A national pledge for Census 2027 Bilingual By27 medallion

One word. One phrase.
One conversation.

A voluntary campaign asking people across Ireland to speak a little Irish every day - so the answer is already true when Census 2027 asks the question.

Why this exists

Irish is thriving in classrooms. Now it needs to live in daily life.

Ability to speak Irish is rising - daily use outside the classroom isn't. By27 asks people to close that gap, a little, every day, before Census 2027 asks again.
