Hello everyone, my name is Au Yeung Ching Man, and my English name is Albert. 

大家好，我叫歐陽靖民，英文名係 Albert。我同我嘅太太同大仔約五年前黎到愛爾蘭，女兒喺愛爾蘭出世。當初係因為喺愛爾蘭呢邊搵到工作，所以決定一家人搬嚟。

🚨 The Global Cantonese Writing Initiative for Youth deadline is approaching — 1 August, 10:00 AM (GMT)!

You don’t need to know how to write the Han characters, as long as you can speak in Cantonese, we can help you prepare your submission!

Our sincere thanks to @chester_beatty_dublin for hosting Cantonese in Ireland's Reading and Writing Han Characters event on 14th June. Special thanks to our Vice Chair for delivering an engaging and insightful talk, and to Cathy for her support as a volunteer.

It's finally June again, a start of another wonderful summer here in Ireland. The 23rd June (ie TODYA!), is called Midsummer, which is close to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.

終於又到六月喇，愛爾蘭又迎來另一個美好嘅夏天。今日6月23號係仲夏節（Midsummer），好接近一年入面白晝最長嘅夏至。

Congratulations to Irene Yip from our Cantonese community on having her story published in One Good Day literary journal @gooddaycork !

After a few days of rare Irish sunshine, yesterday’s Cantonese-English storytime at Cork City Library @corkcitycouncil felt especially fitting! ☀️📖

呢幾日，太陽伯伯終於惦記愛爾蘭嘅居民，大大放送佢溫暖嘅陽光。

喵，又係我。
提提大家：全球兒童青少年粵文徵文比賽仲有45日就截止收稿啦！

Meow, it’s me again.
Just a quick reminder: there are only 45 days left before submissions close for the Global Cantonese Writing Competition for Children and Youth!

🐉🚣‍♂️ What a fantastic day at the Carlow Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, 7 June!

Our Cheung Po Tsai team was proud to race and represent the Cantonese in Ireland. Thank you to everyone who paddled with us and to all who came to cheer us on. 💪👏

On Wednesday 3 June, our Chair Max Yu and Vice Chair Alice Chau-Ginguené joined the National Migrant Inclusion Conference as panelist and moderator.

🐉🚣 Come and support Cantonese in Ireland at the Dragon Boat Races in Carlow tomorrow!

Ever wondered how the world’s oldest writing system still in use actually works?
Join Cantonese in Ireland at the Chester Beatty for an interactive workshop on Han characters.

What a wonderful afternoon we shared celebrating our 4th anniversary together. It was truly heartening to see such a diverse mix of people come together, whether from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Macau, Ireland, or beyond, united by culture, curiosity, and community spirit.

粵語愛爾蘭四周年慶典．多謝大家一齊慶祝！
好開心可以同大家一齊慶祝「粵語愛爾蘭」四周年，當日個聚會真係好溫馨！見到咁多嚟自香港、新加坡、馬來西亞、澳門、愛爾蘭，甚至其他地方嘅朋友聚首一堂，因為文化同興趣連結埋一齊，真係好感動。

🌞🌦️ Summer is here in Ireland! Sunshine, rain, and sometimes both at once—the sunglasses and raincoat are taking turns as usual!

🌞🌦️ 愛爾蘭夏天到喇！陽光、雨水，甚至兩樣一齊嚟，完全係日常！

Did you know that migrants can vote in Ireland?

You don’t need to be an Irish citizen to have your say. If you are aged 18 or over and live in Ireland, you can register to vote in local elections.

We had a lovely time at @belvederecollegesj on last Thursday (7 May) for our Cantonese Culture Workshop
