Gaeilge agus Gaeil Raghnallach
Irish and Ranelagh Gaels

Tá an Ghaeilge ag fás mar cuid tábhachtach de chultúr Ghaeil Raghnallach.

The Irish language is becoming an increasingly important part of our club’s culture.
Spreagaimíd ár moltoirí, cóitseálaí agus imreoirí go léir cúpla focal Gaeilge a úsáid ar an bpáirc más féidir leo.
We encourage all our referees, coaches and players to use a little bit of Irish on the pitch if they can.
Tá roinnt mhaith páiste sa chlub ag freastal ar scoileanna lán-Ghaelach sa cheantar ar nós Scoil Bhríde agus Lios na nÓg agus dá bharr sin, tá dúil acu sa teanga.
A substantial number of children in the club attend local Gaelscoileanna and therefore have a strong interest in Irish.

Is aoibheann linn tuismitheoirí a chloisint ag labhairt beagán Gaeilge ar an dtaobhlíne chun na páistí a spreagadh – níl aon gá Gaeilge maith a bheith agat, ach sult a bhaint as an iarracht.
We love hearing parents shouting a few words of encouragement from the sideline as Gaeilge – there’s no need to be good at Irish, just enjoy giving it a go!

Má tá suim agat sa Ghaeilge, b’aoibheann linn cloisint ó duine ar bith le smaointe faoi imeachtaí Ghaeilge sa club agus conas iad a chur chunn cinn.  Contact Treoraí Gaeilge agus Cultúr.
If you’re interested in Irish, we’d love to hear from anyone with ideas about developing activities as Gaeilge in the club.

Fondúireacht Seosamh Mhic Dhonncha

Joe McDonagh Foundation
Tá Gaeil Raghnallach ag glacadh páirte sa Fondúireacht seo i mbliana don chéad uair riamh.
The club is taking part in this GAA-Glór na nGael Foundation this year for the first time.
  • Cad é? What is it?

    A foundation established by the GAA and Glór na nGael to help develop the Irish language at club level in the GAA. Irish has always been a core element of the GAA culture and the foundation aims to help clubs ensure it remains a part of their everyday activities and communication.

  • Cén t-aidhm atá ag Gaeil Raghnallach maidir leis an bhFondúireacht? What is Ranelagh Gael’s objective as far as this Foundation is concerned?

    I mbliana tá Gaeil Raghnallach ag iarraidh go mbronnfar bonn cré-umha orthu ag deireach 2020 má éiríonn linn 18 gníomhachtaí a chur i bhfeidhm sa club ar son an teanga. Táimíd ag obair go dian ar seo agus b’aoibheann linn closint ó gach duine sa chlub a bhfuil smaoineamh ar bith acu faoi imeachtaí as Gaeilge.


    This year Ranelagh Gaels are hoping to be awarded a bronze medal in Croke Park at the end of 2020 if we succeed in putting in place our target of 18 activities to support Irish in the club.

  • Conas is féidir an Ghaeilge a fhorbairt sa chlub? How to develop Irish further in the club?
    • Táimíd ag iarraidh gníomhachtaí a chur chun cinn chun tacaíocht a thabhairt do pháistí agus daoine fásta tuilleadh Gaeilge a labhairt - imreoirí, moltóirí, tuismitheoirí nó coitseálaí. We are committed to developing activities that support children and adults in speaking more Irish – players,referees, parents or coaches.
    • Tá fothchoiste Gaeilge again chun smaointe a fháil ó éinne le suim acu sa teanga agus bheadh ríméad orthu cloisint uait. We have an Irish working group for gathering ideas from anyone interested in the language and they’d be delighted to hear from you!
