Five communities recognised for their promotion of Irish language

Five communities recognised for their promotion of Irish language

Sin é muidne. Don chéad uair riamh bronnadh stádas oifigiúil náisiúnta "Líonra na Gaeilge" ar chúig phobal taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht as a gcuid saothar ar son na Gaeilge ag ócáid bhronnta i bPáirc an Chrócaigh inniu (Feabhra 22). Ó chle tá Pádraigh Ó Tiarnaigh, (pobal Bhéal Feirste; An tAire Cultúir OIdhreachta agus Gaeltachta, Joe McHugh, a rinne na bronnta; Sara Nic Conmara, pobal Inis, Co an Chláir; Brian Ó Gaibhín, pobal Chluain Dolcáin, Baile Átha Cliath; Eoghan Mac Cormaic, pobal Bhaile Locha Riach, Co na Gaillimhe agus Joe O'Doherty, pobal Charn Tóchair, Co Dhoire.

That's us! For the first time ever five communities outside Gaeltacht areas became the first to receive offical national recognition as an Irish Language Network ("Líonra Gaeilge") for their work in promoting the language at a ceremony in Croke Park today. Pictured from left are: Pádraigh Ó Tiarnaigh, (on behalf of the Belfast community; Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Joe McHugh, who presented the awards; Sara Nic Conmara, Inis, Co Clare; Brian Ó Gaibhín, Clondalkin, Co Dublin; Eoghan Mac Cormaic, Loughrea, Co Galway and Joe O'Doherty, Carntogher, Co Derry.
