An Chumann Gaelach
Cuirtear imeachtaí spraoiúil agus seachtanúil ar siúl leis an gCumann Gaelach atá oscailte do chách. Bíonn deis agat do Ghaeilge a úsáid, a chleachtadh, agus, mura bhfuil focail Gaeilge agat (go fóill!) a phiocadh suas. Is slí iontach í an Ghaeilge chun buaileadh le cáirde nua ar an gcoláiste, agus tá an Chumann anseo chun an deis sin a thabhairt sna himeachtaí shóisialta a gcuirtear ar siúl leo. Bíonn fuíollach spraoi leo! Is cinnte go mbeidh Seachtain na bhFreisear gnóthach curtha le chéile ag an Cumann, mar sin bí ag faire amach ar Instagram @cumanngaelachtcd d’aon nuacht!
Seomra na Gaeilge
Tá Seomra na Gaeilge, atá os cionn Bialann an Bhutrach, ar fáil mar láthair lán-Gaelach chun crocadh thart ann, staidéar a dhéanamh, agus a bheith ar do shuaimhneas. Is féidir tae, caifé, agus brioscaí a fháil sa seomra. Freisin, tá micreathonn ann le úsáid aon am gur mhaith leat. Is anseo go mbíonn mórán de na himeachtaí Gaelaigh, mar sin, is croí-lár na Gaeilge i gColáiste na Tríonóide atá ann.
Deiseanna sna Meáin i gColáiste na Tríonóide
Tá roinn Gaeilge ag Trinity News agus University Times agus tá an dá pháipéar sásta glacadh le hailt ó éinne. Freisin, bíonn ana-chuid de fhoilseacháin eile an Choláiste sásta glacadh le Gaeilge, ina measc Tuathal agus Journal of Literary Translation. Ó thaobh raidió de, bíonn Trinity FM i gcónaí ag lorg daoine le suim sa Ghaeilge chun cláracha a chraoladh uathu. Bíonn scoláirí le Gaeilge freisin á lorg ag Trinity ar son na meáin shóisialta. Tá gach saghas rogha do chuid spéis sa Ghaeilge a léiriú!
Timpeall na hÁite
Tá níos mó Gaeilge ná a bhí ariamh le feiceáil timpeall an Choláiste agus tagann mórán de seo ó obair dhíograiseach Aontas na Mic Léinn agus ón Oifigeach na Gaeilge s’acu ach go háirithe. Tá Aoife Ní Bhriain, Oifigeach na Gaeilge Aontas na Mic Léinn don bhliain 2025/26, agus Oifig na Gaeilge an Choláiste ar fáil mar chabhair d’aon fiosruithe maidir leis an nGaeilge. Freisin cuirtear ranganna Gaeilge saor in aisce ar fáil do mhic léinn an Choláiste le linn an téarma. Beidh ríomhphoist faighte agaibh tús an téarma le tuilleadh eolas ar na ranganna seo.

An Chumann Gaelach
An Chumann Gaelach organises fun weekly events that are open to anyone! You have an opportunity to use your Irish, practice it and, if you have none (yet!), to pick some Irish up. The Irish language is a great way to meet new friends in college, and An Chumann is giving you all such opportunities at its great social events. They are plenty fun! They will certainly have plenty organised for Fresher’s Week, so make sure to keep an eye on their Instragam @cumanngaelachtcd for updates!
Seomra na Gaeilge
Seomra na Gaeilge, which is above the Buttery Restaurant, is open as an Irish language area for students to hang around, study, or relax. There is tea, coffee, and biscuits available in the room. As well, there is a microwave to use anytime you want. It is here that most of the Irish-language events happen in Trinity, so it can be considered the centre of Trinity’s Irish-language world.
Irish-Language Media Opportunities in Trinity
Both Trinity News and University Times have Irish-language sections and both newspapers are happy to accept articles from any writers. There are also plenty of other publications in Trinity that are happy to accept work in Irish, including Tuathal and Journal of Literary Translation. With regards radio, Trinity FM are always looking for Irish speakers to host and put together shows. As well as this, Trinity are frequntly looking for Irish speakers to work on their social media teams. There are many ways to apply your Irish-language interest!
Out and About
There is more Irish to be seen around Trinity than ever before and this is in large part due to the hard work of the Student’s Union and the Oifigeach na Gaeilge, in particular. Aoife Ní Bhriain, who is the Student Union’s Oifigeach na Gaeilge for the 2025/26 year, and Trinity’s Irish Language Office are available to help with any enquiries relating to Irish in Trinity. As well, Irish-language classes are made available to Trinity students free of charge during the term. Students will receive an email at the start of term with more information regarding these classes.
