  1. #Irish (#Gaeilge) is the national and first official language of Ireland, but English is the most widely spoken. Irish is a #Celtic language and is still taught in schools and spoken in #Gaeltacht regions, primarily along the west coast 2)

  2. The Three Sisters at Twilight

    The Three Sisters on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry. The sun had just sunk below the horizon and beyond a cloud bank at the horizon but the sky was still glowing a lovely soft yellow glow.

  3. Black and Blue

    A striking blue wall on Dykegate Street caught my eye, especially in the bright sunlight that cast a stark shadow across it.

    Dingle is located in the heart of the Kerry Gaeltacht, one of Ireland’s officially designated Irish-speaking regions where Irish is the community language. The bilingual street signs throughout the town reflect this status, with the Irish name “Sráid an Daighide” appearing first, followed by the English “Dykegate Street.” The tradition of painting houses in bright colours in Dingle dates back centuries and was originally practical – helping fishermen identify their homes from the sea. Today, these colourful buildings have become one of Dingle’s most distinctive features, with strict planning guidelines ensuring that the tradition continues while maintaining the town’s unique character.

  14. Táim ag éirí bréan de na cóisirí Nollag ar fad faoin am seo, ach an ceann deireanach agus an ceann ba mhó/thábhachtaí ná amárach - #PopUp #Gaeltacht i McGinn's ó 18:30 agus Cóisir na Nollag an Bruach Thoir i McGinn's freisin ó 20:30. Súil agam go bhfeicfidh mé cuid agaibh ann don oíche fhada! #gaeilge

  15. Anyone know of a way of finding #popup #Gaeltacht info in London without joining FB?

  16. I'm just back to Dublin from the Galway Gaeltacht after collecting my son. I asked him to rate his experience at Coláiste Lurgan. He said 10/10. Great to hear.
    Wouldn't it be great if every child had the option of attending the Gaeltacht Summer Colleges?

  17. I'm very proud & privileged that my son is off to the coláiste samhraidh i gConamara tomorrow!
    He'll be the first child in 2 generations of my family to go to a #Gaeltacht summer course.

  18. I'm tooting this again - my review of my family holiday in a Gaeltacht area. I'm hoping a few people will read it and consider going to the Gaeltacht for holidays.

    Those of us not from a Gaeltacht or fluent Irish speakers can still support these areas by visiting and spending money there.

    If holidaying in Ireland this year, why not support the communities in the culturally rich and beautiful #Gaeltacht regions?
