A chairde Gael, a chairde na h\u00c9ireann agus a chairde uilig, is m\u00f3r an \u00f3n\u00f3ir dom seasamh faoi sc\u00e1th Leacht Cuimhneach\u00e1in na nGael anseo ag Battery City Park an tr\u00e1thn\u00f3na brea Domhnaigh seo. . A Chathaoirleach Fhond\u00faireacht Chuimhneach\u00e1n an Ghorta Mh\u00f3ir, James F. Gill, a Aire Carey agus a a\u00edonna uaisle, a chairde dile, is speisialta an l\u00fachair dom filleadh ar Nua-Eabhrac agus ar \u00e1it an ch\u00faraim bheannaithe do chuimhne an d\u00e1 mhilli\u00fan fear, bean agus p\u00e1iste \u00c9ireannacha a cailleadh tr\u00ed ocras n\u00f3 tr\u00ed eisimirce \u00e9igeantach i rith dhrochbhlianta an Ghorta Mh\u00f3ir.<\/p>\n

Bh\u00ed s\u00e9 de phribhl\u00e9id agam a bheith i l\u00e1thair anseo nuair a tiomna\u00edodh an leacht cuimhneach\u00e1in in I\u00fail 2002 agus ba l\u00e9ir ansin go mbeadh gr\u00e1 m\u00f3r do agus go dtabharfar cuairt go minic ar an ph\u00edosa bheag seo de stair agus t\u00edrdhreach Mhaigh Eo agus go raibh c\u00fais mhaith le d\u00edograis na daoine a chruthaigh \u00e9, d\u00edograis ar chuimneach\u00e1n a dh\u00e9anamh ar fhulaingt na staire agus d\u00edograis ar aird a tharraingt orthu si\u00fad at\u00e1 ag fulaingt an ocrais sa l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu ann.<\/p>\n

Bheadh cumha ar go leor d\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a th\u00e1inig anseo \u00f3 \u00c9irinn na 19\u00fa haoise, a bh\u00ed cr\u00e1ite ag an ghorta, i ndiaidh a dt\u00edre d\u00fachais, in ainneoin an cruatan a d\u2019fhulaing siad. Dh\u00e9anfadh go leor acu rud ar bith le h\u00e1itreabh \u00c9ireannach a fheice\u00e1il anseo in Manhattan lena chlocha agus a phlanda\u00ed, a theach\u00edn beag simpl\u00ed. T\u00e1 an t-\u00e1dh linn in \u00c9irinn nach ndearna siadsan, n\u00e1 a sliochtaigh, dearmad cho\u00edche ar a dt\u00edr d\u00fachais, n\u00e1r chaill siad a ngr\u00e1 d\u00e1 cult\u00far agus d\u00e1 hoidhreacht agus gur fhan siad l\u00e9i le linn chora casta na staire. Leis na dollair a chuir siad abhaile \u00f3na hioncaim fh\u00edorbheaga, chuidigh siad maidhm an bhochtanais a chosc agus oideachas a thabhairt don ch\u00e9ad ghl\u00fain eile. Chuidigh a sp\u00e9is ghn\u00edomhach sa troid ar son na saoirse, agus n\u00edos d\u00e9ana\u00ed san iarracht chun s\u00edoch\u00e1n a bhaint amach i dTuaisceart \u00c9ireann. T\u00e1 muid br\u00f3d\u00fail as \u00e1r dteaghlach domhanda \u00c9ireannach agus a dhl\u00fathph\u00e1irt\u00edocht ar fud na m\u00edlte agus s\u00edos fr\u00edd an iliomad gl\u00faine.<\/p>\n

Th\u00e1inig athr\u00fa suntasach ar stair na h\u00c9ireann agus stair Mheirice\u00e1 mar gheall ar an Ghorta Mh\u00f3r. Rinne na h\u00fadar\u00e1is neamhiontas agus dearmad go rialta ar na milli\u00fain a bh\u00ed ag fulaingt. Fuair an t-iliomad b\u00e1s agus iad ag creidbhe\u00e1il n\u00e1rbh fhi\u00fa iad sa tsaol seo. Is bealach \u00e9 an leacht cuimhneach\u00e1in seo tr\u00ednar f\u00e9idir len\u00e1r ngl\u00fain f\u00e9in a r\u00e1 leo gur fi\u00fa a nguthanna agus a sc\u00e9alta f\u00f3s sa 21\u00fa aois, agus go bhfuil siad ag tabhairt \u00e1r nd\u00fashl\u00e1in d\u00fainn cuimnigh ar agus freagracht a ghlacadh as c\u00farsa\u00ed an lae inniu, in \u00e1it cuimhneach\u00e1n a dh\u00e9anamh ar an am at\u00e1 caite amh\u00e1in. Le gach duine at\u00e1 ag fulaingt leis an ocras i ndomhan an lae inniu, d\u00e9antar masla agus scannal ar chuimhne \u00e1r sinsir agus achan uair a dh\u00e9anann muid iarracht fulaingt an lae inniu a mhaol\u00fa, t\u00e1 an cuimhneach\u00e1n seo \u00e1 \u00fas\u00e1id againn chun athr\u00fa agus d\u00f3chas a spreagadh.<\/p>\n

In PS 197 in Brooklyn, chuaigh taispe\u00e1ntas d\u00edocasach na scol\u00e1iri i bhfeidhm go m\u00f3r orm, n\u00ed hamh\u00e1in mar gheall ar an fh\u00eds shimpl\u00ed shoil\u00e9ir a l\u00e9irigh siad ar thrag\u00f3id an ghorta ach fosta, rud a bh\u00ed chomh iontach c\u00e9anna, an tuiscint at\u00e1 acu ar an fhreagracht a chaithfidh gach duine againn a ghlacadh orainn f\u00e9in as d\u00fashl\u00e1in dhomhanda an bhochtanais, an ocrais agus an athraithe aer\u00e1ide.<\/p>\n

T\u00e1 an Ard-Chonsalacht ag \u00f3st\u00e1il taispe\u00e1ntas Quinnipiac An Gorta M\u00f3r, lena bhfuiltear ag iarraidh ciall a dh\u00e9anamh d\u2019aibh\u00e9is an \u00e9ad\u00f3chais a bhf\u00e9adfadh teacht an\u00edos \u00f3 dhuibheag\u00e1n na trag\u00f3ide seo. Is fi\u00fa \u00e9 a fheice\u00e1il, ar an bhealach ch\u00e9anna ar fi\u00fa machnamh a dh\u00e9anamh ar an mhaitheas iontach a bhf\u00e9adfadh teacht \u00f3na leith\u00e9id de thrag\u00f3id. Bhailigh Pobal Gi\u00fadach na cathrach seo m\u00e9ideanna suntasacha airgid in 1847 ar mhaithe le f\u00f3irithint ar ghorta in \u00c9irinn. N\u00ed raibh siad ag cuidi\u00fa le cairde n\u00f3 le gaolta ach le strains\u00e9ir\u00ed a mhothaigh siad go raibh daonnacht choiteann acu leo. Ba mh\u00f3r an pl\u00e9isi\u00far dom cuimhnigh ar agus bu\u00edochas a ghabh\u00e1il as an fhlaithi\u00falacht sin an tseachtain seo ag imeacht cuimhneach\u00e1in ag sionag\u00f3g Shearith Israel. Agus c\u00fapla bomaite \u00f3 shin ag oifig\u00ed an Mercy Corps, chuala m\u00e9 buachaill\u00ed agus cail\u00edn\u00ed P.S. 158 ag canadh amhr\u00e1in uaibhrigh, rud a l\u00e9irigh an tuiscint at\u00e1 acu ar caid\u00e9 at\u00e1 guthanna na ndaoine ocracha ag r\u00e1 linn.<\/p>\n

Cinnt\u00edtear leis an leacht cuimhneach\u00e1in seo go bhfuil na guthanna sin le cloiste\u00e1il fi\u00fa i gcro\u00edlar na cathrach m\u00f3ire gn\u00f3tha\u00ed seo. D\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a cailleadh sa ghorta in \u00c9irinn tugann s\u00e9 misean beo sa domhan an lae inniu agus gabhaim bu\u00edochas le Nua-Eabhrac as cuimhneach\u00e1n a dh\u00e9anamh ar a bpian, as \u00f3m\u00f3s gr\u00e1st\u00fail a thabhairt d\u00f3ibh agus as \u00e9ileamh orainn taispe\u00e1int gurbh fhi\u00fa a saol agus a mb\u00e1s tr\u00ed r\u00e9idh a fh\u00e1il leis an fhulaingt uaf\u00e1sach inseachanta seo, ar fud an domhain.<\/p>\n

Go raibh m\u00edle maith agaibh ar fad is go n-\u00e9ir\u00ed go geal libh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
