Niamh Hardiman, who has been blogging for us and off, has very kindly agreed to come on board as a permanent member of CT. She is a senior lecturer at University College Dublin (where both Maria and I did our degrees), working on a variety of issues in European and Irish political economy. We’re really happy to have her join us.

Great addition. Tá fáilte romhat.

Welcome, Niamh! Great to have you with us.

I look forward to reading your posts.
Obviously I am perfectly aware of how Niamh is pronounced. Still, maybe it would help others (not me of course) if you or another of the celts around here spell it out?

Welcome!

Welcome! I learned a lot from the guest posts, and I’m looking forward to more.

Go raibh mÃle maith agaibh go léir as ucht an fáilte gheal a chuireann sibh romham. Yes, the sweet and melodious native tongue comes in handy now and again. Opening parliament. Confounding foreigners. That sort of thing. Like the sneaky way we spell our names. For tomslee@4, it’s pronounces roughly ‘Neev’, or ‘Ne-ev’, or ‘Niw’ if you’re Polish.

Fáilte romhat go CT, Niamh. Déan tú féin sa bhaile – táim cinnte go bhfainimid go léir neart spraoi & suim as an mblog seo le chéile !

Janey Mac Maria, an conspóid atá in intinn agat, ag comhrá faoi rún os comhair na stráinséir�! Beidh siad go léir ag iarradh fáil amach céard tá ar siúil anseo. Gluaiseacht nua aithbheochana na teangan ag silleadh amach ón blog!

Is breá an rud é an méid thuas a léamh anois i lár Seachtain na Gaeilge! Agus dÃreach tar éis Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan, bean eile a bheith mar cuid den fhoireann seo.
Tuairimà ag éinne ar méid/easpa mná sa gComh-Aireacht nua agus cás Joan Burton? Dár le Olivia Mitchell, “it’s a Dáil bar cabinet – the boys have divided up the major portfolios and left the girls with the housekeeping and nanny jobs” (a paraphrase as I can’t locate the exact quote).

Corrections, it was of course Olivia O’Leary which explains why I couldn’t find it.
Maria 03.10.11 at 1:19 pm
Point maith, Niamh, point maith…
Eimear – ni raibh fhios agam gur Seachtain na Gaeilge é. An mhaith ar fad – táim tar éis eiri an ‘rusty’ ar fad tar éis dó-dhéag bhlianta a chaith thar lear. An chéad rud a cheap mé nuair a tháinig Niamh ná, ‘lán sásta le haghaidh bean Eireannach eile anseo linn ag CT’!
mise 03.10.11 at 10:53 pm
By the way – an blog eireannach ar fad ata againn anseo anois? Thar a bheith ait!!

Tá an-athas orm an corn seo a glachadh

Samhlaítear dom go Adhmad Cam atá ann, ar an snáth seo ar a laghad.

Those are fighting words where I come from.
Maria 03.11.11 at 10:39 am
Always the bloody Welsh…
