Oibrí na Míosa
Is í Sarah Ní Ghiobúin Oibrí na Míosa, Mí na Bealtaine. Tá Sarah ag obair le Margadh na bhFeirmeoirí Bhaile Uí Thuatháile le dhá bhliain anuas, rud a thosaigh sí nuair a bhí sí ar thaithí oibre le linn na hIdirbhliana. As Béal an Átha Móir do Sarah agus tá sí sa chúigiú bhliain i nGairmscoil Chú Uladh. Bíonn Margadh na bhFeirmeoirí ar siúl maidin Dé Sathairn gach seachtain 9:00 – 13:00 ar Bhóthar an Chalaidh (Port Road) i Leitir Ceanainn. Is é John Graham ó Bhaile Uí Thuatháile atá i gceannas ar an mhargadh agus tá sé tugtha sé faoi deara aige go bhfuil níos mó Gaeilge á labhairt ag daoine mar go gcloiseann siad Sarah i mbun cainte i nGaeilge le custaiméirí. Buail isteach chuig an mhargadh agus gheobhaidh tú glasraí, uibheacha agus nithe eile den scoth ó Sarah agus seirbhís trí mheán na Gaeilge. Tá bácús iontach ann, bia blasta ó Sia agus tá níos mó ná cúpla focal ag an Bhúistéir Paddy Gildea agus ag Seamus fear na n-iasc! Is féidir leat bia breá, folláin, áitiúil a cheannach agus tús a chur leis an chomhrá i nGaeilge!
