With this in mind, Údarás na Gaeltachta, along with Gaillimh le Gaeilge, Conradh na Gaeilge, Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe, and Ealaín na Gaeltachta, have organised a Lá Gaelach (Day of Irish) which will take place on Thursday July 5.

It may sound like a contradiction of terms, but teaching the Irish language in the opening decades of the last century could also be a method of teaching English. Irish was the spoken language in most homes of the west of Ireland, but it was recognised that knowledge of English was essential when emigration was usually the only way a young man or girl could better themselves. It is to the great credit of the Gaelic League, established in 1893 to promote the teaching of Irish in all national schools, that it recognised that fact. The Gaelic League, like its near contemporary the GAA, idealised the culture and way of life of the surviving Gaeltacht areas; and its success was largely due to its understanding that a bilingual approach would best serve everyone’s purposes.
