Irish quiz: Do you know your seanfhocail? Who founded Conradh na Gaeilge?

The 'Kneecap effect' has been credited with boosting Irish language popularity, with 68 per cent of sixth-year students reporting a love and appreciation for the language in a new survey.

The survey from online study tool Studyclix also revealed that 81 per cent of them believe the way the language is taught is outdated.

Many who learned Irish in school would agree with this, and blame the teaching methods for their inability to retain a good standard of Irish in their adult lives.

So, how confident are you in your Irish language ability? And do you know much about the history of the language? Take our quiz to test your knowledge!
