In order to strengthen the understanding of the language and culture of Ireland, promote the teachers' integration into the local teaching and life, and enhance the friendship between them, the UCC CI hired an Irish teacher, Professor Pádraig ó Flaitheartaigh, to conduct a ten-week Irish language course.
