National Launch of ICA centenary celebrations January 20 2010
St Valentine’s Day
Do take a few minutes on this coming Saturday to read an article in the
‘Irish Examiner’ on cúrsai grá. You never know what you might learn, what
secrets might be revealed or what some well known ICA personages have been up to in their past !
‘An raibh tú ag an gCarraig nó an bhfaca tú féin mo ghrá?
Nó an bhfaca tú gile agus finne agus scéimh na mná?
Nó an bhfaca tú an t-úll ba chumhra a’s ba mhilse bláth?
Nó an bhfaca tú mo vailintín,
No a’ bhfuil sí dá cloi mar ‘táim?’
