A campaign amongst the Irish language community has been initiated to
generate interest in the concept of the foundation of new Irish
speaking settlements.
The aim of the newly established language group BAILE is to secure a
bright future for the Irish Language by establishing new settlements
in which Irish is the primary community language.
BAILE, comprised of Irish speakers from all over Ireland, has begun a
national campaign to inform Irish speakers - as well as all other
interested parties - of this pioneering concept and financial support
has been obtained from the cross-border language body Foras na Gaeilge
to conduct a feasibility study into the establishment of new
Irish-speaking communities.
BAILE believe that the future of the language cannot be secured
without new communities in which Irish is used as the primary means of
communication.
As part of BAILE's research process, a number of focus groups will be
held in Dublin, Belfast and Dundalk later in the summer and a
questionnaire is also available online at www.bailegaelach.com
BAILE ask all those interested in the project to contact them by email
on eolas@bailegaelach. com or by phone on (+353) 872303289.
