Irish Language Lessons – Hamilton Irish Arts

Next Irish Language Lesson - TBA

We are overjoyed to announce that Brian McNamara is our newest Member of the Executive. He is now our new Treorai na Gaeilge aka Language Officer.

Hamilton Irish Arts was holding Irish Language Lessons in 2020 at the Irish Club of Hamilton. We were happy to welcome Roisin Dunsby as our new Language Teacher. When we start holding classes again, come enjoy and discover the beauty of the Irish language through dialogue, poetry and music. It is fun, pleasant evening for everyone!

We plan on holding lessons on the 3rd Monday of each month (except when it is a holiday Monday, then it will be rescheduled) from 7 pm to 9 pm. Check calendar for dates!!

Upcoming Classes – Cancelled due to Covid 19 – We will post new classes as soon as we start up again.
