The Joe McDonnagh Foundation Launch

Eóin Lennon Posted On November 29, 2016

Aogán Ó Fearghaíl, President of the GAA will launch a new foundation in Croke Park this week to encourage and give recognition to the promotion of the Irish language in the Gaelic Athletic Association. Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha is a joint support scheme between Glór na nGael and the GAA itself for clubs wishing to promote the language.

The Foundation aims to help develop that promotion in a more measured and planned fashion. Glór na nGael will offer help to the Oifigeach Gaeilge to give them direction, support and ideas to build on the good work that has already been done within the club. Grants will be available from the Foundation to help realise plans and medals will be awarded to clubs for various levels of achievement in promotion of the language.

The Joe McDonagh medal will be presented to clubs registered with the Foundation for implementing a number of actions with regards the promotion of the language within the club. The medal will be a noted sign of achievement and recognition for continued work on behalf of the language.

As a club completes a recommended number of activities, bronze, silver and gold medals will be awarded as appropriate. The awarding of a gold medal will be a sign of prestige and esteem. The medal will serve as both motivation and recognition, providing a clear attainable goal for clubs wishing to facilitate a role for the language within their membership.

The foundation, Fóndúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Donncha will be launched in Croke Park at 7.30pm on Wednesday, 30 November 2016.

Further information on the Foundation is provided in this brochure.

Adjudication of Glór na nGael National Competition 2016

Eóin Lennon Posted On November 29, 2016

The Glór na nGael team were on the road during the month of November, conducting our annual adjudication for our competition for Irish language community development groups. We travelled from one end of the country to the other, from Donegal to Cork, meeting all the groups and finding out about their work during the year.

A large mixture of Gaeltacht committees, urban groups & rural committees took part again this year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every committee who took the time to meet with us, and for the warm welcome we received in every corner of the country. You all deserve the utmost credit for the trojan work that you are carrying out in promoting the Irish language within your own communities.

The committees that are through to the second stage of this year’s competition are as follows:
Comharchumann Mhic Dara, An Cheathrú Rua, Contae na Gaillimhe
Cumann Forbartha Chois Fharraige, Indreabhán, Contae na Gaillimhe
Comhlact Forbartha na nDéise, An Rinn, Dún Garbhán, Contae Phort Láirge
Glór Cheatharlach, Ceatharlach
Glór na Móna, Uachtar Chluanaí, Béal Feirste
Ionad Uíbh Eachach, Béal Feirste
Cumann Cultúrtha Mhic Reachtain, Bóthar Aontroma, Béal Feirste
Glór Charn Tóchair, Carn Tóchair, Contae Dhoire
Cairde Teo, Ard Mhacha

The overall winner of the national competition will be announced at our annual awards night, which will take place in April 2017.

Best of luck to all the committees who are in the running for the big prize, and keep up with the good work!

Féasta 100

Eóin Lennon Posted On October 24, 2016

Féasta 100 will take place in our capital city at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel, Upper Lesson Street, Dublin. The management and staff of the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel have enthusiastically welcomed Irish language training to provide service trí Ghaeilge on the night which will include menus and signage. Hosting 700 Irish speaking guests is a first for the Hotel and will undoubtedly have a positive impact upon the relevance of the Irish language in the service industry today.

Saturday, December 3rd 2016, the Irish language will be officially celebrated through Féasta 100, one of the main closing events of the 1916 commemorative year. No one can deny the power of the Irish language in the penmanship and communication of many of the prominent Easter Rising figures. This celebratory event offers the Irish people a unique opportunity to formally acknowledge the status of an Ghaeilge and celebrate her significance at the heart of Ireland’s historical and cultural landscape.

Launch of Co Galway bilingual Monopoly

Eóin Lennon Posted On October 12, 2016

Bilingual version of Monopoly follows success of fully Irish version

A second Irish language version of the internationally recognised board game Monopoly became available this week as a result of co-operation between Glór an nGael, Gaillimh le Gaeilge and the licence holders for localised versions of Monopoly, Winning Moves. Representatives of the companies owning spaces on the board attended a launch of the game in Kylemore Abbey, in the presence of the poloitical and business leaders in the county.

Irish speakers have been waiting many years for the production of an Irish language version of the game and now, withinga space of nine months, two editions are available, with the arraival of the County alway Monopoly Board. That the licence holders agreed to produce a bilingual version shows, of course, the vcentral role Irish has in the city and county.

The original and first Irish edition, published by Glór na nGael, is available on www.udar.ie along with a range of other Irish language games to suit all ages.
