Madra rua,
sleamhnaíonn éadrom ar an gcré,
ciorcal na beatha ag rothlú.
Duine, le fearg nach bhfuil críochnaithe,
agus an tsúil is dorcha — tairgeann sé fual.
Cén fáth an fhéarg sin ar an neamhchiontach?
Is scáthbhannaí iad an slua — lámha i gcré,
ag slathadh an bheithíoch, ag scoitheadh an fháinne.
Sé an bulaíocht is oscailte —
gníomh corraithe, pobal ag gáire.
Cé nuair a chuirtear ceist faoin gcroí?
Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Sinn Féin —
an bhfuil spás do trócaire sna ceantair sin?
Más rud é go gcloiseann an tuath an t-uaigneas,
cé a dhéanann guth na n-ainmhithe a chosaint?
Ní hé seo spórt; is é seo gníomh moráltachta a bhriseann.

The launch of the first-ever Irish dictionary has been hailed as a 'historic moment' for the language 🇮🇪

It marks the arrival of the first truly monolingual Irish dictionary, allowing anyone searching for the meaning of an Irish word to do so without turning to English first.

Until now, anyone wishing to look up a word in Irish had to rely on an Irish–English dictionary, meaning that a person seeking the meaning of a phrase as Gaeilge was first required to view it through the lens of English.
