Galway City Council Unveils Initiative to Showpiece the City’s “Invisible” Urban Gaeltacht Townlands

Sheol Coiste Beartais Straitéisigh Gaeilge (SPC) Chomhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe, i gcomhar le páirtithe leasmhara áitiúla, tionscnamh suntasach chun ceantair Ghaeltachta uirbeacha stairiúla na cathrach a aithint, a mhapáil agus a cheiliúradh. Cuireadh comharthaí ‘An Ghaeltacht’ in airde ag teorainneacha ocht mbaile fearainn Gaeltachta laistigh de theorainneacha Chathair na Gaillimhe - ag díriú aird ar cheantair Ghaeltachta ina n-aithníonn an rialtas an Ghaeilge go hoifigiúil mar phríomhtheanga labhartha. The Irish Language Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) of Galway City Council, in collaboration with local community stakeholders, launched a landmark initiative to identify, map and celebrate the city’s historic urban Gaeltacht areas. ‘An Ghaeltacht’ signs have been installed at the boundaries of eight Gaeltacht townlands within Galway City boundaries – highlighting Irish-speaking regions where the government officially recognises Gaeilge as the primary vernacular language.
