Gearóid Ó Treasaigh, ICUF Irish Language Instructor at St. Thomas University, Fredericton, NB

Today,  I’ll be chatting with Gearóid Ó Treasaigh. Gearóid is the Irish Language Instructor at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He is in the middle of his second year of his ICUF scholarship. ICUF, being the Ireland Canada University Foundation. 

In this episode, Gearóid speaks about the ICUF scholarship program which brought him to Fredericton. You will hear about how he settled in one of Canada’s smaller cities and how being Irish shaped his experience. Gearóid and myself had never spoken in English before this conversation but I felt it necessary for the majority of the listenership of this podcast. We did record a supplementary conversation in Irish which was released at the same time as this episode so you should find it in your feed.
