Airing as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge.
From downward facing madras to Pop Up Gaeltachts, from Luas women to loose translations, Random Acts as Gaeilge brings you on a whistle stop tour of the Irish language along with the views of some well known faces including Stephen Fry and Ronan O’Gara.
James & Doireann ar an Luas
- There’s a generational collide when Snapchat-star James Kavanagh boards the Luas at Ranelagh and meets none other than Doireann Ní Bhriain, broadcaster, linguist, and Voice of the Luas, with insightful, educational, and hilarious results.
Snapchat
- We explore the role of social media, specifically Snapchat in the spread of Irish amongst the smartphone generation. Belfast-based Caoimhe Ní Chathail snaps regularly as Gaeilge, and through her snaps we explore Belfast and meet other people who are using their Gaeilge daily
Na Cnocadóirí
- We meet Na Cnocadóirí, founded in 2003, they are a hiking and hillwalking group set up to do just that, walk and hike, but using Irish as the main means of communication amongst members.
Pop Up Gaeltacht
- Staying with the Pop-Up Shop, Bar, and Restaurant culture that has emerged in recent years, the Pop Up Gaeltacht ‘pops up’ once a month in a venue in Dublin (with other cities being added to the mix) where people who want to speak Irish, gather, and speak Irish.
Hairy Baby
- Hairybaby t-shirts takes pride in offering the Irish public a range of high quality t-shirts that express who they really are & part of who we are is our language. The company, based in Cork, produces t-shirts with a distinct Irish-language slant through slogans and pop culture themes.
CD SNAG
- Critically acclaimed Dublin alt-rock group Delorentos bring us behind the scenes as they record their track, as Gaeilge, for this year’s Seachtain na Gaeilge Ceol 2017 CD
