Gaeilge Locha Riach was established in 1999, with the aim of promoting the Irish language in Loughrea. Gaeilge Locha Riach organizes Irish language classes, as well as Irish language events, such as the CLEAS book club, conversation circle, summer camps, youth club (Spleodar), and social evenings throughout the year.
We also provide supports for businesses, to enhance the service through Irish available in Loughrea.

Here’s a little taste of the fun and games that was had by the younger children (ages 3-6) at Campa Spraoi Locha Riach which took place two weeks ago. A great time was had by both the children and the staff and we’re really looking to next year’s camp! 😊
