The five-day course begins on Monday, June 30, and promises a vibrant week of activities
Ulster GAA will welcome visitors to CLG Na Dúnaibh, next week for the 2025 Cúrsa de Faoite Irish Language Course.
The five-day course begins on Monday, June 30, and promises a vibrant week of activities. Each day includes Irish language classes focused on the Ros Goill dialect, giving participants a unique opportunity to learn and deepen their understanding of the language. The programme also features a trip to Dunfanaghy and tour of the Workhouse, traditional music sessions and dancing.
There will also be a special concert with singers, musicians, storytellers and dancers from across county Donegal, before the week culminates with a celebratory meal.

Organisers in Na Dúnaibh are thrilled to host the course once again and hope it proves valuable for both new and advanced learners of Irish. It’s also a wonderful chance to celebrate our culture and promote the Irish language in a welcoming, community setting.
The course in named after Seamus De Faoite, a Donegal native who served as the first secretary of Ulster GAA Irish Language Committee, formed in 1989. He passed in 2006, but left behind a rich legacy of deep appreciation, promotion and learning of the Irish language and its heritage and culture. Today, the course imbues that legacy.
