Galway West could lead the country in showing this is possible in Ireland - we are unique in having many credible centre-Left candidates in Seamus Sheridan (Green Party), Niall Ó Tuathail (Social Democrats), Catherine Connolly (Independent), and Trevor Ó Clochartaigh (Sinn Féin)... Three of our candidates – Ó Clochartaigh, Connolly, and Ó Tuathail - are Gaeilgeoirs, with Trevor being the Sinn Féin spokesman for the language and Gaeltacht.
Globe-trotting Gaeilgeoir extraordinaire, Manchán Magan, brings two delightful interactive shows to the Town Hall Theatre next month, where he will invite audiences to explore and celebrate Irish language and culture.
Cancer Care West has announced that Síle Seoige will be supporting the charity in this year's Connemara Marathon this April. The Newstalk broadcaster and Gaeilgeoir is organising a team of people including her sister Gráinne as well as chef Clodagh McKenna and models Roz Purcell and Rosanna Davison to take part in the marathon on April 7.
The Irish language is another issue for Northwestern voters, and it's an issue where Pearse outstrips his rivals. He is a committed Gaeilgeoir and his speech at this year's Stádas march was considered the best of the day.
Éamon Ó Cuív may seem like a gentle giant, and for the most part, he is. But whatever you do, don't mess with Dev Óg's beloved Irish language. Hell hath no fury like a Gaeilgeoir scorned, which NUIG is discovering to its cost. As a fluent speaker, and longstanding supporter of Gaeilge, Éamó is one of the great defenders of the language, which is on the 'endangered species' list.
Liadh is a passionate Gaeilgeoir and is in fact the first person from the Gaeltacht to contest a presidential race, and so the fact that the local launch of her campaign is being held right here in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht is very fitting indeed.
The gaeilgeoir started working in radio news two years later, before moving into television and landing a spot on the newsreading team.
'I'm firmly rooted in the Irish speaking'. That willingness to develop the Irish language and culture is something that matters deeply to Lynch. 'Absolutely, I would speak regularly with friends and family as Gaeilge', Lynch adds.
Nessa Childers... has, it seems, nothing better to do than question the use of Irish in the EU institutions... Her party leader Eamon Gilmore, a fluent Irish speaker, has always been very supportive of the language.
RTE presenter and proud gaeilgeoir Maura Derrane has admitted that doesn't speak her native language with her four-year-old son. Maura, who hails from Inis Mór, speaks Irish on air with her Afternoon Show co-host Dáithí Ó Sé...
Further evidence of her lack of bland is that the fiery Gaeilgeoir who grew up in Rathcairn, the Gaeltacht region of Co Meath, once said that she has sex in Irish.
Our conversation turns back to the Fleadh, something Aoibhinn herself used to take part in as a child. A gaeilgeoir and trad musician, she's a perfect fit to front the RTÉ show. "For me, Irish culture is so important. I dance, I play, I speak the language, and I think maybe a lot of Irish people don't tap into it as much. It's so great to go to the Fleadh, because it makes you realise how important it all is. People come from all over the world to attend it."
As well as the irrepressible Navan gaeilgeoir who had spent most of his previous career in the bilingual backwater of TG4, the nation was also introduced to another new star.
The gorgeous Gaeilgeoir... began her career on October 31, 1996...
Everywhere he appeared he epitomised the game. He was a Gaeilgeoir, almost a historian, nearly a politician.
Lipservice (TnaG, Tuesday): Sean McGinley was the examining muinteoir, the sort of testy Gaeilgeoir who features prominently in Leaving Cert nightmares... Holding up a pen to one of the students, McGinley probed for its Irish name. "Mala?" chanced the candidate. "Ni h-ea," said McGinley.
Carrie Crowley returns to her home city for a five-week residency to play the role of May. Carrie has performed extensively on stage and her return to the Theatre Royal is like coming home for this Waterford Gaeilgeoir.
Seán Bán Breathnach ... started his career with Radio Éireann in 1969 when he presented Popseó na Máirte, the first Irish-language pop music show, and became the first Gaeilgeoir pinup.
As a Gaeilgeoir, poet, academic (and physically, he was apparently a man of small stature), Hyde has much in common with our President-elect.
We gave the hunky gaeilgeoir a call to hear all about his preparation and how he gets his game face on for a hectic couple of nights on stage (not to mention the build-up over the past few weeks).
