Modern Irish and Liam Ó Duibhiolla
Episode 44
Saturday, 31 January, 2026
Dia daoibh, language lovers! Episode 44 is here and it sees a return to the Irish language (Gaeilge), but this time with a focus on its modern shape and story. In this regard, the episode forms a trio with episodes 39 (Scottish Gaelic and David Adger) and 15 (Old Irish and Danny Bate – that is, me, your host). Modern Irish was the choice of guest Liam Ó Duibhiolla, a speaker and teacher of Irish. Liam is the founder of the platform Learn Irish Online. Our chat touches on his work and how it fits into a recent uptick for the language, after two very difficult centuries.
