Rediscover Irish: Free lessons as Gaeilge at Leitrim County Library

Irish lessons will begin in Ballinamore library on Tuesday, October 8 at 8pm. The classes are beginner level and are completely free of charge.

Ballinamore Library has built up a reputation for its Irish classes over the past 20 years. Hundreds of people have attended their classes and Ciorcail Chomhrá and speak of the atmosphere generated by tutors and attendees. 

From the start date to Christmas, the focus will be on beginners, and those at a similar skill level. 

Some of the beginners will be newly arrived immigrants who have never encountered the Irish language before coming to Ireland.

Emergency accommodation shortage in north Leitrim forces families to relocate

Cllr Eddie Mitchell urged the Council to tackle rising rental costs in north Leitrim and aid families needing emergency accommodation locally.

Others will be Irish people who learned Gaeilge in school and think they have forgotten it all, but they will soon discover they haven’t.

Anyone interested in taking part in these classes can contact Seán Ó Súilleabháin at 087 6821566 or email ballinamorelibrary@leitrimcoco.ie to book a place.
