Gweedore Gaeltacht

Gweedore is the heartland of the Donegal Gaeltacht and indeed is one of the largest Irish Speaking areas in the country. As such the language plays a very important part in day-to-day life. The language is complemented by a rich cultural heritage in the area. This is particularly true in the field of music with many excellent traditional musicians originating from the locality.
