Irish – Gaeilge

The Irish curriculum is part of the new Primary Language Curriculum, which was introduced in recent years. Just like the English curriculum, it has 3 strands:

1. Teanga ó Bhéal (Oral Language)
2. Léitheoireacht (Reading)
3. Scríbhneoireacht (Writing)

Gaeilge is generally taught across 10 themes/topics – this is the case across all class levels. These themes are:

– Mé Féin (myself)
– Éadaí (clothes)
– Bia (food)
– Caitheamh Aimsire (pastimes)
– An Scoil (school)
– Sa Bhaile (Home)
– Siopadóireacht (shopping)
– Teilifís (television)
– Aimsir (weather)
​- Ócáidí Speisialta (special occasions).
