“Dinnseanchas na nDéise”

Cuid an-tábhachtach dár n-aitheantas agus dár bhféiniúlacht é ómós áite, sé sin an ceangal atá againn leis an dúthaigh timpeall orainn. Feidhmíonn logainmneacha agus na scéalta a bhaineann le logainmneacha mar uirlisí chun an ómós áite seo a fhiosrú agus a chíoradh. Cabhraíonn siad linn tuiscint a bheith againn ar an áit timpeall orainn agus nasc níos láidre a chothú lenár gceantair dhúchasacha.

A sense of place is an important part of our identity and can help us to connect to our surroundings. Placenames and the story of the names of places are ways to explore this sense of place and make ourselves feel more connected to where we come from and where we live.

Tá stair shaibhir de logainmneacha suimiúla ag Port Láirge agus tugaimid cuireadh duit anois féachaint isteach sa taighde agus san obair iontach atá déanta maidir leis na logainmneacha seo:
