Today we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, honouring Ireland’s patron saint and the vibrant culture that surrounds this day. From parades and music to sport and community celebrations, it has become a global moment to celebrate Irish heritage.
Gaeilge (Irish) is a minoritised language, spoken across the island but mainly in Gaeltacht areas. It is experiencing a huge upsurge in use and support among young Irish people. Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day is a perfect moment to use, promote, and learn Irish.
