We live and work on the peninsula where the Irish Language (Gaeilge) is still spoken. For us, Irish is a language worth preserving and promoting. We encourage visitors to learn a little about this central part of our heritage.There are roughly 7,000 languages spoken in just under 200 countries worldwide. Irish is one of the languages under pressure for its very survival. Approximately 9 languages cease to be spoken each year, we do not want Irish to become a dead language.
Take a little lime to learn a little and use it when visiting the Dingle Peninsula.
Sciuird Archaeological Tours have been bringing these sites alive for visitors since 1993. It is a small family owned business with a passion for the past.
