Which organization founded Seachtain na Gaeilge?

Conradh na Gaeilge founded Seachtain na Gaeilge, the annual Irish-language festival.

Conradh na Gaeilge, also known in English as the Gaelic League, created the festival in 1902 as part of the Gaelic Revival. The organisation was founded in 1893 and worked to preserve, promote and restore Irish as a spoken and written language.

Seachtain na Gaeilge now runs annually from 1 March through Saint Patrick’s Day on 17 March. Its programme can include Irish-language classes, concerts, céilithe, quizzes, competitions, parades and sporting events. Although rooted in Ireland, it has developed into an international celebration of Irish language and culture.

The Gaelic Athletic Association is sometimes confused with the festival because both are important institutions of Irish cultural identity, but the GAA promotes Gaelic games and athletics. The Royal Irish Academy is a scholarly body, while Tourism Ireland promotes travel; neither founded the festival.
