Oíche tSin Seáin agus na Tinte Chnámha

Is amárach Oíche tSin Seáin, nó Oíche Fhéile Eoin. Tar éis Oíche Nollag agus Oíche Shamhna, is í seo an oíche is mó a ndéantar ceiliúradh uirthi ag baile in Inis Oírr agus go deimhin ar thrí Oileáin Árann. Bailítear rud ar bith gur féidir a dhó agus déantar carnán mór dhe.

Is iad na leaids óga sna déaga is mó a bhailíonns an t-ábhar le cuir sa tine chnámh, agus is maith a cuimhin liom fhéin dhuil thart leis an asal agus an carr a líonadh le adhmad agus boscaí cardboard. Chaithfeá ar a laghad tyre amháin a chaith sa tine, rud nár mhaith liom a dhéanamh anois, ach ní raibh muid a’ smaoineamh ar athrú aeráide ná tada mar sin an t-am sin faraor.

Ach m’anam go mbíodh spraoi againn nuair a lastaí an tine ag thart ar a haon déag a chlog san oíche! Thagadh muintir an bhaile a’ breathnú uirthi agus bhíodh neart cainte agus seanchas acu. Mholfainn dhaoibh fhéin geábh a thabhairt ar Inis Oírr agus an tine chnámh a fheiceáil san oíche amárach ann.
