INTRODUCTION
We have listed below examples of the use of Irish throughout our town. We are lucky to have a dedicated Irish school "Gael Scoil" which is located at Harbour Row (between Market Square and Killashee Street).

We are also fortunate to have a Council sub committee "An Coiste Logainmneacha Longfoirt" which has been responsible for greater use of Irish in names for new developments in our town.
