Minutes of meeting are kept in Irish. There are Irish classes in the school for parents who wish to improve their own Irish. It is a rule of the school that children speak Irish. The school organises events and get-togethers to help parents get to know each other and create a community. This increases the exposure to the language.
Many supermarkets display notices in both Irish and English.
It happens frequently that we meet Irish speaking friends when shopping and stop for a chat in Irish. Some social activities are organised by Irish Language Organisations, Conradh na Gaeilge, Comhaltas ceolt ir Eireann, and Comhluadar. Irish is spoken at these events. There are people who take a purely functional attitude and ask why I bother. They try to persuade me that Irish is a dead language and a waste of time and money.
