Is cuimhin liom babhta agus mé i mo scorach óg in Inis Oírr go raibh orm an chéad léacht a léamh ag Aifreann an Domhnaigh / I remember once as a young strapping lad on Inis Oírr one Sunday that it was my turn to read the first reading at Sunday Mass.

By MacDara Ó Conaola

Bhí chuile rud thar cionn gur shroich mé an Séipéal / Everything was fine until I reached the Church. / Cheap mé go raibh mé ró-luath, mar ná raibh deoraí thart. Sagart ná duine cráifeach ar bith a bhí le feiceáil ach na préacháin ag breathnú orm agus mé ag scríobadh mo chloigeann / I thought I was too early as there was nobody around. There wasn’t a Priest or devout parishioner to be seen, only the crows and them looking at me scratching my head. / Is ag baile a chuimnigh mé gur athraigh an t-am / It wasn’t until I was back home that I remembered that the time had changed.
