Scoil Ghaeilge Margaret Keane - The Margaret Keane Irish Language School
December 19, 2024
We’re delighted that our Irish Language School, named after the late Margaret Keane, has completed another successful term. Sixteen students have completed an 8 week course with teacher, Nollaig Doughan.
Due to demand, a continuation beginners+ course will be provided next year. Registration will open in mid-January 2025 for an 8 week course to commence on Thursday 20 February 2025.
We will also be holding an Irish Language Day on Saturday 8 March 2025, which will include a language taster class in the morning, bi-lingual walking history tour around Coventry city centre in the afternoon, and a social evening with a pop-up Gaeltacht and quiz. More details to follow in the New Year.

We would like to include a section on our website dedicated to An Ghaeilge. If you may be able to provide a few hours volunteering time in the New Year to help us write a welcome section, as Gaeilge, with links to helpful resources, then that would be ar fheabhas! Please contact our Caroline Brogan: caroline.brogan@covirishsoc.org.uk if you may be able to help.
