The 2026 Ciste Spreagtha Fund is now closed!
We will be announcing Round 1 of events for Seachtain na Gaeilge 2027 soon.
The aim of the Ciste Spreagtha Fund is to encourage community groups both within and outside the Gaeltacht to organise Irish-language events in their local communities. By providing funding, the scheme gives groups the opportunity to run events and activities that promote the Irish language and encourage people in the community to get involved. Seachtain na Gaeilge will be used as a focal point to inspire communities to take action and create more opportunities to use Irish in the community.

These events are a wonderful opportunity to bring people together to celebrate our living language – in a fun and meaningful way that suits your own local area.
