CILL DARA LE GAEILGE

Cill Dara le Gaeilge is the lead organisation for Irish-language planning in County Kildare. Working with local businesses, the service helps firms deliver their products and customer support through Irish, while also assisting community groups that run events, workshops and cultural activities in the language.

The organisation's core services include strategic language-planning advice, promotion of Irish-medium events, and the delivery of beginner and intermediate Irish-language classes for parents, guardians and the wider public. It also plays a key role in the implementation of the County Kildare Irish Language Plan 2024-2030, providing guidance and resources to ensure the language's growth across the region.

Through a mix of news updates, workshops and collaborative projects such as the "Scéim na bhFáinní" initiative, Cill Dara le Gaeilge fosters a vibrant Irish-speaking community, helping both commercial and civic partners embed the language into everyday life throughout the county.
