I’ve mentioned before how my family goes to the Gaeltacht to learn Irish each year, and the Coláiste where we study has made an Irish language video about the course (with English subtitles) in which you can see my dad and some of my classmates being interviewed as well as me, talking about ice cream and a bike. (:
If you’re looking to learn Irish in Ireland, I would recommend checking out the course.

I'm near sure the myths I've heard are usually about if you see a banshee she's usually sitting combing her hair up on a roof or in a tree she's never ground level for some reason. And if she threw her comb at you or you found a comb you'd be cursed. I remember being wee and shitting my self anytime I seen a fucking comb on the street...I'm terrified of banshee folklore and fairies Then the whole Darby O Gill thing with the 3 knocks of the banshee when it's time for you to die
There’s a banshee story relating to Coláiste na Rinne where I went as a student and worked for a while. The story goes that after midnight a girl occasionally appears walking around the Fáinne (it’s like a seat circle with plants in the middle) in a white nightshirt. The first year I worked there I was in one of the Tigh Nua which is still on campus but physically detached from the main dorm/college building but let me tell you, that made everything feel much more terrifying and you would really have to let me loose on the self-serve dessert to convince me to walk through the Fáinne alone at night.
Slightly out of topic but any Gaeltacht you could recommend? I'd like to go to one in the summer next year, but I don't have any idea for what one
I’m biased towards An Rinn in Waterford because that’s my “home Gaeltacht”, if you like. It’s a lovely place, gr8 beaches and Mooney’s is 10/10. It’s also only out the road from Dungarvan so it’s not too disconnected.
Out of interest, did anyone on here go to Coláiste na Rinne on Cúrsa C between 2008 and 2011?
