==Post-primary education through Irish==

A secondary-level Gaelscoil located in a non-Gaeltacht area is commonly known as a Gaelcholáiste.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/dec/08/teenagers-not-alone-sharing-intimate-stories-stephen-moss|title=Teenagers trade personal stories: 'It's great to find you are not alone'|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=8 December 2018}}</ref> There are 31 Gaelcholáistí and 17 second-level Irish language units (''aonaid Ghaeilge'') on the island of Ireland, attended by over 12,000 students. Close to 4,000 further students receive their second-level education through Irish in the Gaeltacht.<ref name="Gaeloideachas">{{Cite web|url=https://gaeloideachas.ie/i-am-a-researcher/statistics//|title=Gaeloideachas- statistics}}</ref>

Two new second-level gaelscoileanna opened in Ireland in 2014: Coláiste Ghlór na Mara in [[Balbriggan]] and Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh in [[Rathfarnham]] (both in [[County Dublin]]). Gaelcholáiste Charraig Uí Leighin opened in [[Carrigaline]] and [[Northern Ireland]]'s second gaelcholáiste Gaelcholáiste Dhoire opened in [[Dungiven Castle]] in 2015. Gaelcholáiste Mhic Shuibhne opened in [[Knocknaheeney]] in 2019. Gaelcholáiste Mhaigh Nuad opened in [[Maynooth]] in September 2020.<ref name="GCMN.ie">{{Cite web|url=http://gcmn.ie/page/School-History-Stair-an-Cholaiste/68184/Index.html/|title=Gaelcholáiste Mhaigh Nuad- School History|access-date=25 October 2020|archive-date=21 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021094338/http://gcmn.ie/page/School-History-Stair-an-Cholaiste/68184/Index.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Gaelcholáistí are supported and represented on a practical day-to-day basis by [[Gaeloideachas]] (who also support Irish-medium schools in the Gaeltacht) and [[An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta & Gaelscolaíochta]] (whose name translates into English as "The Council for Gaeltacht and Gaelscoileanna Education") or COGG in the Republic of Ireland and by [[Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta]] in Northern Ireland.
