This Thursday sees the return of the Pop Up Gaeltacht for it’s third outing. A crowd of Irish speakers (and that includes those with limited vocabulary doing their best) descend on a pub for a night and speak Irish and do all the things that people do in the pub.
This time it’s in The Market Bar on fade Street, kicking off at 8pm. Event link.
