Organisation that promotes the Irish language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conradh na Gaeilge ( KUN-rə nə GALE-gə; Irish: [ˈkɔn̪ˠɾˠə n̪ˠə ˈɡeːlʲɟə]), historically known in English as the Gaelic League, is a social and cultural organisation which promotes the Irish language in Ireland and worldwide. The organisation was founded in 1893 with Douglas Hyde as its first president, when it emerged as the successor of several 19th century groups such as the Gaelic Union. The organisation was a spearhead of the Gaelic revival and of Gaeilgeoir activism.
