The Celtic League (www.celticleague.net) – this organisation, with branches in 6 Celtic countries, was founded in 1961 by Celtic nationalists who saw the need for an inter Celtic organisation with a political dimension in order to make the peoples of the Celtic nations more aware of their commonality in terms of their language, history and culture, to further the Celtic nations’ right to independence and to promote the benefits of inter Celtic co-operation.

BreizhÉire (Brittany Ireland Association) (www.breizheire.ie) – BreizhEire is an association whose goal is to gather all Bretons
and Brittany lovers in Ireland around Breton cultural events & activities.  This includes holding a Breton dance evening (Fest Noz) on the last Saturday of each month in the Cobblestone lounge in Smithfield, Dublin.

Chapel plaque update / Newyddion plac y capel

We are continuing to discuss erection of a plaque on the old Welsh chapel in Talbot Street, Dublin with Dublin City Council.   The plaque has been made and is currently stored in the council offices.   However, the external condition of the building is a cause for concern for the council committee which authorises erection of the plaque, which has not yet received final approval from them.  Click here to see a report from the council on the current status of the campaign.  We will continue to liaise with the council in order to bring the issue to a final resolution and will keep you updated on progress.

Rydym yn parhau i drafod codi plac ar yr hen gapel Cymraeg yn Talbot Street, Dulyn gyda Chyngor Dinas Dulyn. Mae’r plac wedi cael ei wneud ac yn cael ei storio ar hyn o bryd yn swyddfeydd y cyngor. Fodd bynnag, mae cyflwr allanol yr adeilad yn peri pryder i’r pwyllgor y cyngor sy’n awdurdodi codi’r plac, sydd ddim wedi derbyn cymeradwyaeth derfynol eto oddi wrthynt. Cliciwch yma i weld adroddiad gan y cyngor ar statws presennol yr ymgyrch. Byddwn yn parhau i gysylltu â’r cyngor er mwyn dod â’r mater i benderfyniad terfynol a byddwn yn eich hysbysebu am ddatblygiadau.
