Gura maith agat as sin.
Aon sheans go mbeadh an taighde seo ar fáil ar an idirlíon? bheadh suim nach beag agam sa gcanúint léirithe ag pointe 60 ar an léarscáil, sé sin Cill Mhic Taidhg in iarthar Chontae Shligigh, nó pointe 59 fiú amháin.

"Ta an ait seo suite taobh istig den gcontae ciall cainnigh no Loch Gairmain. An bhfuil a fios ag einne cen duthaig a bhi i gceist in aon chor?"

Níl eolas agam ar an ainm atá ar an gceantar, ach bhí breac-Ghaeltacht ann sa gceantar áirithe sin i gCill Ceannaigh go dtí na 40í nó 50í sílim

Tá ’n chéad imleabhar (leis na mapannaí) agam, mar sin tá liosta na n-áiteach go léir agam. Is é ’n pointe 6 agus 6a atá suite i gCúige Laighean.

6: townland: Tulach Uí Bhroin (one mile north of Kilkenny town)
6a: Gleann Mór (South Kilkenny)

Fá dtaobh do Ghaeilg Cho. Chille Chainnigh, rinn Pr R.A. Breatnach tráchtas PhD i 1939. Níor foilseadh é, ach is féidir go dtig libh amharc air má théid sibh go Coláiste na hOllscoile, BÁC.

Bhuel an scéal seo i gceist agat

From Daithi Mac An Bhreathnaigh, Sligeach.

I recently (Dec 2004) travelled out to Aclare from my home town of Sligo to investigate
the Breac-Ghaeltacht of yesteryear and in conversation with retired Aclare head of school
Phylis Tuohy and her husband Daniel it was brought to my attention by them that Sligo's
last native speakers of the native dialect of Connaught which was spoken there for
thousands of years were still alive until as recently as 1999. Unbelievable.

The Deasy brothers of Culdaly, Kilmacthigue, in an extremely isolated part of the Ox
Mountains were alive until 1999 when they died within three days of each other. Both
men were bachelors and have no survivors. They were born in 1903 and 1906 respectively,
at a time when the townland of Culdaly had 32 inhabited households of which 30 were
Irish-speaking. Most of these speakers were elderly but it seems that the Deasys were
an exception insofar as the children of this household were for some reason being brought
up with Irish as their first language.

According to locals the isolated terrain in what was once an almost inaccessable part of
the Ox Mountains, the fact that both Deasy parents were relatively old when their children
were born, and the isolated lifestyle lived by the bachelor brothers all contributed
to the survival of Irish as their native tongue through their lives. It's a truly
incredible story as most academic sources believed that Sligo's last native speakers
came off Inishmurray island in 1948 and were dead by 1980.

Unfortunately it seems no one knew about this remarkable fact until Daniel Tuohy
met them during his time as a community alert officer and whilst Donal made no recording
of them he did at least locate them and converse with them.
