#144 How to be a young offender le Alex Murphy 03.11.2026 42mTá na mná ar fad ar ais le chéile arís! This time, Síomha calls on Doireann and Louise to tap into their sixth sense and find out if her prop is actually haunted! Agus ó The Young Offenders go Crá! An tseachtain seo ar How To Gael, is é an t-aisteoir Alex Murphy atá linn chun labhairt faoina dheich mbliana ar an teilifís, ó ghreann Chorcaí go drámaíocht choireachta dhorcha trí Ghaeilge. Alex takes us behind the scenes of Crá, reveals how he went from insecure about his Irish at school to learning his lines in just two months and shares his passion for the language, because, mar a dheirfidh é leat, is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste (anois is arís xx) Agus ar ndóigh, ní bheadh How To Gael ann gan amhrán. Alex gives us his party piece, Sadhbh Ní Bhruinneallaigh. Off book, ar ndóigh. Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland. Déan plean dod’ shaoire ghearr ag @discoverireland.ie Bí i dteagmháil linn!
