Féile na bhFéidearthachtaí

Ar feadh i bhfad, breathnaíodh ar an nGaeilge tríd an lionsa céanna – scoileanna, ciorcail chomhrá agus aistriúcháin. Ach má dhéanann tú beagánín thochailt, feicfidh tú rud eile – cathair ar tí athraithe. Teanga atá réidh le slabhraí an sean-stíle a bhriseadh agus an todhchaí a thiomáint.

Ní rud den am atá thart í an Ghaeilge – is croílár na cruthaitheachta í, an splanc a mhúnlóidh ár dtodhchaí. Uirlis chumhachtach í, atá in ann cathair níos ceangailte, níos uileghabhálaí a chruthú – áit a dtéann nuálaíocht agus traidisiún lámh ar láimh.

Ag Féile na bhFéidearthachtaí, casann smaointe móra leis an dtionchar atá timpeall an chúinne. Le míonna anuas, tá 25 nuálaí ó údaráis áitiúla Bhaile Átha Cliath ag athshamhlú na Gaeilge mar inneall fáis don chontae. Ó ailtirí go hinnealtóirí, ó thógálaithe pobail go cumarsáidithe, tá na féidearthachtaí gan teorainn. Tá an Ghaeilge réidh le bheith i gcroílár an chéad chaibidil eile i scéal Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Anois, is fútsa atá sé. Ní taispeántas amháin é seo – is deis é. Bí ag plé lenár nuálaithe, déan a smaointe a dhúshlánú agus roinn d'fhís féin faoin todhchaí. Cibé an cainteoir Ghaeilge thú nó duine atá fiosrach faoin dteanga, tá do ghuth ríthábhachtach.

Ní ceist í an éireoidh leis an nGaeilge. Tá sé sin chun tarlú. Is í an cheist: an mbeidh tusa páirteach sa todhchaí seo?

For too long, people have viewed the Irish language through the prism of what has been—classrooms, ciorcail chomhrá, and translations. But scratch the surface, and you’ll see something different. A city on the edge of change. A language ready to break free from the past and drive the future.

Because the Irish language isn’t just part of our past—it’s fuelling the creativity, connection, and culture that will shape our future. It has the power to build a connected, inclusive Dublin, where innovation and tradition don’t just coexist, they fuel each other.

At Féile na bhFéidearthachtaí, bold ideas meet real-world impact. Over the past few months, 25 innovators from across Dublin’s local authorities have reimagined how the Irish language can drive our city forward. From architects to engineers, community builders to communicators, the possibilities are limitless. The Irish language is ready to power Dublin’s next chapter.

Now, the next step is yours. This isn’t just a showcase—it’s an opportunity. A space where you can engage with our innovators, challenge their ideas, and share your own vision of what’s possible. Whether you’re an Irish speaker or someone curious about its potential, your voice matters.

The question isn’t if the Irish language will grow. The question is: Will you be part of shaping what comes next?
