He also discusses how historical attitudes towards Irish continue to influence modern perceptions and explores what a more confident relationship with the language might look like.This episode reminds us that language is not simply a tool for communication. It is also a connection to place, history, identity, culture, and community.This Episode Celebrates:* The power of challenging myths and misconceptions about Irish* The role of Gaelscoileanna in language revitalisation* The importance of community-led Irish language initiatives* The rich linguistic heritage that exists throughout Ireland, including beyond today's Gaeltacht regionsIf you've ever wondered why certain negative narratives about Irish persist, why bilingualism is viewed differently in Ireland than elsewhere, or what the future of the language might look like, this episode is for you.Thanks for your interest in The Language Question ~ Ceist na Teangan!

His love of the Irish language grew after spending time in East Timor teaching English. Experiencing life in a multilingual society led him to question why Ireland often makes such a “song and dance” about bilingualism.After returning to Ireland, Colm studied communications and worked with the Irish-language newspapers Lá and Gaelscéal. He now works in the non-profit sector but continues to contribute actively to public conversations about the Irish language, language attitudes, and language policy.While working in journalism, Colm became increasingly interested in the myths and misconceptions frequently repeated about Irish. This led him to develop a myth-busting campaign with Conradh na Gaeilge that examines common claims about the language and their impact on public attitudes. The campaign has included public talks, webinars, educational resources for teachers, YouTube videos, media appearances, and a TEDx Talk.Colm's writing has appeared in The Irish Times, TheJournal.ie, and other publications, and he has been interviewed on RTÉ Radio 1, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió na Life, Raidió Fáilte and BBC Radio. He believes that myths and misunderstandings about Irish continue to have a real and negative effect on the language, and much of his work focuses on challenging those assumptions through evidence, history, and public discussion.Learn more:Ted Talk InstagramConradh na Gaeilge This is a public episode.

The Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry captures hearts quickly – but the real magic reveals itself when visitors slow down, look closer, and step just slightly off the main path. Dingle Peninsula travel tips: how to experience it beyond the highlights The Dingle Peninsula is often at the top of Ireland itineraries – and for good reason. With dramatic coastal views, colorful villages, and deep-rooted history, it delivers that “this is Ireland” feeling in abundance. But the difference between a good visit and an unforgettable one often comes down to how you explore it. Located along the stunning Dingle Peninsula, Coumenoole Beach can be accessed by a very steep and winding road. The trek, by foot or car (if you're brave) is quite worth it on a fine, sunny day of your Ireland vacation. This article is based on podcast episode 338 featuring author Felicity Hayes-McCoy.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Slow down and let the place draw you in There's something about this corner of Ireland that feels almost welcoming in a personal way. Visitors who take their time – pausing for conversations, wandering into small villages, or simply sitting and watching the landscape – often feel a deeper connection. Take time to stop beyond the obvious viewpoints Chat with locals when the opportunity arises Allow space in your itinerary for unplanned discoveries It's not just about seeing the peninsula, it's about experiencing it. Rethink how you travel the Slea Head Drive The Slea Head Drive is one of Ireland's most scenic routes, but it can also feel overwhelming if you're navigating narrow roads and crowds. A surprisingly enjoyable alternative? Skip the car. Use the local “Nasc” bus (part of the Local Link system) Hop on and off in villages like Ventry, Ballyferriter, and Dún Chaoin Enjoy the views without the stress of driving For more active travelers, electric bike hire is also widely available – and can be tailored to shorter distances if needed. Avoid the crowds (without missing the beauty) Yes, there are popular stops – baby lamb photo ops, dramatic viewpoints, and iconic landmarks. But just a few minutes further along the road, you'll often find equally stunning scenery without the crowds. A simple mindset shift helps:If a spot is busy, keep going. Pull over at quieter viewpoints Explore lesser-known turnoffs Walk a short distance away from parking areas Every stop along Slea Head offers incredible views, you won't miss out. Explore beyond Dingle Town's main street Dingle Town may be small, but it has more to offer than the main strip near the marina. Venture a little further and you'll find: Side streets with local character Unique shops and cafés Café Liteartha – a beloved bookshop and café with a thoughtfully curated selection Keep an eye out for the Phoenix Cinema as well. This historic building is being restored into a community arts and cinema space, blending local culture with visitor experience. Discover the Gaeltacht experience The Dingle Peninsula is part of a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region), and the language remains a living, everyday part of life. Visitors can engage respectfully and naturally: Learn a few simple phrases like “hello” (dia dhuit) or “thank you” (go raibh maith agat) Notice signs indicating businesses where Irish is spoken Listen for the rhythm of the language in pubs and shops For a deeper immersion, tune your car radio to Raidió na Gaeltachta while driving – it's an easy way to experience the language. Don't skip the far end of the peninsula Many travelers turn back before fully exploring areas like Ballyferriter, but this stretch holds some of the peninsula's most rewarding experiences. Make time for: Ballyferriter village and its excellent local museum Ceann Trá (Ventry Strand), a stunning beach near the start of the drive Béal Bán beach near Ballyferriter, often quiet and perfect for a walk Ancient sites including promontory forts and early monastic remains These stops offer a deeper sense of place – less crowded, more personal. Enjoy the local flavor (literally and figuratively) The peninsula isn't just scenic – it's alive with community. Stop at Ventry Post Office for coffee, local goods, and picnic supplies Eat in pubs and restaurants where ingredients are often locally sourced Support small businesses and artisan makers Many locals wear multiple hats, you might meet someone serving your meal whose family caught the fish that morning. Take to the sea Boat trips to the Blasket Islands are a standout experience for visitors who have the time. Explore the dramatic coastline from the water Visit the Great Blasket Island for history and scenery Experience a quieter, more remote side of the peninsula It's a powerful way to understand the region's connection to the Atlantic. Three places to make time for on the Dingle Peninsula Ventry Post Office: Coffee, local goods, and a perfect stop near a beautiful beach Ballyferriter Museum: A small but expertly curated look at the area's history Phoenix Cinema (Dingle Town): A historic space being thoughtfully reimagined The Dingle Peninsula is one of those places that stays with people long after they leave. Take your time, follow your curiosity, and you'll likely find a corner that feels entirely your own. About Felicity Hayes-McCoy Felicity Hayes-McCoy is an author with a deep personal connection to the Dingle Peninsula, having first visited as a teenager and later making her home there. Her perspective blends storytelling with lived experience, which gives visitors a richer understanding of the area beyond the usual sightseeing stops. Travelers interested in diving deeper into the region may enjoy her books, especially: The House on an Irish Hillside – a memoir about finding and restoring her home in Dingle, offering insight into local life and community The Finfarran series – novels inspired by the peninsula's landscapes and sense of community Dingle and Its Hinterland – a detailed guidebook for exploring the area Signed copies of her books can often be found at Café Liteartha (the bookshop and café in Dingle Town), making it a worthwhile stop for visitors who enjoy connecting stories to place. For those who want to continue their connection to Ireland after returning home, her work offers an accessible way to revisit the rhythms, relationships, and sense of belonging that define the Dingle Peninsula.
