Description
The Gaeltacht is the term used to refer to those areas of Ireland where the Irish language (Gaeilge) is still spoken as a community language, and its culture and traditions are very much alive and thriving. These Irish speaking communities are scattered over seven counties and four provinces. Situated mainly along the Western seaboard, the Gaeltacht covers extensive parts of counties Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Kerry and also parts of counties Cork, Meath and Waterford. These areas present many varied and interesting locations. Each region possesses an environment rich with heritage and folklore, culture and traditions, and a strong sense of its own identity and uniqueness. Here, within, lies the ‘true Ireland’!
