Following a decision taken at our AGM on 19th October, we will be holding an online EGM via Zoom at 8.30pm on Wednesday 23rd November.  The EGM is being called to discuss the following proposal:

It is proposed that the constitution of the society be suspended, with the effect that management of the society by a committee and the holding of an annual general meeting is also suspended.  Any activities will be managed through the Draig Werdd website and the Draig Werdd Facebook group, which will continue to operate.  A number of trustees will be elected to manage the society’s assets – these consist solely of an AIB current account. 

We’d like to encourage as many people as possible to join the meeting in order to contribute to the discussion on the future running of the society.  If you would like to take part, please send an email to info@welshsociety.ie for the joining instructions.

Yn dilyn penderfyniad a wnaed yn ein Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol ar 19eg Hydref, byddwn yn cynnal CCA ar-lein am 8.30pm ddydd Mercher 23 Tachwedd. Mae’r CCA yn cael ei alw i drafod y cynnig canlynol:

Cynigir bod cyfansoddiad y gymdeithas yn cael ei atal, gyda’r effaith bod rheolaeth y gymdeithas gan bwyllgor a chynnal cyfarfod cyffredinol blynyddol hefyd yn cael ei atal. Bydd unrhyw weithgareddau yn cael eu rheoli trwy wefan Draig Werdd a grŵp Facebook Draig Werdd, a fydd yn parhau i weithredu. Bydd nifer o ymddiriedolwyr yn cael eu hethol i reoli asedau’r gymdeithas – mae’r rhain yn cynnwys cyfrif AIB yn unig.

Rydym yn annog cymaint o bobl â phosibl i ymuno â’r cyfarfod er mwyn cyfrannu at y drafodaeth ar rediad y gymdeithas yn y dyfodol. Os hoffech gymryd rhan, anfonwch e-bost at info@welshsociety.ie i dderbyn y cyfarwyddiadau ymuno.

At our recent AGM it was agreed that we would hold an EGM as soon as possible to discuss a proposal to terminate the current committee-based management of the society.   Two weeks notice will be given publicly when a date for the meeting has been fixed.  The current committee agreed to remain in place pending the decision of the EGM.

Yn ein Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol diweddar cytunwyd y byddem yn cynnal CCA cyn gynted â phosibl i drafod cynnig i derfynu rheolaeth bresennol y gymdeithas ar sail pwyllgor. Rhoddir rhybudd o bythefnos yn gyhoeddus pan fydd dyddiad wedi’i bennu ar gyfer y cyfarfod. Cytunodd y pwyllgor presennol i aros yn ei le tra’n aros am benderfyniad y CCA.

After a break of 3 years due to the Covid pandemic, we will be holding our annual meeting online via Zoom at 8pm on Wednesday, 19th October. It’s now over 22 years since the society was set up, and we’d like to take the opportunity in this meeting to review the current structure of the society and decide whether it continues to meet the needs of Welsh people living in Ireland or whether a different model would function more effectively.

Please join us online on the 19th October to take part in the discussion and help determine the way forward for the Welsh community in Ireland. Send an email to info@welshsociety.ie for joining instructions.

Ar ôl toriad o 3 blynedd oherwydd y pandemig Covid, byddwn yn cynnal ein cyfarfod blynyddol ar-lein drwy Zoom am 8pm nos Fercher, 19eg Hydref. Mae dros 22 mlynedd wedi mynd heibio ers sefydlu’r gymdeithas, a hoffem fanteisio ar y cyfle yn y cyfarfod hwn i adolygu strwythur presennol y gymdeithas a phenderfynu a ydy’n parhau i ddiwallu anghenion y Cymry sy’n byw yn Iwerddon neu a byddai model gwahanol yn gweithio’n fwy effeithiol.

Ymunwch â ni ar-lein ar y 19eg o Hydref i gyfrannu at y drafodaeth ac i helpu i benderfynu’r ffordd ymlaen ar gyfer y gymuned Gymraeg yn Iwerddon. Anfonwch e-bost at info@welshsociety.ie am fanylion ymuno.
