## Resource

Housing shortages in Ireland’s Gaeltacht regions aren’t just a shelter crisis—they’re a language emergency. With Irish spoken daily in these communities, the inability to afford homes is forcing residents to leave, threatening the survival of the language for future generations. Since last September’s massive protests linking housing and language rights, little progress has been made. This new podcast dives deep into how the housing crunch is directly eroding the cultural heartbeat of Ireland’s Irish-speaking heartlands—revealing a crisis that demands urgent attention.
