The Welsh chapel in Dublin / Y Capel Cymraeg yn Nulyn


Good news about the Welsh chapel in Dublin – thanks to the efforts of  Declan Kelly, the outside of the chapel has been cleaned up through the removal of the graffiti and old paint which had covered it and the surface repainted. The original Welsh Church inscription has also been uncovered. Declan has done a wonderful job on that so many thanks to him.

We will be contacting Dublin City Council shortly to discuss the possibility of erecting the plaque which was created in 2016 but not erected at the time due to the condition of the building.  We’ll post a status update on the website when available.

A history of the chapel can be found on the Features page of our website.

Newyddion da am y capel Cymraeg yn Nulyn – diolch i ymdrechion Declan Kelly, mae tu allan y capel wedi ei lanhau trwy gael gwared ar y graffiti a’r hen baent oedd wedi ei orchuddio a’r gwaliau wedi ei ail-baentio. Mae’r geiriau ‘Welsh Church’ hefyd wedi’i ddadorchuddio. Mae Declan wedi gwneud gwaith gwych ar hynny felly rydyn ni’n ddiolchgar iawn iddo.

Byddwn yn cysylltu â Chyngor Dinas Dulyn yn fuan i drafod y posibilrwydd o godi’r plac a gafodd ei greu yn 2016 ond na chafodd ei godi ar y pryd oherwydd cyflwr yr adeilad. Byddwn yn postio diweddariad ar y wefan gyda’r datblygiadau.

Mae hanes y capel i’w gael ar dudalen Erthyglau ar ein gwefan.

Irish Choir visits Wales / Côr Gwyddelig yn ymweld â Chymru

Galway resident Rhodri Ceredig (originally from Aberystwyth) recently accompanied the Corrib male voice choir from County Galway on a trip to Wales, where they linked up with a number of Welsh choirs across the country, from Caernarfon to the Rhondda, to perform and to socialise.  The trip turned out to be a very enjoyable experience for all those involved.  If you’d like to know more about it, Rhodri has written an account of the trip which is available to read on our website at www.welshsociety.ie/news-and-events.


Teithiodd Rhodri Ceredig (yn wreiddiol o Aberystwyth)  yn ddiweddar â chôr meibion Corrib o Swydd Galway ar daith i Gymru, lle buont yn cwrdd â nifer o gorau Cymreig ledled y wlad, o Gaernarfon i’r Rhondda, i berfformio ac i gymdeithasu.  Roedd y daith yn brofiad pleserus iawn i bawb a gymerodd ran. Os hoffech wybod mwy amdani, mae Rhodri wedi ysgrifennu adroddiad o’r daith sydd ar gael i’w ddarllen (yn Saesneg) ar ein gwefan ar www.welshsociety.ie/news-and-events.
