There's Anam Beo published in Brussels - so there must be some Irish speakers living there, and there's http://www.nuacht24.com, antuairisceoir.com - I don't know if the Seachtain - Ar Fheabhas supplement is still being published

Have you any more info on Anam Beo? I found some 2008 articles saying it was launched but I can't find anything saying it exists today or how to get it. It doesn't sound like the daily news I'm looking for, but could be interesting anyway.

nuacht24.com has been inactive since 2013

I think Seachtain is still being published every Wednesday in the Indo in Ireland, but I don't know if it comes with the international edition we get over here. Couldn't get my hands on the Indo yesterday, will try again next week.

antuairisceoir.com - I hadn't seen that site. I'll give it a look. Thanks.

It's a bit late now, but in March they had a Seachtain na Gaeilge sa Bruiséil - if you look it up you could find out who organised it and what they're planning for next year. There's Irish in Europe.org who have a chapter in Brussels. In 2013 - so I've no idea if it's still going on, but you never know - the Is Leor Beirt scheme was on at The Old Oak Franklinstraat 26 - last Wednesday of every month 6 - 8 pm (contact Nicola Tzonkov) as well as at Stapleton's Standonckstraat 4 Leuven - every Sunday at 7 pm.

Thanks for looking around for those. I also found various events and social groups but most are on unmaintained web pages or the time/location isn't possible. I'll try to go to one or two but I'm not expecting much. Being able to spend ten minutes a day at home reading about the upcoming weekend's football or rugby would be much more useful and practical. What do native speakers read when they want sports news or national news in Irish?

I think I have the answer.

This site aggregates all the main sources of news in Irish: http://nuacht1.com/

It combines the Tuairisc.ie and RTE Nuacht articles with articles from a few other less prolific sources. And it also has a separate page for blogs and this page of podcasts: http://nuacht1.com/podchraoltai/

The only downside is that it's not split by topic, so when I want just sports news I'll still be going to http://tuairisc.ie/category/sport/

I'm still interested in hearing what others do for up-to-the-minute news in Irish or what people think of the various sources and writers. Is my conclusion a good one?
