Language plan underway in The Rosses
July 12, 2016
Gaeltacht groups in The Rosses have been invited to begin planning the development of the Irish language in the area.
Sean Kyne, Junior Gaeltacht Minister, has asked the groups to consider their plans for the language as they are essential to the Gaeltacht status of The Rosses area.
The groups have two months to submit their expressions of interest, with the successful organisation working with Udaras na Gaeltachta to prepare a language plan.
From there, they will then have 7 years to implement the plans, with regular reviews of the plan’s preparation and performance being undertaken. The process is already underway in other Gaeltacht areas in Donegal, such as Gaoth Dobhair and Cloughaneely.
Udaras na Gaeltachta Board Member, John Curran, says this is an important initiative for The Rosses.
“Securing the future”
“This is about securing the future of the Irish language within The Rosses area and about looking at the baseline that’s there and supporting the community in The Rosses to achieve that in the future,” he said.
Dungloe is one of the largest Gaeltacht towns in Donegal and as other language planning areas are ahead of them in the process, Curran says that it is important for The Rosses to learn from their fellow Gaeltacht communities and implement the process smoothly over the coming months.
“Udaras na Gaeltachta has organised a number of events that takes all the language planning areas together so that they can share info and learn from each other and see the work going forward. It is important that the areas are learning and that this learning is shared within the community,” he said.

Letterkenny to receive €20k in funding for Irish language and Gaeltacht services
July 12, 2016
Letterkenny is set to receive €20,000 in funding for Irish Language Network and Gaeltacht services.
Donegal TD, Joe McHugh (FG), said, “I welcome the announcement from the Minister of State for Gaeltacht Affairs and Natural Resources, Seán Kyne T.D. that he has approved funding of €85,000 for Foras na Gaeilge to commence the language process for the recognition of Irish Language Networks and Gaeltacht Service Towns under the Gaeltacht Act 2012, including up to €20,000 being made available for Letterkenny.
“I had the pleasure of announcing Letterkenny among the list of towns to be recognised as Gaeltacht Service Towns while serving as Minster for the Gaeltacht. This was a massive step forward in the language planning process as it relates to language communities outside the Gaeltacht being given statutory recognition as Gaeltacht Service Towns, and is an important step in achieving the objectives of the 20 Year Strategy for the Irish Language.
“I wish to commend all of the stakeholders on their work to date and I hope they will continue working together in these towns to prepare and implement a language plan.”
