Chuir an naidheachd mu bhàs Eithne Vallely mulad oirnn uile aig Ceòlas.

Bha Eithne agus an duine aice, Brian, uabhasach taiceil do Cheòlas thar nam bliadhnaichean, a’ tadhal air an Sgoil Shamhraidh againn cha mhòr a h-uile bliadhna.
Tha sinn a’ cur ar co-fhaireachdainn gu Brian agus an teaghlach, Niall, Cillian, Caoimhin, Lorcan agus Máire aig an àm dhuilich seo.
Fois shìorraidh dha h-anam, a Thighearna agus solas nach dìobair deàrrsadh oirre. Gun robh a fois ann an sìth.

Chuir an nuacht faoi bhás Eithne Vallely brón orainn uile ag Ceòlas. Bhí Eithne agus a fear céile, Brian, ina lucht tacaíochta dílis ag Ceòlas le fada an lá, agus d’fhreastail siad ar go leor dár scoileanna samhraidh thar na blianta. Gabhaimid ár gcomhbhrón ó chroí le Brian agus lena gclann - Niall, Cillian, Caoimhín, Lorcan agus Máire. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.

All of us at Ceòlas were saddened by the news of the passing of Eithne Vallely. Eithne and her husband Brian were long-standing supporters of Ceòlas and attended many of our summer schools over the years. Our sincere condolences to Brian and their family Niall, Cillian, Caoimhín, Lorcan and Máire at this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
