An Ghaeilge agus NIVAL
The Irish Language and NIVAL
Rónán Ó Raghallaigh, Library Assistant, highlights how NIVAL warmly welcomes the use of Irish at all levels, and provides some useful words and phrases to get you started.
An bhfuil Gaeilge agat? Nó an bhfuil cúpla focal agat agus ar mhaith leat cleachtadh a dhéanamh air? Fáiltíonn NIVAL roimh úsáid na Gaeilge, is cuma cén leibhéal atá agat. Is féidir linn cuairteanna taighde a éascú trí mheán na Gaeilge – iarr ar Rónán le do thoil agus tú ag déanamh d’áirithinte. Is breá linn freisin daoine a chloisteáil ag baint úsáide as a gcúpla focal ar aon bhealach agus is timpeallacht shábháilte agus spreagúil é NIVAL chuige sin, mar sin bíodh leisce ort aon fhocail a bhfuil aithne agat orthu a úsáid le linn do chuairte!
Tá go leor ábhar a bhaineann leis an nGaeilge i seilbh NIVAL atá ar fáil le haghaidh comhairliúcháin le linn coinne taighde.
Do you speak Irish? Or do you have a few words and would like to practice? NIVAL welcomes the use of the Irish language, no matter what level you are at. We can facilitate research visits through Irish – please ask for Rónán when booking your appointment. We also love to hear people using their ‘cúpla focal’ in any way and NIVAL is a safe and encouraging environment for it, so please feel free to use any words you know during your visit!
