About Rath Cairn Gaeltacht
Rath Cairn Gaeltacht in Rath Cairn
, Co. Meath.
Ráth Cairn is a Gaeltacht, Irish speaking area with a village, established in 1935 when 41 families from Connemara settled here when the Irish Land Commission allocated to each family, a house, a small farm holding (about 20 acres) and pigs. A further 11 families joined later on. In total, over 400 people moved from Connemara and in 1967 Ráth Cairn was officially recognised as a Gaeltacth area.
School children from all over Ireland are often sent here during the summer months to learn the language.
