In Defence of Gaeilge
A movement to revive the Irish language has gained momentum in recent years, with more and more young people becoming involved with learning and using the language.
The internet is largely to thank for this, as increased social media exposure and attention have heightened engagement with the language.
Groups like the Irish rap trio Kneecap, who have made their use of Gaeilge a focal point of their projects, have found mainstream success that has helped give the language a new lease of life.
Young people have found themselves at the centre of this movement, representing the future of the language and bridging generational gaps by keeping it alive.
Students have become particularly important in this latest wave of linguistic revitalisation, with college campuses like Trinity’s becoming significant cultural hubs.
