This public panel on new speakers of Irish will be held as part of a meeting of a COST network of European academics researching new speakers, including those of minority languages such as Irish.

Three new speakers of Irish from various parts of Ireland and one speaker from the Gaeltacht will discuss their language background, their experience of learning Irish or English, their relationship with other Irish speakers and their thoughts on identity and belonging.

The session will be chaired by Dr. John Walsh, Head of the Department of Irish in NUI Galway. Dr. Walsh is a joint author (with Prof. Bernadette O’Rourke, Heriot-Watt University and Dr. Hugh Rowland, NUI Galway) of a forthcoming research report on new speakers of Irish, supported by Foras na Gaeilge. The report will be launched in October 2015.

This event will be held in Irish with interpretation to English provided.

We acknowledge the support of the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies, the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the Translation and Interpretation Unit, NUI Galway.
