AG TÓGÁIL CLAINNE LE GAEILGE

Le blianta beaga anuas tá méadú suntasach tagtha ar líon na dtuismitheoirí atá ag tógáil clainne le Gaeilge i gceantar Bhéal Feirste. An bhfuil go leor áiseanna tacaíochta ann dóibh, agus cad iad na deacrachtaí a bhíonn acu? Agus cad chuige a bhfuil sé chomh tábhachtach dóibh go pearsanta go mbeadh Gaeilge mar theanga an tí? San eagrán speisialta seo de Bhlas, labhraíonn Eoghan ar dtús le Máire Zepf, bean atá ag tógáil teaghlaigh s'aici ní go dátheangach ach go trítheangach!

In recent years there has been an appreciable increase in the number of parents raising their children through Irish in the Belfast area. In this special edition of Blas, Eoghan Ó Néill calls in on some of these families to see how they are getting on. Are there adequate support services available for them? What sort of difficulties have to be overcome? And why is raising their kids with Irish important to them personally? To kick things off, Eoghan speaks first to Máire Zepf, who is raising her own children not bilingually but trilingually!
