Tosnóidh mé le sin mar is leabhar deas greanmhar é, níl sé ró–dháiríre agus tá sé trí Béarla faoin Gaeilge, mar sin bheadh sé an oirúineach do thosaitheoirí.

Obair sa Bhaile: Réiteach don todhchaí?
In am an ghátair, tagaimid le chéile chun réiteach d’ár bhfadhbanna a aimsiú. Feictear seo leis an víreas corónach; tá vacsaín againn lú de bhliain amháin ón gcéad dhianghlasáil. Cé nach mbaineann mórán torthaí dearfacha leis an bpaindéimeach, is suntasach an rud é go bhfuil laghdú ar na sceitheadh carbóin san atmaisféar. Le tabhairt isteach […]
Aicne fásta: Cén fáth go dtagann goiríní orm fós i rith mo fichidí?
Le Aoife Ní Chrualaoich Is cosúil go bhfulaingíonn an formhór le haicne mar dhéagóirí agus gan aon cheist ná dabht níl an saol éasca ag daoine sna déaga. É sin ráite, ní raibh súil ar bith agam leis na deacrachtaí a bheadh agam le mo chraiceann mar mhac léinn i mo fichidí. Ní hamháin […]

Orla Leahy writes for Motley as part of a series on why those who are drug addicts should be treated as patients, not criminals. How can Ireland learn from our Mediterranean neighbours?
