Cumann Gaelach Leath Chathail

Public benefits

Cumann Gaelach Leath Chathail's constitution outlines in simple language that the aim and purpose of the society is simultaniously both educational and cultural. The Society provides Irish language classes and cultural events for the Irish speaking community and those interested in learning more about the culture that is associated with the

language. These events help to enhance diversity in the community and provide a greater insight in to the cultural wealth of the district that many would otherwise be ignorant of. These services are available to anybody in the community regardless of race, gender, political, religious or ethnic background. The members of the Cumann receive no personal reward from the work of the Cumann and their voluntary contribution to the community.
