Other very good programmes are Lá le Mamó nó le Daideó or Is Mise. GAA Cúl Camps is a 15 part series exploring a virtual Cúl Camps at home in Irish. Mo Shaol Do Shaol is another good programme where two very different people swap hobbies for a day. Is Eolaí Mé is a super science progamme for children with higher proficiency in Irish.

Scéalta Le Spraoi is a lovely You Tube Chanel where a teacher reads stories as Gaeilge or does little STEM activities through Gaeilge.
