During the Commemoration of the Rising many people in Carlow must have remembered a lady whose courage has never been duly appreciated. Her drapery shop, in the centre of Dublin St., was to many of us, children at the time, the bulwark of Republican sentiment. There we bought the little celluloid badges of the Tricolour. In the years of struggle that followed, the badges were inset with pictures of the leaders. It may seem a small thing now to have displayed publicly a whole range of national emblems. But in the context of the times it was bravery and patriotism of a very high order. Thus, in this Jubilee Year, we salute a gracious and great·hearted lady who fanned the Phoenix Flame, and whom we remember with affection and gratitude.

Each area was given two years to prepare a Language Plan and the plan is to be implemented over a period of seven years. After some dicussion it was decided to form a body called Fóram Chois Fharraige um Phleanáil Teanga (Cois Fharraige Language Planning Forum). This body is representative of many voluntary community-based organisations operating in the five school areas of Na Forbacha, An Spidéal, An Cnoc, An Tulach and Ros a’ Mhíl. Údarás na Gaeltachta awarded the contract for the preparation of a language plan to the Forum, a contract was signed and funding was provided to prepare a plan. Work commenced in 2014. The challenges posed to the use of Irish as our community language vary greatly from area to area with the use of Irish weaker to the east of the Language Planning Area and stronger in the west. The use of Irish was mapped in a recent (2007 and updated in 2015) comprehensive sociolinguistic survey. The survey reports on the use of Irish in the five electoral divisions, which roughly reflect the five school areas. The three divisions west of An Spidéal are Category A (relatively strong Gaeltacht areas); An Spidéal is Category B (the use of Irish as a community language is under threat); and Na Forbacha is Category C (English is predominantly, but not solely, the language of the community).
