How popular has the Irish language become worldwide?

The Irish language has taken the world by storm in recent years. Films like An Cailín Ciúin and bands as big as Kneecap have launched Gaeilge to a whole new demographic.

Andrea is joined by Ciaran Charles, Producer of Crá, as well as Screen Ireland Spokesperson Louise Ryan and Entertainment Journalist Brian Lloyd to discuss. Image: TG4
