World record attempt for the longest ever continuous conversation in Irish
August 13, 2013
This is the year of The Gathering but this year we are also celebrating ‘Bliain na Gaeilge’ with hundreds of events being hosted all over the country and abroad to celebrate our national language.
Since the retired GAA broadcaster and sports icon Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh officially launched Bliain na Gaeilge in Daingean Uí Chúis in west Kerry on New Year’s Eve hundreds of events have being hosting all around the country and abroad in recent months.
A wide range of international gatherings and local events running throughout Bliain na Gaeilge as well as seminars, concerts, sports, dance, literature readings, music and school events across the country will celebrate our language in a unique manner and now Irish speakers are facing a new challenge and the public are asked to come along and help set a new World record attempt for the longest ever continuous conversation in Irish.
Organizers of ‘Bliain na Gaeilge’ are organising ‘COMHRÁ 24/7‘, a world record attempt for the longest ever continuous conversation in Irish in the world as part of ‘Bliain na Gaeilge’!
People/groups can book an hour (or more)
Basically, various groups around the world are organising conversation circles in slots of one hour each and they will be included in the timetable for a NON-STOP conversation spanning a week from 29th September – 6th October 2013.
The chat will be streamed live on a particular web page and will allow the worldwide community to participate through twitter at #comhra247.
Organisers are looking for groups to take responsibility for the each hour slot (or more hours if a group wishes)
You can send the date and hour (or hours) that your group wants to book to comhra@cnag.ie or call +353 (0) 1 4757401
It would be a good idea to contact comhra@cnag.ie as soon as possible if you wish to book a specific hour (or more) for your group.
