Gaeltacht regions

Gaeltacht regions are areas in Ireland where Irish (Gaeilge) is the primary spoken language. These regions are culturally significant, as they preserve and promote Ireland’s native language and heritage. Located mainly along the western coast, such as parts of Galway, Donegal, and Kerry, Gaeltacht areas receive support to sustain their language and traditions. While most residents are bilingual, daily life often centers around Irish communication. These regions play a key role in Ireland’s cultural identity and efforts to revitalize the Irish language.
