where can I speak Irish-Dublin

Fuinseog

not sure if Conradh na Gaeilge has a list of businesses and shops in the capital where we can use our Gaeilge.

obvious places include the Conradh na Gaeilge bar, but if any of you know other places where Gaeilge is welcome it would be great if you cold make it known.

Whereabouts in Dublin are you based?

i am based on the northside. i was in the ilac library and there is a ciorcal comhra even saturday morning, but that could be artificial.

the more possibilities to speak it the better. beatha an teanga i a labhairt.

no point in learning a language if nobody is willing to speak it.

there are still people around with chips on their shoulders against it.

Pop into Conradh na Gaeilge and find a ciorcal comhrá. It's how I have learned the Irish language. My grammar may not be 100% correct all of the time, but I am very confident in speaking it.

am a member, but have yet to see a suitable event. internet is great.

i know when I lived in Galway Gaillimh le Gaeilge brought out a booklet with a list of businesses where Irish was welcome, but I guess Dublin is too big for that. I do not trust Gaeilge agus Failte signs as more often than not they are merely decorations.

a pity folks stopped wearing the fainne.

Dunno, Never been there. Thats the implication though. If you manage to go in some time let us know if you can.

Ceapaim go bhfuil sibh ró-dhóchasach maidir leis an áit sin. Chomh fada agus is eol domsa níl ann ach go bhfuil ainm gaeilge ar an áit. Dar ndóigh d'fhéadfadh duine le gaeilge a bheith in aice leat i ngan fhios duit (muna bhfuil aithne agat air/uirthi nó go bhfuil fáinne á chaitheamh aige/aici). Maidir leis an gCultúrlann i mBaile na Manach, bíonn roinnt daoine le gaeilge ann de ghnáth.

I'd love to be able to go about my daily business in the city centre speaking Irish - not necessarily to have full blown conversations but even as much as 'hi, can I have 'X', how much, here you go, thanks, bye'. I just don't feel as though it is possible. If I saw a shop-assistant wearing a fáinne I would definitely try. Twice in the past couple of years I managed to do a transation through Irish - once in the Jameson distillery when I bought a signed bottle of whisky which had my name as Gaeilge on it. The assistant was Irish, had Irish and it was a delightful experience to have a bit of a spontaneous chat like that in Irish, and also recently in Waterstones on Dawson St where I bought an Irish language book and the girl serving me also had Irish and initiated a conversation about some new books that had come in that were great. I wish I could do more shopping like that as Gaeilge.

I was in Waterstones as well recently and the woman at the desk started speaking to me in Irish when she saw I was buying Cré na Cille. I wonder was it the same person.

An gcaitheann duine ar bith an fáinne anseo? Níor léigh mé thart sé anois. Níl mé líofa, ach táim ag foghlaim. B'fheidir ba mhaith liom ceann? Maith dom mo ghaeilge briste, is poncánach mé.

Ulsteryank

B'fheidir tá sin, 'An bhfuil an fáinne ag duine ar bith?' It would be nice if more people wore them. Since reading about them, I've noticed a few people in the past that had one. Being from the States, I'm only at a GCSE level, but am anxious to use Irish when I can.

I'm able to use plenty in west Belfat's an Chulúrlann, in the heart of the Ceathrún Gealtachta, but even then I'm nervous to initiate a conversation with a stranger. I've frequently heard it spoken on the street there, and since the Gaeltacht Quarter was extended into the city centre around Bank Square, have heard it spoken in pubs like The Hercules, Madens, & Kelly's Cellars. Kelly's actually offers free classes upstairs, and I am comfortable walking in and ordering pints as Gaeilge.

I ask about the Fáinne because I work throughout the whole of Ireland(am in Dublin frequently as well). It would be nice to maybe wear one if by chance some people still recognise them.

i wear the fainne cos it fits nicely onto the lapel of my jacket. in the past I used to get a slagging for wearing it and many regard it as passe, but its a nice way of knowing who is actually willing to speak the language. i just dont trust the Gaeilge agus failte signs in shops.

you can get get from Conradh na Gaeilge in Harcourt street

Seans go ndíoltar iad sa Chonradh anois, cé nach bhfaca mé ansin iad ariamh.
Is cinnte go mbíonn siad ar díol ag Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge ar Shráid Chill Dara, B.Á.C. 2

Well it would seem you can buy a "Fáinne" from Gaelport online:

Its a pity B.Á.C. doesn't have one of these.

The only quarter we have is the *cough* "cultural" quarter of Temple bar.
