As soon as you are registered we will send you a package with sponsorship cards and posters for your school. This will give you some more time to work out how many students want to take part. Don’t worry if you haven’t got all the information now, we will confirm everything with you before the due date; October 25th 2023

You can register here

We recommend ordering more cards than you think you’ll need, in case you run out. Schools, whether big or small, can take part - some schools registered with 500+ students last year, and some other schools only had 30 students! A single class could register for Gaeilge24, or the whole school could take part!

A package with a sponsorship card will come in the post a few days after registration. Hand out the sponsorship cards to the students that expressed interest or to the entire school if you’d prefer. Assign them a due date to let you know what size t-shirt they want.

NB: According to feedback It is a lot harder to collect money from students once the day is over.

Make sure to confirm the number of students before October 25th. We will order the t-shirts and packages then. You can do this by emailing us or contacting us by phone.

We will order the packages at the start of the mid-term break when we have received the last order. We will send the packages by courier a week before the challenge is set to begin.

Every package should be received between November 8th-10th .

“Labhair Gaeilge liom inniu” stickers will be included in the package for the other teachers in the school.

The money collected doesn’t have to be sent on until the end of November. When payment is received we will send a receipt to you with the certificates.

Schools sign up for free! We will send out a package with sponsorship cards and free posters within a few days. It will give you more time to find out how many people want to participate.

Of course! Many schools pay for Gaeilge24 with their own Irish language budget. Let us know when you register in the "Anything else to add" box  and in this case, we will not send you the sponsorship cards.

Yes! Many schools participate on another day if the14th of  November doesn't suit them. The only difference is that schools will not be able to participate in the live online events on the day, and that the 14th of November is mentioned with the posters / cards.

The students come back from the mid-term break on 6 November and the earliest we can ensure that your packages will be on time is 9 November 2023.

If you intend to take on the challenge on another day be sure to let us know in the "Anything else to add" box when registering.

We would love for all teachers to be involved in the Gaeilge24, - and not just Irish teachers!

This year for the first time we will send one free t-shirt to every school with over 20 registered students. Special "Labhair Gaeilge liom inniu" stickers will be placed in the package for other teachers on the day.

The shirts are very expensive, and unfortunately, as a charity we cannot afford to give them out for free to all teachers. However we have 2 options.

1. We can order t-shirts for the teacher for €5 for every 20 registered students (For example, with a school of 200 registered students, one t-shirt goes to the school for free and we could send another 9 t-shirts for €5 per shirt). In this case, include the total amount of t-shirts in your order and leave a note in the "Anything else you want to say?" box when you register / confirm numbers with us.
2. Sometimes there are t-shirts left over from other years that we can offer to the teachers for free. We cannot be sure that we'll have the correct measurement and there is a chance that they will be different colors. Ask us in the box "Anything else you want to say?" when you register / confirm numbers with us.

Because Gaeilge24 deals with primary & post-primary schools, there are options for children's t-shirts (5-6 years, 7-8 years, 9-11 years, 12-13 years) and options for adults' t-shirts (L- large, XL-large, XXL large). We don't use S (small) or M (medium) t-shirts because the 12-13 shirts are bigger than an S t-shirt and this creates confusion for everyone!

Because of all this, we say that a 9-11 years t-shirt is the same as an S (small) t-shirt for an adult. And 12-13 is an M (medium) t-shirt for an adult. There is not much difference between them.

We recommend asking the students themselves which size t-shirt they prefer to wear - there is a space on the sponsorship card where they can choose a t-shirt themselves.

Sometimes the students have to wear the shirts over school clothes, it's worth taking that into account if that's the case in your own school.

Below is a chart with more information about t-shirt measurements from the t-shirt company. We have included a photo in "the package" section above showing different people from our own team wearing the different size t-shirts.

Every body is different of course but for the most part when the Conradh na Gaeilge team are taking part they usually wear between 12-13 (M) or large (L) t-shirts and a few XL.

Many schools have links with different charities that Gaeilge24 can raise money for. In this case, we will just ask you to cover the cost of the packages - any extra money you raise can be used to support your chosen charity. Contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you would like to discuss this option with us.

Any change can be made to the number of packages ordered until 25 October 2023. We will send you a confirmation form a week before this deadline.

Everything will be ordered on that day and no major changes can be made after that. If there is an urgent need to make a minor change after that date, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will try to help you if the box has not already been packed, it would be best to make contact as soon as possible before the packing dates (6-7 November).

Unfortunately each and every package is specially ordered for the school you are in when we confirm the numbers with you before 25 October. We cannot accept packages that have been sent back to us.

All schools/colleges/businesses are very welcome to participate without the packages.

We ask you to still register with us and tell us how many students you intend to participate without the packages. In this case we will keep you informed about the day and send you resources via email, as well as a link to the events for the day.

We would be grateful if the money collected can be forwarded to us by Friday, 1 December 2023. When the money has been paid, you will get a reciept. We will send you the Gaeilge24 certificates when everything is paid if you have to ask for them - you will receive an email with the different certificate options. There is no need to send the sponsorship cards back to us!
