Seachtain na Gaeilge is an annual event to promote the speaking and writing of the Irish language, with major backing in Ireland from the media including RTÉ.
To mark Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish week) in Brighton, a Ciorcal Comhrá (conversation group) from Brighton held their first public meeting at the Eagle pub, Gloucester Road in March.
The evening appealed to all levels by including a refresher on basic Irish phrases including common greetings and sayings, and ended with a fun quiz!
Such was the success of the evening that a similar event is being planned for September.
Watch this space for more details.
