Seachtain na Gaeilge 2022 – Amuigh faoin Aer – the Great Outdoors.
If you fancy a round of ‘iomándraíocht’ (magic hurling) in Bunratty Castle, an amhrán (song) at the Scariff seedsavers, a siúlóid (walk) at the holy wells of Clare or a poetry in nature adventure in Ennis, then Clare County Council has something for you in its Seachtain na Gaeilge programme for 2022.
The theme of Seachtain na Gaeilge 2022 is a celebration of life, ‘Amuigh Faoin Aer’ – the Great Outdoors. As springtime arrives, a series of bilingual events will showcase biodiversity, heritage and wellbeing. All events are free of charge/saor in aisce but numbers are limited and prior booking is essential.
Diarmuid Lyng, hurling star and TG4 presenter, will reveal his ‘iomándraíocht’, a playful reimagining of an ancient Gaelic sport, open to anyone, hurls provided.
Tony Kirby, Burren tour guide, will lead a relaxed 3km loop walk at Eagle’s Rock, Slieve Carran, stopping at two holy wells, on foot of his recent mapping project involving 270 tobair naofa across County Clare.
Siobhán de Paor, scríbhneoir agus file, poet and performer, will engage mind and body at Cois na hAbhna, inviting participants to conjure up ideas from the living nature around them.
At the Irish Seedsavers Association in Scariff, Úna Ní Chiosáin will lead a relaxed singing workshop with a springtime theme, inside and outside of the Blue Building.

Beidh Comhairle Contae an Chláir ag ceiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge 2022 faoi bhratach ‘Amuigh Faoin Spéir’ le sraith ceardlainne in áiteanna bainteach leis an timpeallacht agus le sláinte an phobail. Fáilte roimh chách.
Má tá fonn ort ‘iomándraíocht’ a imirt, I gCaisleán Bhun Raite, nó amhrán a fhoghlaim faoin earraigh sna Seedsavers (Scairbh) nó siúlóid go Tobar Naofa (Sliabh Carran) nó dán a chumadh I gCois na hAbhna, cuir d’ainm síos le Comhairle Contae an Chláir.
Bithéagsúlacht, Oidhreacht agus timpeallacht mar chroílár na seachtaine againn agus muidne ag faire amach ar theacht an Earraigh. Ní bheidh aon chostas ar na himeachtaí ach tá sé fíorthábhachtach go ndéantar áirithint roimh ré toisc go mbeidh srianta ann ar líon na ndaoine.
