The Irish Language | Gaelic speaking regions in Galway and County Clare 

I love how in the beginning when he starts speaking, the kids in the background are singing the song Óro se do bheatha ‘bhaile.

These videos are so so beautiful, and are of serious historical importance. Please keep making them! :)

My grandfather was born and lived all his life in the USA, but his grandparents O'Connor were immigrants from Ireland ( County Leitrim ) in the 1800s. The cadence and manner of his speech would make you think he had come from Ireland, too. Just by being raised by a mother whose parents were natives of Eire, you could hear clear echoes of his ancestors in almost everything he said. Watching these beautiful videos awakens something in my soul. I become nostalgic for a place I've not been, and enamored by people I've never met. I see my grandad in the faces of the old fellas sharing their youth, and hear him in the tales they tell. At the end of it all I'm more Irish then ever I thought myself to be.

Fair play for uploading these, very important but often unappreciated videos.

I want to learn!

Is trua nach bhfuil aon cainteoirí dúchas fágtha againn í gcontae an Chlár ach Tá Gaeilge fós láidir í gceantar áraithe den Contae. Tá sé mar príomh teanga an Tí ach chuile duine fós, mise leis. Bíonn Ghaelainn á labhairt agam gach Uile eile lá do m’shaol.....lasmuigh den Coras Oideachas🇮🇪 labhairt í agus mairfidh sí❤️

I have Reardan in my family tree, which originally was O’ Riordan.

Is mór an trua nach bhfuil aon gaeltacht laidir í gcondae an Chláir níos mó. Bhí an teannga láidir án fado.

Lovely. Thank you.

Thank you!

Give thanks

Beatha teanga í a labhairt!

Keep it up

what is the name of the club he was saying? sounded like rugarna

Alright fine. I'll move to Clare and speak Irish.

Maith thú!

Maith thú. físeán den scoth

Not died? Country Clare has no native Irish speakers. How do you define a language being dead then? French is as alive as Gaelic then in Co. Clare as it is taught at schools just as Gaelic is.
