Schools sign up for free! We will send out a package with sponsorship cards and free posters within a few days. It will give you more time to find out how many people want to participate.

Of course! Many schools pay for Gaeilge24 with their own Irish language budget. Let us know when you register in the "Anything else to add" box and in this case, we will not send you the sponsorship cards.

Yes! Many schools participate on another day if the 12th of November doesn't suit them. The only difference is that schools will not be able to participate in the live online events on the day, and that the 12th of November is mentioned with the posters/cards.

The students come back from the mid-term break on November 4th and the earliest we can ensure that your packages will be on time is the 7th November 2024.

If you intend to take on the challenge on another day be sure to let us know in the "Anything else to add" box when registering.

We would love for all teachers to be involved in the Gaeilge24 - and not just Irish teachers!

Once again, this year we will send one free t-shirt to every school with over 20 registered students. Unfortunately, we cannot provide teachers with bottles due to limited numbers. Special "Labhair Gaeilge liom inniu" stickers will be placed in the package for other teachers on the day.

The t-shirts are very expensive and, unfortunately, as a charity, we cannot afford to give them out for free to all teachers. However, we have 2 options:

1. We can order t-shirts for the teacher for €5 for every 20 registered students (For example, with a school of 200 registered students, one t-shirt goes to the school for free and we could send another 9 t-shirts for €5 per shirt). In this case, include the total amount of t-shirts in your order and leave a note in the "Anything else you want to say?" box when you register / confirm numbers with us.
2. Sometimes there are t-shirts left over from other years that we can offer to the teachers for free. We cannot be sure that we'll have the correct measurement and there is a chance that they will be different colors. Ask us in the box "Anything else you want to say?" when you register / confirm numbers with us.

Because Gaeilge24 deals with primary & post-primary schools, there are options for children's t-shirts (5-6 years, 7-8 years, 9-11 years, 12-13 years) and options for adults' t-shirts (L- large, XL-large, XXL large). We don't use S (small) or M (medium) t-shirts because the 12-13 shirts are bigger than an S t-shirt and this creates confusion for everyone!

Because of all this, we say that a 9-11 years t-shirt is the same as an S (small) t-shirt for an adult. And 12-13 is an M (medium) t-shirt for an adult. There is not much difference between them.

We recommend asking the students themselves which size t-shirt they prefer to wear - there is a space on the sponsorship card where they can choose a t-shirt themselves.

Sometimes the students have to wear the shirts over school clothes, it's worth taking that into account if that's the case in your own school.

Below is a chart with more information about t-shirt measurements from the t-shirt company. We have included a photo in "the package" section above showing different people from our own team wearing the different size t-shirts.

Every body is different, of course, but for the most part, when the Conradh na Gaeilge team are taking part they usually wear between 12-13 (M) or Large (L) t-shirts and a few XL.

Many schools have links with different charities that Gaeilge24 can raise money for. In this case, we will just ask you to cover the cost of the packages - any extra money you raise can be used to support your chosen charity. Contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you would like to discuss this option with us.

Any change can be made to the number of packages ordered until October 23rd 2024. We will send you a confirmation form a week before this deadline.

Everything will be ordered on that day and no major changes can be made after that. If there is an urgent need to make a minor change after that date, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will try to help you if the box has not already been packed, it would be best to make contact as soon as possible before the packing dates (6-8 November).

Unfortunately, each and every package is specially ordered for the school you are in when we confirm the numbers with you before the 23rd of October. We cannot accept packages that have been sent back to us.

All schools/colleges/businesses are very welcome to participate without the packages.

We ask you to still register with us and tell us how many students you intend to participate without the packages. In this case, we will keep you informed about the day and send you resources via email, as well as a link to the events for the day.

For the past 10 years the amount we are asking students to raise for Gaeilge24 has not changed. However, due to rising manufacturing and postage costs, we had to raise the price this year. This is why we have made a second, cheaper package available - to ensure that more people can take part. As a charity, Conradh na Gaeilge have to ensure that we do not make a loss on the Gaeilge24 campaign.

We would be grateful if the money collected can be forwarded to us by Friday, 29 November 2024. When the money has been paid, you will get a reciept. We will send you the Gaeilge24 certificates when everything is paid if you have to ask for them - you will receive an email with the different certificate options. There is no need to send the sponsorship cards back to us!
