Coláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath agus an
Ghaeilge
Oifigeach na Gaeilge agus Coiste na Gaeilge
Tá Coláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath tiomanta do chur chun cinn na Gaeilge i ngach
réimse de shaol na hOllscoile. Léirítear an tiomantas seo trí obair Choiste na Gaeilge, fochoiste
de Bhord na hOllscoile, agus trí fhostú Oifigeach Gaeilge lánaimseartha. Oibríonn an tOifigeach
Gaeilge i gcomhar leis an gCumann Gaelach, le hAontas na Mac Léinn agus le Roinn na Gaeilge
agus na dTeangacha Ceilteacha chun a cuid aidhmeanna a chur i gcrích.
Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla agus na Scéimeanna Teanga
Leagann Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla 2003 agus 2021 (Leasú) dualgais ar leith ar an Ollscoil
lena n-áirítear dualgais maidir le comharthaíocht, stáiseanóireacht, foilseacháin áirithe, fógraí
taifeadta béil, earcaíocht, fógraíocht srl. Ina theannta sin, tá gealltanais tugtha ag an Ollscoil sna
Scéimeanna Teanga atá foilsithe go dtí seo go gcuirfear lena réimse seirbhísí dátheangacha trí
ghníomhaíochtaí éagsúla.
Scéimeanna Cónaithe
Tá dhá scéim cónaithe Gaeilge san Ollscoil ina gcuirtear cóiríocht ar fáil do mhic léinn. Tá
scéim amháin lonnaithe ar an gcampas agus an ceann eile (do mhic léinn na chéad bhliana agus
na dara bliana amháin) i Halla na Tríonóide, Dartraí, Baile Átha Cliath 6. Cuireann baill na
scéimeanna cónaithe an Ghaeilge chun cinn san Ollscoil trí fheachtais agus trí imeachtaí éagsúla
a reáchtáil i rith na bliana.
Ranganna Gaeilge
Cuireann Coláiste na Tríonóide ranganna Gaeilge saor in aisce ar fáil do bhaill foirne agus do
mhic léinn araon le linn na bliana acadúla. Fógraítear na ranganna seo ag tús na dtearmaí
acadúla. Tacaítear chomh maith le baill foirne agus le mic léinn tabhairt faoi scrúduithe TEG
(Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge).
Éigse na Tríonóide agus Imeachtaí Gaeilge
Buaicphointe na bliana is ea Éigse na Tríonóide, féile seachtaine ina gcuirtear ócáidí cultúrtha
agus sóisialta ar siúl do phobal na hOllscoile agus na cathrach lena n-áirítear imeachtaí ceoil
agus filíochta, díospóireachtaí, ceardlanna, agallaimh le haoichainteoirí, srl. Eagraítear feachtais
agus imeachtaí Gaelacha eile i gcaitheamh na bliana chomh maith.
Seomra na Gaeilge
Is spás ar leith i gcroílár an champais é Seomra na Gaeilge do phobal na hollscoile chun an
teanga a labhairt agus a chleachtadh ó lá go lá. Bíonn sé ar oscailt ó Luan go hAoine i rith na
dtéarmaí teagaisc. Reáchtáiltear cruinnithe agus imeachtaí trí Ghaeilge nó go dátheangach ann.
