Gaeilgoiri who love to use Snapchat will be happy to learn about the app’s new feature.
Geofilters will now be available in Irish as well as English for each county across Ireland.
The 32 filters were created as part of Conradh na Gaeilge’s Gaelsnap campaign which ran a competition for the design of each filter this time last year.

Ireland is the top country for Snapchat usage based on percentage of usage by adults in each market, so it is fitting that the national language is now more prominent on the app.
“As the biggest users of Snapchat in the world, it’s fantastic to have the geofilters as Gaeilge being rolled out for Irish users today. We’d like to thank Snapchat for all their co-operation and also all the designers for submitting their amazing work,” Dr Niall Comer, President of Conradh na Gaeilge said.
