Faigh amach faoi stair na Gaeilge i nDoire lenár leabhrán // Find out about the history of Irish in Derry with our booklet!

Tá scéal na Gaeilge anseo iontach inspioráideach agus ríshuimiúil, ach ag an am chéanna, níl mórán eolais ar fáil fúithi go poiblí. Sin an fáth a bhfuil lúcháir orainn a bheith ag foilsiú Céim ar Chéim, leabhrán lán taighde ó Mary Delargy, agus léargais ó mhórán gníomhaithe áitiúla!

Faigh do chóip inniu ag ar bhfáiltiú agus glac ár dturas féintreoraithe, ar fáil ar ár suíomh gréasáin anseo: www.culturlann.org/teanga/ceim-ar-cheim

Tá muid buíoch de Chiste Oidhreachta an Chrannchuir as a dtacaíocht fhíorluachmhar i dtaca leis an tionscadal seo.

The story of the Irish language here is both inspiring and fascinating, but at the same time, there is not a great deal of information available about it publicly. Which is why we're delighted to be publishing Céim ar Chéim, a booklet full of research from Mary Delargy, and insights from many local activists!

Get your copy today at our reception and take our self-guided tour, available on our website here: www.culturlann.org/teanga/ceim-ar-cheim

We are grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their invaluable support in this project.
