruthú chun é seo a chur i gcríoch. Sa bhliain chéanna sin, bhunaigh sé rang “Philo-Celtic” do dhaoine fásta i scoil i mBrúiclinn inar mhúin sé.


1881 – Bhunaigh Ó Lócháin AN GAODHAL (iris oifigúil do Chumann Carad Na Gaeilge Bhrúiclinn ag an am sin). Ba é "teanga na hÉireann a chosnughadh, a haithbheodhughadh agus a chleachdughadh a measg Clann na nGaodhal" a cuspóir”.


1882 – D’fhoilsigh Ó Lócháin ar chlúdach na hirise é seo: "An Gaodhal, Leabhar-aithris míosamhal tabhartha chum an Teanga Ghaedhilge a chosnadh agus a shaorthugadh, agus chum Féin-riaghla Cinidh na hÉireann."


1884 - Cuspóir do Chumann Carad Na Gaeilge Bhrúiclinn: "Beidh cuspóir ag an gCumann seo caomhnú agus fairsingiú na Gaeilge mar theanga labhartha.”


1886 - Scríobh Ó Lócháin, "Ní chun mionscrúdú a dhéanamh ar an teanga féin a bunaíodh 'An Gaodhal' ach chun an teanga a chraobhscaoileadh agus a chaomhnú."


1896 – Ag plé ghluaiseacht na Gaeilge i Meiriceá (gluaiseacht ar thosaigh Ó Lócháin i 1872), dúirt Ó Lócháin: ".... is é agus ba é cuspóir ghluaiseacht na Gaeilge athbheochan agus athbhunú na Gaeilge mar theanga labhartha na hÉireann leis an Sacsbhéarla mar thionlacan."



Development of our goals 1872 - 1896





1872 – Mícheál Ó Lócháin wrote letters to The Irish World, an Irish-American journal, about "the necessity of preserving the Irish language in order to preserve Irish nationality" and recommending that classes and societies be founded to accomplish this. In that same year he established a "Philo-Celtic" Irish language class for adults at the school in Brooklyn where he taught.


1881 – Ó Lócháin founded AN GAODHAL (official magazine of the Brooklyn Philo-Celtic Society at that time). Its goal was "the language of Ireland to protect, to revive, and to use amongst the Children of the Gaeil."



1882 – Ó Lócháin published this on the cover of the magazine: "The Gaodhal, a Monthly Journal devoted to the Preservation and Cultivation of the Irish Language and the Self-Rule of the Irish Race."



1884 - The goal for the Brooklyn Philo-Celtic Society: "This society shall have for its object the preservation and extension of the Irish as a spoken language."


1886 - Scríobh Ó Lócháin, " 'An Gaodhal' was not founded to do a minute study on the language itself but to broadcast and protect the language."



1896 - Discussing the Irish language movement in America (which he started in 1872), Ó Lócháin said: ".... the object of the Gaelic movement is - and has been - the revival and the reintroduction of the Gaelic as the spoken language of Ireland with English as an accompaniement."
