What happens when we completely lose touch with nature? What chaos could occur?

That's exactly the question put forward by Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh in this week's show. In her poem Conriocht she invokes a more primal version of Ireland to explore the territory of miscommunication and isolation all through the Irish language.

It's seachtain na gaeilge this week in Ireland and so the episode is intended to bring you some poetry in the native Irish Language

Cad a tharlaíonn nuair a chaillimid ár nasc leis an dúlra? Cén saghas anord a scaoiltear?

Sin díreach an ceist atá pléite sa dán Conriocht le Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh. Sa dán, agairt sí íomhá de Éireann i bfhad níos príomhúil chun na slíanna a tharlaíonn míchumarsáid a phlé.

Tá sé Seacthain na Gaeilge anseo in Éireann agus iarann an clár seo beagánín filíocht dulgais a sheol chugat.
