TIONÓL LÁMHCHLEASAÍOCHTA INIS OÍRR
Is deireadh seachtaine lámhchleasaíocht, ceardlanna, cluichí agus seó trí Ghaeilge é. Cuirtear fáilte roimh lucht ceirde, lucht amaitéarach, agus daoine ar mhaith leo triail a bhaint as a gcuid Gaeilge a úsáid. An aidhm ná coinbhinsiúin lámhchleasaíochta a chur ar siúl trí mheán na Gaeilge. Halla le deimhniú!
Beidh ceardlanna lámhchleasaíochta agus Gaeilge do thosaitheoirí ann Dé hAoine agus Dé Sathairn, agus cluichí do chách Dé Domhnaigh. Beidh seó lámhchleasaíochta ar Inis Oírr Sathairn 29ú Lúnasa oscailte do chách.

Is spás é seo chun lámhchleasaíocht agus an Ghaeilge a chleachtadh, fiú mura bhfuil ceann ar bith agat. Ná bí buartha! Má tá tú macnamh air, tar ann!

EOLAS:
Tá feidhmchlár úsáideach "Inis Oírr Beo": https://www.inisoirrbeo.com/en
Tá eolas maidir le loistín, bia, áiteanna shuimiúla, agus rudaí le dhéanamh. Tá an feidhmchlár ar fáil i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla.
Ar an oileán tá suíomh campála, óstáin, agus B&B. Tá siopa amháin beag (Rabhadh: ní bheidh a ndóthain hummus ann!), bialanna, rothair le fáil ar cíos, agus báid chuig na hoileáin eile (Doolin ferries).

ENGLISH LANGUAGE

INIS OÍRR JUGGLING CONVENTION is a weekend of juggling, workshops, games, and a show - in Irish.
Attendees are encouraged to use their cúpla focal while practising their juggling. Seasoned professionals, enthusiasts, amateurs, and those looking to give juggling a go are encouraged to attend. The aim is to host a juggling convention though Irish. Hall TBC!
There will be beginners' Juggling and Irish workshops Friday and Saturday, and games for all on Sunday. There will be a juggling gala on Inis Oírr Saturday the 29th of August.

This is a space to practice juggling and the Irish language, even if you don't have much of either. If you are thinking about it, join us!

INFORMATION:
There is a useful mobile app "Inis Oírr Beo": https://www.inisoirrbeo.com/en
There is information on accommodation, food, places of interest, and things to do. The app is available in Irish and English.
On the island there is a campsite, hotels, and B&B. There is one small shop (Warning: there won't be enough hummus!), restaurants, bikes for hire, and boats to the other islands (Doolin ferries).
