This new conversation circle is a further development of Conradh na Gaeilge’s ‘Is Leor Beirt’ scheme, the national network of Irish-language conversation circles launched in November 2009 to give people a chance to practise speaking Irish.

It is hoped that the Leinster House Circle will provide a contact point for politicians with both a little and a lot of Irish, and will also help members of the Oireachtas to overcome their fear of speaking the language by providing a safe, friendly and informal setting in which they can practise their cúpla focal.
