Gaelcholáiste 4 Cherrywood Campaign

We are working with IMEASC on this campaign

Parent-led campaign to push for legislation guaranteeing right to Irish language education Ireland should follow Wales and compel Department of Education to plan proactively to increase Irish-medium education provision, campaigners say

Grúpa feachtais nua bunaithe chun éileamh a dhéanamh ar an gceart ar oideachas lán-Ghaeilge Deir an grúpa IMEASC go bhfuil gá le reachtaíocht chun a chinntiú go bhfuil sé de cheart ag gach páiste oideachas lán-Ghaeilge a fháil

There are 11 counties with no gaelcholáiste and campaigners say the department isn't doing enough Parent group Imeasc wants laws to allow the Department open Irish-medium secondary schools

Gaelcholáiste Nua

Tar éis blianta fada feachtasaíochta, tá an t-am beagnach linn nuair a bheidh tú in ann do pháistí a chlárú dár nGaelcholáiste nua ag tosú i Meán Fómhair 2026. Bí linn don oíche oscailte ar an 23 Meán Fómhair. Deis iontach chun aon cheisteanna atá agat a chur.

After years of campaigning, the moment is nearly here when you will be able to sign up your children for our new Gaelcholáiste starting in September 2026. Join us for the open night on 23rd September. Great chance to ask any questions that you have.

Call on government talks to address decline of Irish-medium education

Achainí déanta ar lucht na gcainteanna rialtais aghaidh a thabhairt ar mheath an ghaeloideachais Deir an eagraíocht Gaeloideachas go mbeidh deis ag an gcéad rialtas eile ‘bonn láidir’ a chur faoin oideachas lán-Ghaeilge ‘den chéad uair’

Thank you to all the politicians who have met with us and offered us support over the last year:
Dun Laoghaire - Richard Boyd Barret, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Cormac Devlin, Shane O'Brien, Ossian Smyth and Barry Ward.
Rathdown - Michael Fleming, Sinead Gibney, Catherine Martin, Neale Richmond and Shaun Tracey.

We particularly appreciate Sinead Gibney, Barry Ward, Shaun Tracey and Shane O’Brien raising the need for and support of a gaelcholáiste in Cherrywood in their literature and social media campaigns over the last few weeks.

Míle buíochas Senator Barry Ward for voicing your support for our gaelcholáiste campaign in your leaflet, and consistently supporting Irish medium education in Dun Laoghaire.

Míle buíochas as do chuid tacaíochta a Shinéad, ba bhreá linn a leithéid a chloisteáil ó gach iarrthóir sa cheantar

Tá ár teanga an-luachmhar dár gcultúr, dár stair agus dár bhféiniúlacht. Ní mór dúinn ár ndícheall a dhéanamh chun an tacaíocht a theastaíonn uithi a thabhairt di chun go mbeidh sí inan dul chun cinn i bpobal atá ag athrú. Our language is so valuable to our culture, our history and our identity. We must do our best to support the language and to address the needs of speakers in our growing Irish language community. #AnGaeilge #BaileAthaCliathRáthanDúin #GE24
