What we do
Founded in 1979 and based in Spiddal, Connemara, Spailpín has grown from a small print workshop into a nationally recognised Irish brand and gift shop. Working in the heart of the Gaeltacht, the Irish language is woven into everything we create. It’s not an add-on or a slogan, it’s part of who we are and how we work.
Grá don Ghaeilge. Grá don cheird.
