Tha Cathraiche Comataidh Gàidhlig Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd a’ cur meal an naidheachd air com-pàirtichean is luchd-buannachaidh na Gàidhealtachd a ghabh pàirt ann am farpaisean aig a’ Mhòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail ann am Peairt.
Chaidh faisg air 70 duais a bhuannachadh le farpaisich on Ghàidhealtachd agus sin a’ gabhail a-steach 27 ciad duais, 29 dàrna duais agus 13 treas duais.
Thuirt Cathraiche Comataidh na Gàidhlig, an Comhairliche Calum Rothach:
“Meal an naidheachd air na farpaisich uile a ghabh pàirt aig a’ Mhòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail agus air luchd-buannachaidh roinnean nan inbheach agus na cloinne.
“Tha an obair dhìcheallach aca air sàr thoraidhean a thoirt gu buil agus tha e na adhbhar moit dhomh an t-sàr-obair seo fhaicinn ann an coimhearsnachd na Gàidhlig.
“Bu mhath leam meal a naidheachd a chur gu sònraichte air Anna Catrìona NicDhòmhnaill a bhuannaich am Bonn Òir.
“Ged a chaidh Anna Catrìona a-steach dhan fharpais à Lunnainn, ’s ann às an Eilean Sgitheanach a tha i. Fhuair i Foghlam tron Ghàidhlig ann an Sgoil Stafainn agus bha i an uair sin ann an Àrd-Sgoil Phort Rìgh.
“Tha i a-nis a’ leantainn air adhart le a cuid foghlaim ann an Lunnainn.”
Thuirt Cathraiche Comataidh Foghlaim na Comhairle, an Comhairliche Iain MacFhionnlaigh:
“Bu toil leam taing a thoirt do na pàrantan is na tidsearan uile a thug taic do sgoiltean na Gàidhealtachd a ghabh pàirt agus tha mi a’ cur meal an naidheachd air na sgoiltean a bhuannaich agus a bha a’ riochdachadh na Gàidhealtachd.”
