Acmhainní - Resources
Compilation of Youtube accounts with Irish language content on their page.
All hyperlinks are as the account is titled on Youtube which is why fadas are not included at times.
If you notice any spelling or grammar mistakes in any non hyperlinked text please let me know.
If your account is included on this list and you do not want it to be please let me know.
I have not personally watched the videos on all of these accounts and their inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean the standard of Irish used is high. Where possible I have placed accounts I believe are higher quality, or that I have watched more videos of higher within their respective categories. Otherwise channels are simply in order of when I encountered them.
If you know of any other accounts that use the Irish language in their videos, no matter the age of the account, please send them to me. My goal is to create an extensive list here as search engines are not optimised to identify the Irish language.
