Bretons In Ireland – Breizhiz En Iwerzhon – Bretons En Irlande – Briotánaigh in Éirinn

Localisation

Dublin

Dublin is where BreizhEire began, we established there a strong dynamic around our activities and places.

Places frequently used:
Club Chonradh na Gaeilge:
The Chonradh na Gaeilge is the Irish speaking club of Dublin centre. The Club is welcoming for several of our activities and various events which sometimes are organised jointly.
The CnG is situated on basement level (to access, go down the metal stairs) at 6 Harcourt street, next to St Stephen’s Green. It is open every day from 8.00 pm.

The Club Chonradh Na Gaeilge is a place primarily set for speaking and practicing the Irish language. It is therefore asked to anyone coming to this club to avoid speaking in English and to use primarily Irish when possible.

Monthly music & dance sessions

The monthly session is taking place every last Friday of the month from 9.00 pm at the Club Chonradh na Geailge (6 Harcourt st.). The night is an open session for dancers and musicians, becoming a small fest-noz as well as a great socialising time within BreizhEire.

Breton language classes/speaking sessions:

After having a regular session / class, we haven’t enough people to maintain this activity now, but this could start again if anyone shows interest in joining in.

Games:
From May until September we organise few afternoons where we play Breton games like Breton boules and palet, together with a picnic. This is either taking place in St Ann’s Park (Plan), or next to the Malahide Castle (Plan).

 

Galway

Galway is an ideal town where to live interceltism. Each year is organised a major Fest-Noz / Céili for St Patrick’s day by the very dynamic twinning committee.

Places frequently used:
Arus na nGael:

The Arus na nGael is the Irish speaking club of Galway, situated on 45 Dominic st. Open every day from 8.00 pm, you will find there Irish music sessions every Saturday night, when we don’t organise some fest-noz.

Dancing & Music sessions:

Happening every first Wednesday of each month at the Arus na nGael from 9.00 pm. It is a non-structured free class of Breton dancing, and also a great socialisation time within BreizhEire as well as the best time for musicians to play some Breton tunes.

Breton speaking sessions/classes:
