HOW TO GAEL, your favourite bilingual threesome, are back for 2026 !

More about the show

After a huge 2025 with sold out live shows across Ireland and the USA, summer festival appearances and much more , Doireann, Louise and Síomha are back every week for 2026.

Mar thriúr ban navigating their 30s, Doireann, Louise and Síomha are living, working and socialising as Gaeilge in a way that is suimiúil, spraíúil and just good craic. Forget gramadach agus obair bhaile, How To Gael is giving bilingual bottomless brunch, car chats with your cairde agus an stuff atá i do ghrúpa Whatsapp.

Besides being friends, TV presenters (TG4, RTÉ, Virgin Media) and women in their 30s, Doireann Ní Ghlacáin, Louise Cantillon and Síomha Ní Ruairc have another thing in common - they live their lives bilingually and as Gaeilge.

From dealing with criticism online to asking for a raise to calling on our ancestral wisdom, the cailíní will draw from their own personal experiences with a fun "how-to". They’ll navigate the problems most women have at this point in their lives. Come along on their weekly catch ups where current affairs, popular culture and just general gossip will also be á bplé. A bilingual format, How To Gael is your answer to bringing more Irish into your life, no matter your level.
