    PHOTO REDACTED DUE TO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR OTHER LEGAL ISSUES Review of IRISH-MEDIUM EDUCATION REPORT ReviewReview ofof Irish-mediumIrish-medium EducationEducation ReportReport PHOTO REDACTED DUE TO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR OTHER LEGAL ISSUES Ministerial Foreword PHOTO REDACTED DUE TO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR OTHER LEGAL ISSUES I want to welcome this Review from the Irish-medium Review Board, and acknowledge the on-going work of the Irish-medium sector in the north of Ireland. The Irish Language sector is a bold, dynamic and thriving one; the Irish Education sector is a key component of that sector. In terms of the consultation, it must share that same vision, that same dynamism. All stakeholders, enthusiasts and educationalists from across Ireland have a key role to play in this consultation and I encourage them to contribute to the Review. The Irish language is an integral component of our rich and shared heritage; as a sector it is thriving, educationally, socially and economically. More than ever students passing through the Irish Education sector have the opportunity to continue their education, set up home and choose a career all through the medium of Irish. Organisations across the Island, such as TG4, Ráidió Fáilte, and Forbairt Feirste are thriving and offering very real opportunities for growth and employment to students within the Irish-medium sector. The public sector, and other bodies such as Foras na Gaeilge and the GAA, work in many areas to develop employment and participation opportunities for increasing numbers of people. i Review of Irish-medium Education Report Gaelscoileanna are producing confi dent, capable, productive, dynamic and bi-lingual students every year and this is a wonderful contribution to our society.

  • Language Planning and Socio-Economic Development In
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Language Planning and Socio-Economic Development in Ireland: Towards an Integrated Framework? M by John Walsh Dublin City University [email protected] I DELIVERED AT THE CONFERENCE Debating Language Policies in Canada and Europe University of Ottawa Ottawa (Ontario) Canada 31 March - 2 April 2005 DRAFT/NOT FOR CITATION I Introduction The threat posed to linguistic diversity by the global economic order is well document- ed, with large numbers of languages expected to become moribund or extinct within decades (see, for example, Fishman 1991 & 2001; Crystal, 2000; May, 2001; McCloskey, 2001; Skutnabb-Kangas & Phillipson, 1995; Phillipson, 2003). Powerful and dominant global forces which engage in ‘the denunciation of ethnicity’ (May, 2001: 19-51), have frequently employed a form of economic Darwinism in order to justify the marginalisa- tion or extermination of threatened languages or to oppose multilingualism generally. Mutual distrust and antagonism has been commonplace between proponents of minori- ty languages and those pursuing economic development models based on growth and prosperity (Grin, 2003: 213). This paper is based on an alternative approach which posits that all languages, regardless of their status or numerical size, can be integrated into processes of socio-economic development, and that none is inherently anti-development. Such integration, however, presupposes a radically altered concept of development which prioritises social and cultural elements, such as participation, education, equality, elimi- nation of poverty and cultural security over economic indices such as growth rates, employment creation or levels of consumption. The integration of language planning measures for threatened languages with policies on socio-economic development has the potential both to consolidate the position of such languages, by integrating them into INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE broader society, and to broaden the concept of development itself, by introducing factors other than the economic.

    Ag tacú le ‘nuachainteoirí’: Ag tógáil Líonraí agus Pobal Gaeilge taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht Supporting ‘new speakers’: Building Irish Language Networks and Communities outside the Gaeltacht Cruinniú geallsealbhóirí /Stakeholders’ meeting Dé hAoine 14 Deireadh Fómhair 2016/Friday 14th October 2016 Coláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath/Trinity College, Dublin Bhí sé mar aidhm ag an gcruinniú seo deis plé a thabhairt do ghrúpaí atá ag cur na Gaeilge chun cinn lasmuigh den Ghaeltacht agus a oibríonn den chuid is mó le ‘nuachainteoirí’ na teanga, daoine a úsáideann an Ghaeilge go rialta ach nár tógadh le Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht. Chuige sin thugamar cuireadh do Líonraí Gaeilge agus do ghrúpaí eile ar spéis leo cur isteach ar stádas mar Bhaile Seirbhíse Gaeltachta teacht le chéile chun na dúshláin agus na deiseanna a bhaineann leis an tionscnamh sin a aithint. Bhí ionadaithe ó Fhoras na Gaeilge agus Údarás na Gaeltachta i láthair chun cúlra na Líonraí/na mBailte Seirbhíse a phlé agus taithí na pleanála teanga sa Ghaeltacht a roinnt. Labhair ionadaithe ó Ghlór na nGael agus ón Droichead i mBéal Feirste leis an gcruinniú chomh maith agus rinne an tOll. Colin Williams ó Ollscoil Cardiff cur i láthair faoi thaithí na Breataine Bige. This meeting aimed to provide an opportunity for discussion to groups that are promoting Irish outside the Gaeltacht and that work for the most part with ‘new speakers’ of Irish, people who speak Irish regularly but were not raised with Irish in the Gaeltacht. To that end we invited representative of Irish Language Networks and groups interested in applying for status as Gaeltacht Service Towns to meet and identify and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with this initiative.

Is tráthúil, mar sin, oidhreacht Ghaelach Bhéal Feirste a fhógairt agus a cheiliúradh go neamhbhalbh nó ní féidir stair na cathrach seo cois cuain a aithris go beacht gan stair na Gaeilge a lua. Tá pearsana agus imeachtaí na staire greanta in ainmneacha Gaeilge na mbailte fearainn, agus tá lorg na Gaeilge ar chanúint Bhéarla na cathrach. Le corradh le dhá chéad bhliain tá an teanga Ghaeilge á hathshealbhú agus á hathbheochan agus is i mBéal Feirste a rinneadh an chéad irisleabhar Gaeilge, Bolg an tSolair, sa bhliain 1795. Bhí macasamhail Robert MacAdam (1808-95), an tionsclaí Preispitéireach, chomh tiomanta céanna don athbheochan chultúrtha agus a bhí sé do shaothrú na tionsclaíochta. Ar a gcostas féin a bhunaigh an chosmhuintir Cumann Chluain Ard i mblianta ocracha na 1930í agus ba é an toradh a bhí ar an obair cheannródaíoch sin gur gineadh an iliomad tionscnamh ina diaidh: Gaeltacht Bhóthar Seoigh, gaelscoileanna, Cultúrlann MacAdam- Ó Fiaich, an Cheathrú Gaeltachta agus go leor eile. Is mithid an stair shaibhir sin a insint. At the present time, the history and international image of Belfast are being reimagined and reworked so that the city can be presented to the markets of the world.

  • Funding and Governance Arrangements for the Irish Language Voluntary Sector: Recent Developments and Background Information
    Research and Library Service Briefing Paper Paper 187/10 19 November 2010 NIAR 592-10 Dr Dan Hull Funding and Governance Arrangements for the Irish Language Voluntary Sector: Recent Developments and Background Information 1 Background: the Irish language voluntary sector The Irish language voluntary sector consists of a large number of groups, covering both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Some groups have a local remit, while others are national in their coverage. Foras na Gaeilge, the Irish language agency, requires all groups seeking funding to register with them, and their directory of groups contains 113 entries, though not all of these are voluntary groups1. The groups listed cover a variety of issues and activities from community groups to drama, heritage, software and internet specialists, sports, after school clubs and summer camps. Foras na Gaeilge provides funding to projects and bodies through 20 different funding streams under four broad categories including education, community and business, the public sector and the arts, communications and marketing, and writing and publishing. 1 Foras na Gaeilge. ‘Directory: Irish language organisations and groups’: http://gaeilge.ie/Directory/org_groups.asp Accessed 19.11.10. Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 592-10 Irish Language Voluntary Sector One of the categories of funding is ‘core-funding’. There are 19 bodies which currently receive core-funding from Foras na Gaeilge, seven of which are based in Northern Ireland. The 19 bodies together receive around €8million per annum2. Eight bodies are named in legislation in the Republic of Ireland3, so further legislation would have to be introduced to the Dáil for funding to be removed from these bodies.

We are honored to have more than 160 participants from throughout Northern Ireland-the region's finest performers, artists, craftspeople, cooks, athletic coaches, and occupational experts-join us on the National Mall to explain, demonstrate, and celebrate contemporary life in their beautiful, dynamic homeland. This Festival program may come as a surprise to some of our visitors. Like so much else about contemporary Northern Ireland, day-to-day reality transcends assumptions and challenges stereotypes. Northern Ireland is changing rapidly: today, it is a sophisticated, forward-looking society with a booming post-industrial economy and a renewed sense of confidence in the future. Traditional culture, which in the past sometimes divided communities, now contributes to a shared future and fosters inter-community relationships. Northern Ireland's greatest strengths have always national attention it deserves . We hope that the 2007 been the warmth, hospitality, and humor of its people.

In June, Mr Scott of the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) gave evidence to this Committee in which he said that he would be disappointed if the sector was dissatisfied with the consultation process relating to the reorganisation of the Irish-language sector, led by Foras na Gaeilge.

  • Language Attitudes in Old and New Gaeltacht Communities
    Language Attitudes in Old and New Gaeltacht Communities RACHELE ANTONINI Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Newcastle University October 2012 i Abstract This study aims to provide a description and analysis of Irish language use and attitudes towards it in three geographically and ideologically distinctive communities in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, by examining four separate, but related, issues: (i) Attitudes towards Irish in three contrasting Gaeltacht regions (an urban, ‘revival’ area in Northern Ireland and two rural, ‘survival’ Gaeltachtaí in the Republic of Ireland); (ii) The level of Irish-English bilingualism in these regions amongst cohorts of males and females of various ages and from divergent socio-economic backgrounds; (iii) The influence which positive or negative attitudes towards Irish exert on language choice; (iv) Whether psycho-perceptual factors like attitudes are as salient to the process of declining Irish-English bilingualism as socio-economic ones such as social class or personal network ties. Data relating to language use and attitudes were collected in the three study areas by using different methodologies, including the administration of a questionnaire (in two versions: English and Irish) as well as semi-structured interviews. The data collected thus were analysed and compared in order to determine the extent to which different attitudes towards the Irish language existed in these communities that are also distinctive in other ways. Another important objective was to try and identify the factors that influence and shape such differences. In this regard, particular attention was paid to: (i) state intervention (in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) with respect to particular types of support for Irish as well as successful and unsuccessful language policies operating within these two states; (ii) language use in the community and home domains and (iii) Irish in the media.
