Gaeilge le Edward as Gael Linn - Irish with Edward from Gael Linn ☘️

20th Jun 2025

A big 'míle buíochas' to Edward from Gael Linn who visited our school this week to complete some Irish taster lessons with some P3 and P6 classes.

We really enjoyed the opportunity to learn 'cúpla focal' in Irish and we are excited to welcome Gael Linn back to our school next year as participants in the 'Scoil Spreagtha' programme. 

Why not have a go learning these Irish phrases at home:

  • Hello: Dia duit (pronounced: Jee-a ditch)
  • How are you?: Cad é mar atá tú(pronounced: ka j mar ata two)
  • I'm good: Tá mé go maith (pronounced: Ta may go moy)
  • Thank you: Go raibh maith agat (pronounced: Gur row my aw-gut)
  • Please: Le do thoil (pronounced: Leh duh hull)
  • Goodbye: Slán (pronounced: Slawn)


Ádh mór oraibh - Good Luck!
