As we celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge across Ireland, TikTok is proud to highlight the thriving #GaelTok community that has become an integral part of the recent Irish language revival. From #KneeCap to #Feisteasanlae, the online Irish-speaking community is booming on the platform and bringing the Irish language and culture to entirely new audiences both at home and abroad.

With 39k posts using the #Gaeilge hashtag, creators across the platform are helping to modernise and popularise Gaeilge. These innovative creators are transforming Ireland's native language into engaging, accessible content through comedy, education, and contemporary lifestyle formats.
