Agallamh eisiach le Pádraig Mac Giolla Bhríde, peileadóir Aontroma le cúig bliana déag anuas, ina labhraíonn sé ar na cúiseanna a ghlac sé, go tobann, céim siar as an pheil idirchontae ar na mallaibh. Labhraíonn Paddy fosta, san agallamh iontach pearsanta agus daonna seo, ar an ghrá dá deirfiúr Marie, ar thug féinmharú a bás trí bliana ó shin. Agus déanann sé cur síos ar an lúcháir atá air a bheith ina Dhaidí anois den chéad uair. Chomh maith leis sin, tá réamhbhlaiseadh againn ar dhá mhionsraith úra ar líne, á sheoladh ag BBC Gaeilge le linn Seachtain na Gaeilge. Cluineann muid faoin seanfhocal is fearr le Jack Mac Íomhair i Cumhacht na bhFocal, agus i mír ghairid eile, fiosraíonn daoine óga an cheist: Arbh fhearr leat sárluas ná sárneart? An exclusive interview with Paddy McBride, Antrim stalwart for the past 15 years, in which he explains the reasons he has suddenly stepped away from intercounty football this season. In a very personal and human interview, he also remembers his much-loved sister Marie, who died by suicide three years ago. And having recently become a Dad, he describes the joy of welcoming his first child into the world. We also have a sneak preview of two new short online series being launched by BBC Gaeilge during Seachtain na Gaeilge. In an episode of the series Cumhacht na bhFocal, we hear about Jack Mac Íomhair's favourite proverb, and in another short item, young people consider the question: Would you rather have super-speed or super-strength?
