AR FUD NA TÍRE CLÁR 1:

In a brand new weekly series for TG4 presenter Eibhlín Ní Choistealbha will bring viewers a wide variety of stories about inspirational communities and people from all across the island.

In the first episode Eibhlín visits two Connemara women who have dedicated their lives to rescuing abandoned dogs. Former Galway hurler Cathal Moore opens up about his difficult and arduous recovery after a life threatening illness and Dublin Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa finds his zen by combining his two passions Yoga and Gaeilge.

Sadly January is a month that sees a spike in abandoned dogs after Christmas but Eibhlín travelled to Camus in Connemara to meet Tara Nic Dhiarmada and Marina Fiddler two passionate and dedicated women determined to turn the tide. They set up MADRA dog rescue and adoption service with the aim of improving and saving the lives of hundreds of unwanted dogs in the Galway and Mayo area. Eibhlín spends a day at the shelter as she finds out about the vast amount of daily work involved in caring for dozens of dogs and meets some of the lucky dogs who have been happily rehomed by MADRA.

Former Galway hurler and pundit for GAA Beo Cathal Moore was always a fit, healthy, sporting man but in 2010 he was faced with a life threatening illness when he suffered a brain hemorrhage. Luckily for Cathal and his young family he survived but he faced a long and arduous road back to health. Cathal was a teacher in Athenry Presentation Secondary School but after the hemorrhage he even had to learn to write again. Cathal opens up about his illness and his determination to get better, to return to work and to pick up a hurley once again.

It's that time of year when our thoughts turn to a healthier body and mind. Ar Fud na Tíre meets Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa from Dublin who has achieved both by combing his two passions Yoga and Gaeilge. A yoga devotee he imparts his knowledge to his Yoga Óga classes in the heart of Dublin city through Gaeilge. Ar Fud na Tíre joins Ciarán for a class and meets some of the young men and women who attend.

Ar Fud na Tíre is produced by Nemeton TV.

AR FUD NA TÍRE CLÁR 1

I Sraith úrnua seachtainiúil do TG4, beidh an láithreoir Eibhlín Ní Choistealbha ag cíoradh scéalta suimiúla faoi phobail agus daoine inspioráideacha ó cheann ceann na tire.

Sa gcéad chlár, tugann Eibhlín cuairt ar bheirt bhan as Conamara a bhfuil a saol tugtha acu chun gadhair tréigthe a shábháil. Cuireann iar iomanaí na Gaillimhe, Cathal Moore síos go hionraic ar theacht chuige féin tar éis droch thinnis agus ceanglaíonn Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa an dá phaisean is mó aige, An Ghaeilge agus an Yoga, lena chéile.

Faraor, is mí í Eanáir ina dtagann méadú mór ar an lion madraí tréigthe tar éis na Nollag ach thaisteal Eibhlín go Camas i gConamara chun bualadh le Tara Nic Dhiarmada agus Marina Fiddler, beirt bhean chróga, atá diongbháilte an taoide a chasadh. Bhunaigh siad an eagraíocht MADRA, seirbhís sabhála agus uchtaithe leis an aidhm saoil na gcéadta madra tréigthe i gceantar na Gaillimhe agus Maigh Eo a fheabhsú. Caitheann Eibhlín lá ag an ionad dídin agus í ag foghlaim faoin méid mhór oibre laethiúil atá i gceist chun aire a thabhairt do lion mór madraí agus casann si le cuid dena madraí ádhmhara a bhfuil baile nua acu, a bhuíochas MADRA.


Ba fhear aclaí agus spóirtiúil iar- iománaí na Gaillimhe, Cathal Moore riamh ach i 2010, bhuail droch thinneas é a bhagair an bás nuair a bhuail fuiliú intinne é. Bhí sé d'ádh air teacht as an dtinneas ach bhí bóthar fada agus crua roimhe chun filleadh ar a sheanléim. Ba mhúinteoir i Meánscoil na Toirbhirte i mBaile Átha an Rí Cathal ach tar éis na hobráide b'éigean do foghlaim cén chaoi scríobh arís. Cuireann sé síos go fíor-ionraic ar a thinneas agus ar a dhiongbháilteacht bisiú go hiomlán, filleadh ar a chuid oibre agus le camán a luascadh aon uair amháin eile.

Is í an t-am sin den mbliain a bhímid ag smaoineamh ar chorp agus ar intinn níos sláintiúla. Buaileann Ar Fud na Tíre le Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa as Baile Átha Cliath a bhfuil an dá ghnéith bainte amach aige tríd an nGaeilge agus an Yoga. Roinneann sé a chuid eolais Yoga i ranganna i gcroílár na príomhcathrach trí mheán na Gaeilge. Déanann Ar Fud na Tíre freastal ar rang leis agus buailimid le cuid díobh sin atá
I láthair.
