Gaeloideachas has provided a separate Facebook group for parents. The group is called Tearmann Teaghlaigh (family refuge) and information, resources and other things are shared in it. This group gives an opportunity to parents to ask and discuss questions together as well. You can find the group here.

 

  • 3) IrishForParents site

On the irishforparents site, you will find plenty of resources focusing on the language needs of parents whose children are attending Irish medium education. These resources will help you and your child as you go through Irish medium education together.
