After more than a decade as PEIG.ie, the platform has been reborn as Scéal.ie with a contemporary look and expanded features designed to make news, events and learning resources about the Irish language easier to find. Officially launching at Oireachtas na Samhna (The November Gathering) on Thursday 30 October at 2.00 p.m., Scéal.ie promises clearer navigation, an interactive map for registering and browsing events and a user friendly English option to welcome speakers and learners of all levels.
After more than a decade as the main digital hub for the Irish language, PEIG.ie is being relaunched with a new name, fresh design, and a stronger focus on connecting and empowering the Irish-language community. Scéal.ie - a redesigned, rebranded, and revitalised digital platform - will be officially launched at Oireachtas na Samhna on Thursday, 30 October, at 2.00 p.m.
Over the years, PEIG.ie has been a central online destination for Irish-language news, events, job vacancies, and resources. In recent times, it has evolved into a valuable space for speakers, learners, and organisations alike.
Scéal.ie builds on that strong foundation with a modern, accessible design that offers an enhanced user experience across all devices. Visitors will find clear navigation and a clean layout that makes it easier than ever to access information. A new interactive map allows users to register or browse Irish-language events in Ireland and abroad, while a simplified English-language interface ensures the platform is welcoming for all levels of fluency.
Designed to be the central information point for the Irish language, Scéal.ie offers a comprehensive overview of opportunities and resources - from the latest news and information on language rights and services, to listings of Irish-language events in Ireland and overseas.
Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, President of Conradh na Gaeilge, said: “Scéal.ie marks an important new chapter for the Irish-language community. It provides a single, trusted place for people to access information, events, and opportunities related to the language. It’s now easier than ever for people to find information, get involved, and discover new ways to use Irish in their daily lives.”

Speaking about Scéal.ie, Fionnuala Ní Uallacháin, Multimedia Executive and Awareness Hub Manager, said: “We asked users what they wanted from the site - what worked, what didn’t, and what would make things easier - and we listened. People wanted one place where they could easily find everything about Irish: from news and events to jobs and learning opportunities. This isn’t just a redesign - it’s about making information more accessible, engaging, and relevant for today’s community. Scéal.ie brings a contemporary design, smarter navigation, and an improved user experience, creating one central hub of information for the Irish language.”
Scéal.ie will be officially launched at Oireachtas na Samhna on Thursday, 30 October, at 2.00 p.m., at Aonach an Oireachtais. The event will be hosted by Síomha Ní Ruairc, with the launch being conducted by Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, President of Conradh na Gaeilge, and Anna Davitt, Programme Manager: Communications, Marketing & Awareness at Foras na Gaeilge.
