Clare Libraries County Librarian, Helen Walsh, said, “The Irish language gives you an understanding into the Irish way of thinking. By expressing yourself in Irish, you are expressing Irish culture and history.”

Ms Walsh added, “It doesn’t matter if you only have a few words, everyone with an interest in the Irish language is welcome to join in the celebrations in our libraries this March.”

Irish is for everyone, Seachtain na Gaeilge le Energia is for everyone – Bain Triail Aisti – Surprise Yourself!
