Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann abú! An tSnáthaid Mhór & National Literacy Trust

Béal Feirste abú! Táimid ar bís a bheith ag obair le @NationalLiteracyTrust & @LauraFitzpatrick 

We were so delighted with the partnership between us @antsnathaidmhor  and @go_all_in_2026 #NationalYearOfReading2026 National Literacy Trust in supporting the National year of reading at this year’s Fleadh Cheoil

We were so delighted in bringing books, Gaeilge and literacy to Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.  We met an amazing amount of people who are searching for our shared heritage, a connection with language and community. 

Music weaves us together, language intertwines us and stories nurtures us all!

Táimid le chéile sa cheol, sa chultúr agus sa scéalaíocht!

“And when we put a book in a child’s hands particularly a book in their own language we are investing in their imagination, their confidence and their future.

This is how we make a National Year of Reading a national movement.

From the Fleadh, let’s take that message everywhere!’

Every child. Every language. Every story. Every opportunity to read.’
