Inniu, beidh An Saol ó Dheas á chraoladh beo ó Óstán an Meadowlands i dTrá Lí, áit a bhfuil siad ag ceiliúradh 20 bliain ar an bhfód. Ba iad Paddy agus Peigí O’Mathúna a bhunaigh an t-óstán, a d’oscail den chéad uair ar 19 Meitheamh 1988. Is as Baile an Fheirtéaraigh ó dhúchas do Phaddy, agus chaith sé blianta fada ag obair le próiseáil éisc sula ndeachaigh sé i mbun gnó mar óstánaí. Tá clár mór imeachtaí beartaithe don deireadh seachtaine don cheiliúradh, agus beidh an t-airgead uilig ag dul chun sochair Oispís Chiarraí. Inniu, cloisfidh muid faoi mar a thosaigh Paddy agus Peigí i mbun gnó, an dul chun cinn atá déanta acu le 20 bliain anuas, agus an méid atá beartaithe don cheiliúradh ag an deireadh seachtaine.
Today, An Saol ó Dheas will be broadcast from Meadowlands Hotel in Tralee, where they are celebrating 20 years in business this weekend. The hotel was established by Paddy and Peigí O’Mathúna and opened on 19 June 1998. Paddy O’Mathúna is originally from Baile an Fheirtéaraigh on the Dingle Peninsula and built his career in the fish processing industry before becoming a hotelier. There is a weekend of events planned at the hotel, and all proceeds will go to the Kerry Hospice Foundation / Palliative Care. Today, we’ll hear all about how the hotel started, and how far it has come since then, and the plans for the celebrations.
