The Volvo Ocean Race is the perfect opportunity to exhibit the best of Irish culture to the world and Galway has a long and proud tradition in keeping the Irish language alive. With this in mind, Údarás na Gaeltachta, along with Gaillimh le Gaeilge, Conradh na Gaeilge, Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe, and Ealaín na Gaeltachta, have organised a Lá Gaelach (Day of Irish) which will take place on Thursday July 5.

The Irish language is worth in excess of €136 million annually to the economy of Galway city and county, supports more than 5,000 jobs, and more than 90 per cent of city businesses believe that it is a unique selling point for Galway’s image and cultural identity.
