Tráth na gCeist 2025/26

Tráth na gCeist Gael Linn aims to provide students of Irish in Ulster the opportunity to hear the language being spoken in an informal and light-hearted manner and to support the Irish teachers in their endeavours.

Each quiz is for teams of four. There are 6 rounds of questions with 10 questions in each round and team members may confer. The preliminary round will be held online. Prizes will be awarded for first and second place in each area.

Tráth na gCeist is open to teams of four from junior level classes in post-primary schools in Ulster. There is no limit to the number of teams a school may enter. The junior section is aimed primarily at students of Year 10 although Year 8 and Year 9 students are also allowed to take part.

Prizes are presented to the top two teams from both secondary and grammar schools.
