Got a fada on your mind? Brush up on Irish at Áras an Mhuilinn

Remember that time you swore you’d finally master Irish, right after you found your old schoolbooks in the attic? Or the moment you nodded along to TG4, pretending you knew exactly what was going on (but really hoping for subtitles)? Well, it’s time to turn those noble intentions into action, and there's no judgment or no exams, just good craic and great company.

Starting tomorrow, Wednesday October 22, at 8pm, Áras an Mhuilinn is opening its doors for Irish language classes for beginners and improvers. Whether you’re bravely dusting off the foclóir or just want to outshine your kids at the Irish homework, there’s a seat waiting for you.

And don’t worry if you’re feeling a bit rusty; we’ve all been there. The classes are relaxed, welcoming, and laughter-friendly. You’ll soon find yourself recognising words you forgot you knew and tossing out a few cúpla focal with surprising confidence.

So if you fancy unlocking the mysteries of TG4, understanding what your Gaeltacht cousins are saying on WhatsApp, or simply reconnecting with a beautiful part of Irish life, this is your moment.

Give Áras an Mhuilinn a ring on (04 933 0644 for details. No pop quizzes, no pressure, just a warm welcome and a good dose of Gaeilge.

Go on. Your inner schoolchild will thank you (and your múinteoir might even shed a tear of pride).
