Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that my Department, together with Údarás na Gaeltachta, administers a wide range of schemes, programmes and initiatives under the 20-Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010-2030, targeting language and economic development in Gaeltacht areas. Details in respect of these schemes are available/promoted on the websites of both the Department www.chg.gov.ie and Údarás na Gaeltachta www.udaras.ie.
Both organisations also distribute both informational and promotional material at various national events during the year including Oireachtas na Samhna and The National Ploughing Championships. My Department and An tÚdarás also create awareness of the various schemes through regular use of social media and through the media announcements of grants under these various schemes which have been approved by me.
