Go deimhin, is an-annamh ina ábhar cainte é sna meáin chumarsáide agus ní fheicimse mórán leabhar ina thaobh sna siopaí leabhar ach an oiread.
Is ait liom sin, go háirithe agus cónaí orainn i dtír iarchoilíneach. Cén céatadán de dhaonra na hÉireann nó de...

The secret of success to Irish language →

Colún tuairimíochta le hEoghan Ó Néill le caoinchéad Gaelscéal
Aon seans go mbeidh ‘Earrach na nGael’ againn?
Go ndéanfaimis aithris lá éigin feasta ar ár gcol ceathracha Arabacha agus go n-éirímis as ár suan?
