Is podcraoladh dátheangach é 'Plé', spás ina bhfuilimid ag tabhairt fé tuairimí daoine áirithe a scaipthe a mbaineann le spórt agus ár dteanga dúchasach. Is cómhrá é, ach níos mó ná sin, is cumarsáid é agus má thagann smaointí luachmhara trí Bhéarla, Gaeilge nó Laidinis, is leor sin. Smaointí saibhir a roinneadh is ea an príomh sprioc cé go ndéanfaimíd iarracht freastal ar chruinneas agus traidisiún chomh maith. So déanaigí dearmad ar aon drochscéal sa seomra ranga agus bainigí triail as!



There is a surge of interest in the Irish language at the moment, and with that comes the most common question; where do i start? Following something you are passionate about through that language is a great way in, because you  already speak the language of your interest fluently. 'Plé' aims to exploit that possibility, in the best sense of the word. Different languages offer different insights in to the events we collectively witness and Irish is no different. We hope to bring you those fresh insights in order to add value to the collective conversation around sport and it's meaning in our lives.

Bígí linn.
