World Penguin Day & leabhar úr ar an RIC in 1916

BBC Radio Ulster - Blas, World Penguin Day & leabhar úr ar an RIC in 1916search

Lá Domhanda na bPiongainí & 'The Life and Times of Constable Charles McGee'.

Léargas ar phiongainí na hÉireann do 'Lá Domhanda na bPiongainí' agus labhraíonn muid le húdar an leabhair, 'The Life and Times of Constable Charles McGee'.

Lá Domhanda na bPiongainí a bheas ann amárach agus chuaigh muid chun cainte le Máire Ní Shé, bainisteoir Oceanworld - Mara Beo sa Daingean i gCiarraí chun tuiscint níos fearr a fháil ar na piongainí gheintiúcha nó Gentoo Penguins atá in Éirinn.  Labhraíonn Méabha Ní Bhaoill, údar an leabhair 'The Life and Times of Constable Charles McGee', le Dáithí Ó Muirí fosta.  Is garneacht í leis an Chonstábla McGee - ábhar an leabhair - a bhí mar an chéad bhall den RIC a maraíodh in Éirí Amach 1916.  Ba Ghaeilgeoir ó dhúchas é as Inis Bó Finne i nDún na nGall. 

It's World Penguin Day tomorrow and we went to speak to Máire Ní Shé, the manager of Oceanworld - Mara Beo in Dingle, County Kerry, to get a better understanding of the gentoo penguins in Ireland.  Méabha Ní Bhaoill, author of the book 'The Life and Times of Constable Charles McGee', also speaks to Dáithí Ó Muirí. She is a great-niece of the book's subject, Constable Charles McGee, who was the first member of the RIC killed in the 1916 Rising. He was a native Irish speaker from Inisboffin Island in Donegal.
