€602,000 support pledged to GRADAIM
Frainc Cionnaith Posted On November 24, 2022


Glór na n’Gael is pleased to announce that the Minister of State in the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media, Jack Chambers T.D., has approved a grant of €602,000 over a period of three years, to develop GRADAIM Gnó na hÉireann.

Glór na n’Gael’s Bainisteoir Gnó agus Fiontraíochta, Frainc Mac Cionnaith, said that this support ensures the future of the scheme. “We are delighted with this news” said Mac Cionnaith. “Taoiseach Mícheál Martin launched the scheme in November 2021. We will now be able to recruit more staff and develop the scheme to administer and provide a service to up to 200 businesses per year.”

GRADAIM is a recognition scheme for businesses that are using Irish as part of their business, or are providing a service through Irish to their customers. Awards were presented to 85 businesses at a major event in the City Hall in Dublin last week for fostering the use of the Irish language in three major areas; Signage, Branding and Marketing and Irish Language Service for Customers & Clients.

The GRADAIM award illustrates to the public that a business respects Irish and its speakers. It also informs the Irish-speaking community that they can expect a certain level of service in our own language.

Registration for businesses wishing to participate in the scheme will reopen early in the new year.

‘The purpose of this fund is to reduce or eliminate operating deficits that occurred during the 2021/22 financial year, as a result of the Covid pandemic. Glór na nGael is delighted to be distributing funding to community groups in the Irish language sector who are suffering financially as a result of the pandemic.

Glór na nGael, and the Irish language sector as a whole, recognizes the pioneering work of Irish language community groups since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Glór na nGael hopes that this scheme will assist these Irish language community groups in rebuilding for the future with the aim of returning to a full program of services and activities.

The funding of this fund has been provided by Executive and Community Minister Deirdre Hargey MLA to support organisations that were negatively affected by the pandemic in the financial year from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.

Caitríona Nic Seoin, Community Development Manager, commented ‘We hope this fund will help the voluntary Irish language sector, who, despite all the challenges of the pandemic, have continued to serve their respective communities in every way they can.  This scheme should help with the inevitable financial challenges the pandemic has brought over the past year.”
