Iomain Bhiortail - Shinty goes Virtual

Tha Sgioba na Gàidhlig aig Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd fìor thoilichte sreath de bhidiothan, a tha a’ toirt seachad dùbhlan iomain tron ghlasadh-sluaigh, a bhrosnachadh. Chaidh na bhidiothan a dhèanamh le Iomain Cholm Chille, le taic bho Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd agus taic ionmhasail bho Bhòrd na Gàidhlig.

’S e pròiseact spòrs àraid a th’ ann an Iomain Cholm Chille a tha a’ brosnachadh cheangalan eadar luchd-labhairt Gàidhlig na h-Èireann agus na h-Alba tro iomain Èireannach agus Albannach.

Thuirt an Comhairliche Iain MacFhionnlaigh, Cathraiche Comataidh Foghlaim Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd: “Bheir na bhidiothan seachad goireas a bharrachd, air am bi fàilte mhòr, do sgoilearan ann am Foghlam tron Ghàidhlig agus do sgoilearan a tha ag ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig. Tha na bhidiothan a’ toirt seachad dùbhlain iomain gach seachdain agus faodaidh an teaghlach air fad com-pàirt a ghabhail annta cuideachd taobh a-muigh a’ chlas agus anns na coimhearsnachdan againn.”

Tha Iomain Cholm Chille air barantas fhaighinn gus trì no ceithir a bhidiothan a dhèanamh gach seachdain agus bidh iad rim faotainn do 22 sgoil tro sgìre Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd.

Thuirt Mgr Sean MacLeòid, Manaidsear Alba/Iomain Cholm Chille: “Tha sinn air ar dòigh glan a bhith ag ùrachadh agus ag ath-bheothachadh a’ chom-pàirteachais againn le Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd gus taic a thoirt do dh’iomain agus do chleachdadh na Gàidhlig am measg dhaoine òga, chan ann a-mhàin ann an sgìre na Gàidhealtachd ach air feadh na h-Alba.”

Thuirt Steven Kellow, Oifigear Maoineachaidh & Phròiseactan aig Bòrd na Gàidhlig: “Tha sinn fìor thoilichte gun urrainn dhuinn taic a thoirt do na bhidiothan seo tron iomairt #cleachdiaigantaigh againn. Tha iad a’ brosnachadh a bhith a’ cleachdadh na Gàidhlig san dachaigh agus mar sin bidh iad nam buannachd do luchd-labhairt òga na Gàidhlig, chan ann a-mhàin ann an sgìre na Gàidhealtachd, ach air feadh na dùthcha.”
