"Respect and dignity" goes to the remains of Ennis Bo Finne.

"Meas agus dínit" ag dul do thaisí Inis Bó Finne.

People in Inisboffin have welcomed the news that Trinity College is to return to the island the remains of people who were taken from a cemetery, without consent, in the 19th Century.

Tá fáilte curtha ag daoine in Inis Bó Finne roimh an scéala go bhfuil Coláiste na Tríonóide le taisí daoine a tógadh as reilig, gan toiliú, sa 19ú Céad a tabhairt ar ais go dtí an t-oileán.

But the locals want to ensure that the remains are treated with respect and dignity.

Ach tá muintir na háite ag iarraidh a chinntiú go gcaithfear leis na taisí, le meas agus dínit.

In 1890 the heads were stolen from the cemetery of St. Colmáin Monastery.

Sa mbliain 1890 a goideadh na cloigne as reilig Mhainistir Naomh Colmáin.

Two from Trinity College who undertook the raid - Professor Alfred Haddon and researcher Andrew Dixon - from the University's Department of Anatomy.

Beirt as Coláiste na Tríonóide a thug faoin gcreachadh - an tOllamh Alfred Haddon agus an taighdeoir Andrew Dixon - ó Roinn Anatamaíochta na hOllscoile.

In a letter written by Professor Haddon he has admitted that he smuggled the heads off the island - 13 of them - to be deposited in the College.

I litir a scríobh an tOll Haddon tá sé admhaithe aige gur smuggláil sé na cloigne den oileán - 13 acu - le cur i dtaisce sa gColáiste.

There was plenty of time to take bodies for the sake of so-called "scientific study" - to take measurements and study shells - as shown in this photograph taken on Ennisboffine in 1893.

Bhí fairsing ag an am coirp a thógáil ar mhaithe adúradh "leis an staidéar eolaíoch" - le ghabhail ag tomhais agus ag staidéar blaoscanna – mar a léirítear sa ngrianghraif seo a tarraingníodh ar Inis Bó Finne in 1893.

Now the head of the University, Provost Linda Doyle has apologized to the people of the island.

Anois tá ceann feádhain na hOllscoile, an Probhast Linda Doyle théis leithscéal a ghabháil le muíntir an oileáin.

Trinity College says they are grateful to the island community for "their lobbying and participation" and that they will "cooperate with the community to return the remains respectfully, respectfully."

Deir Coláiste na Tríonóide go bhfuil siad buíoch do phobal an oileáin as "a gcuid stocaireachta agus rannpháirtíochta" agus go mbeidh siad "ag comhoíbriú leis an bpobal leis na taisí a chur siar abhaile go measúil, ómósach."

But the remains of nearly 500 people are still kept at the University and a review process about those bodies is still underway by the Trinity Heritage Working Group.

Ach tá taisí beagnach 500 duine fós coinnithe san Ollscoil agus próiséas athbhreithníthe faoi na coirp sin fós idir lámha ag Grúpa-Oibre Oídhreachta na Tríonóide.

Today's topic is a story, so researchers say, but the work is not finished and shells are still kept that were taken from Arran and Glenn in South Kerry.

Deáscéala é ábhar an lae inniu mar sin a deir lucht taighde ach níl an obair críochnaithe agus blaoscanna fós coinnithe a tógadh as Árainn agus as an nGleann i gCiarraí Theas.

Maolra M Mac Donnchadha will have more about that story on Nuacht TG4 at 1900.

Beidh tuilleadh faoin scéal sin ag Maolra M Mac Donnchadha ar Nuacht TG4 ag 1900.

Welcome to the community of Ennisbo Finne before the decision of Col.
