An Irish-language school in Belfast’s East End is driving a cultural shift, with growing bilingualism transforming the city’s identity.
The Irish language is seeing a significant revival in Belfast, especially in East Belfast, where Scoil na Seolta, the first all-Irish primary school in a historically Unionist area, opened last year.
Led by principal Ciara Moore, the school serves children from diverse religious backgrounds, reflecting broader cultural shifts.
Irish is increasingly visible in public life through bilingual signage, city council projects, and businesses like Neighbourhood café.
Northern Ireland granted Irish protected minority status in 2022, appointed its first Irish language commissioner, and invested millions in bilingual initiatives.
While some Unionist leaders express concerns over political motives, the language’s growing presence—driven by education, youth, and music—is reshaping Belfast’s identity, transforming Irish from a symbol of division into one of shared heritage.
