Gweedore (official name: Gaoth Dobhair) is an Irish-speaking district located on the Atlantic coast of County Donegal, Ireland. Gweedore is also the home of the northwest regional studios of the Irish language radio service Raidió na Gaeltachta. Gweedore is officially the largest Irish-speaking parish in Ireland with a population of around 4,065.

MUSIC BY:
Clannad - Níl Sé'n Lá

Tá Gaoth Dobhair suite sa choirnéal thiar thuaidh de Thír Chonaill, An Fharraige Mhór ar dhá thaobh de, na Rosa agus Cloich Cheannfhaolaidh ar an dá thaobh eile. Paróiste de chuid na hEaglaise Caitlicí atá ann ón bhliain 1836. Go dtí sin ba chuid de sheanpharóiste, nó paróiste shibhialta Thulcha Beaglaoigh é agus ar feadh i bhfad ba é Tulcha Beaglaoigh Thiar an t-ainm oifigiúil a bhí ag an Eaglais ar an pharóiste úr. Is i mbarúntacht Chill Mhic Néanáin atá paróiste Thulcha Beaglaoigh suite; mar sin de is le ceantar na dTuath, nó Tír Luighdheach, a bhaineann Gaoth Dobhair ó thaobh na staire de. Cé nár aithin an stát na paróistí caitliceacha go dlíthiúil mar aonaid riaracháin iontu féin ariamh comhraítear Gweedore mar Cheantar Íoclainne agus mar Cheantar Cláraitheora in eagrán 1901 den Townland Index of Ireland, an chéad aitheantas dlíthiúil a tugadh do ainm nó do limistéar na paróiste is cosúil.
