Oifigeach Na Gaeilge
Mary Kate Ní Artáin
Haigh a chairde! Mary Kate is ainm dom agus is mise Oifigeach na Gaeilge in AMLCT-TCDSU i mbliana! Chríochnaigh mé mo chéim, Gaeilge agus Ceol, i mbliana anseo i gColáiste na Tríonóide, agus táim ag tnúth go mór leis an Ghaeilge a spreagadh agus a chur chun cinn ar champas!
Mar Oifigeach na Gaeilge, déanaim cinnte go mbíonn an Ghaeilge sofheicthe agus go mbíonn deis cothrom aici a bheith úsáidte. Freisin, tá sé mar aidhm s’agam spraoi a bheith ann leis an Ghaeilge, agus insint diúltach na Gaeilge a aistriú go ceann níos dearfaí. An aidhm atá agam ná an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn do chách, is cuma do leibhéal. Creidim go bhfuil spás ag an Ghaeilge i ngach áit den choláiste, ón spóirt go dtí an seomra ranga. An sprioc atá agam ná éisteacht le bhur dtaithí leis an Ghaeilge agus aghaidh a thabhairt ar forbairt na teanga. Níl fath ann nach féidir an Ghaeilge a úsáid, agus an aidhm atá agam ná campas a fhorbairt go áit ina n-úsáidtear an Ghaeilge go bródúil. Coláiste gan teanga, coláiste gan anam! Is ceart í an Ghaeilge, ní caitheamh aimsire, agus táim ag súil le todhchaí dhearfach le haghaidh a húsáid! Má tá ceist ar bith agaibh, ná bíodh drogall oraibh dul i dteagmháil liom ar
Haigh a chairde! My name is Mary Kate and I am your TCDSU-AMLCT Oifigeach na Gaeilge for this year! I’ve just finished my studies in Irish and Music here at Trinity, and I am so looking forward to promoting and advocating for the Irish language.
As Oifigeach na Gaeilge, I ensure that the Irish language is visible and has equal opportunity to be used. I also like to have fun with the language, and help change the negative narrative of the Irish language to a more positive one. My aim is to make the language accessible for everyone, no matter what level of Irish you have. I believe that there is a space for the Irish language in every part of the University, from sport to the classroom. I am committed to listening to and representing the views of all students, whether you speak Irish every day or are just beginning to use it more. My aim is to help foster a college environment where Irish is used regularly and without judgment. My goal is to develop a campus where students feel encouraged and proud to use the language in whatever way they can. Irish is a right, not a hobby, and I look forward to working for a positive future for its use. If you have any queries or suggestions, feel free to email me at
