The series concludes with Hannah Sheehan, a student at Castleisland Community College, exploring the growing role of the Irish language in the lives of young people today. Through conversations with Traic Ó Braonáin of Cumann na bhFiann, teachers involved in Castleisland Community College's Gaelbhratach initiative, students from Meán Scoil Nua an Leith Triúigh's Irish language club, and Joseph Scanlan from CBS The Green, the programme examines youth clubs, language learning, cultural identity and the efforts being made to ensure Irish remains a living, spoken language for future generations. The episode highlights how young people are creating new opportunities to use Irish beyond the classroom while also exploring ways the language can be taught and promoted more effectively.
"It's not only a language. It connects you to our culture, it connects you to people."
Together, these eight episodes reveal something powerful happening across Kerry. Young people are already contributing to their communities, driving change, challenging assumptions and creating opportunities for others. Their stories demonstrate not only an awareness of the challenges facing their generation, but also a willingness to be part of the solution. Throughout the series, one message comes through clearly: young people are not waiting for the future to arrive - they are already helping to build it.
