Use the Irish language online today!

Lá na Meán Sóisialta is being held today (Thursday, March 12th) as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge le Energia 2020. As part of Lá na Meán Sóisialta an official event was held in the Mansion House by Seachtain na Gaeilge le Energia today. The aim of Lá na Meán Sóisialta is to promote and increase the use and visibility of the Irish language online and to encourage people to use their own social media accounts as Gaeilge. 
 
Orlaith Nic Ghearailt, Manager of Seachtain na Gaeilge said: “Today on Lá na Meán Sóisialta, we are celebrating how much Irish has grown in popularity over the last few years. Irish is now among the top 150 languages used online. The people who have translated the social sites to Gaeilge deserve huge credit for this. We’re putting an emphasis on using the Irish language online and using the different platforms as Gaeilge as much as you can. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #LNMS20 too.”
 
You can take part in Lá na Meán Sóisialta by posting using the Irish language on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat and using the hashtag # LNMS20. Don’t forget you can use your own account as Gaeilge too. All events and programme information are available at www.snag.ie.
