Four Galway GAA clubs have been honoured with awards for their work promoting the Irish Language.
CLG Oileáin Árainn, Baile an Dóirín, Gaeil na Gaillimhe and Cumann Camogaíochta Cois Fharraige all won Gold Medals at the prestigious Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha
Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha is a collaborative initiative between Glór na nGael and the GAA.
The partnership is dedicated to enhancing the presence and usage of the Irish language across GAA clubs nationwide.
A total of 55 clubs around the country were awarded Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals at a special ceremony in Croke Park last week.
Sports and entertainment broadcaster Gráinne McElwain presided over the ceremony which was attended by representatives of the clubs.
Galway had a standout performance, claiming more than half of the seven Gold medals awarded on the day.
These medals serve as a testament to the clubs’ ongoing efforts in integrating the Irish language into their activities and fostering its growth among their members and communities.
This event not only acknowledges individual club achievements but also reinforces the importance of preserving and promoting the Irish language through sport.
