Eileen Collins

Ar son Jim Collins agus an teaghlach uilig, ba mhaith liom mo bhu�ochas a chur in i�l do gach duine a d�eagraigh an l� seo.

Bean iontach cr�ga a bh� in Eileen. N� raibh eagla ar bith uirthi troid ar son cearta sibhialta. Nuair a th�inig Arm na Breataine go Doire ag t�s na dtriobl�id� chun leatrom a imirt ar na daoine, n� raibh aon eagla uirthi cur ina n-�adan. Agus bh� s� i gc�na� l�ns�sta cuidi� le daoine in am an gh�. Is ioma� uair a thug s� tarrth�il ar dhaoine agus iad ag iarraidh a gcearta sibhialta agus n�isi�nta a bhaint amach sa chathair seo.

Agus n� raibh s� riamh s�sta dearmad a dh�anamh de na daoine a cuireadh i bpr�os�n. Is ioma� uair a thug s� cuairt ar phr�os�naigh nach raibh m�r�n cairde eile acu. Is ioma� punt a bhailigh s� thart ar na doirse. Nuair a bh� na pr�os�naigh ag iarraidh a gcearta agus iad ar stailc ocrais, n�or chaill s� riamh an seans chun cuidi� leo. Agus is ioma� litir a scr�obh s� chun a gcro� a th�g�il. Agus choinnigh s� ag scr�obh litreacha chucu go dt� tamall gairid sula bhfuair s� b�s.

Bh� a cro� i gc�na� sa chult�r ghaelach agus rinne s� iarracht Gaeilge a fhoghlaim ag na ranganna sa Ghael�ras. Chuir s� beirt mhac d� cuid chun na bunscoile agus chuaigh a l�n de chlanna a gclainne ar Bhunscoil �adan Mh�ir.

Ar nd�igh, laoch m�r a bh� ina hathair f�in, Patrick Sheils. Ach ab � a hathair, is cinnte nach mbeadh m�r�n de spiorad na saoirse sa chathair seo inniu. Bh� s� i gc�na� iontach br�d�il as agus choinnigh s� a chuimhne beo go dt� an l� at� inniu ann.

Saol simpl� a chaith s� gan aird a tharraing uirthi f�in. Nuair a chuaigh s� go Loch Deirg am ar bith, n� dhearna s� sc�al m�r de. Ach nuair a bh� daoine faoi leatrom, is cuma c� h�it ar domhan, bh� s� i gc�na� l�ns�sta labhairt amach ar a son.

Bh� d�il mh�r ag Eileen sa ghreann agus n� raibh s� riamh faiteach ach bh� s� i gc�na� m�inte modh�il. N� dhearna s� aon sc�al m�r de na ruda� a rinne s� ar son na t�re. Bh� s� s�sta gan a hainm bheith i mb�al na ndaoine agus cuidi� leis an t� a raibh cuidi� de dh�th air.

Agus d� mbeadh s� anseo inniu, is cinnte go mbeadh gach duine ag g�ire mar n�or mhaith l�i br�n ar bith bheith luaite lena hainm.
