Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates An Cumann Gaelach (English: "Irish Language Society") is a type of student society found in many colleges and universities in Ireland. Several of these societies were founded in the early 1900s as part of a wider revival of the Irish-language, which saw the establishment of national groups such as Conradh na Gaeilge (English: Gaelic League). Although the societies are not formally linked, they operate in a similar manner through the facilitating of Irish classes (often free), céilís and trips to the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking areas), while many hold events in March during Seachtain na Gaeilge (English: Irish Language Week). Some societies also take part in the annual Glór na nGael (English: Voice of the Gael) competition, which gives awards to third level groups for their work in the promotion of the Irish language. Coordinated by Foras na Gaeilge, the competition includes a specific category (Comórtas na gCumann Gaelacha) for colleges and universities.[1] The University of Glasgow's Cumann Gaelach Ollscoil Ghlaschú was founded in 2016.[2]
