Toghchán ó thuaidh - Cé atá/nach bhfuil ag tacú le hÉilimh Phobal na Gaeilge?

Ceithre Pháirtí & Breis ‘s 70 iarrthóir Ag Tacú le hÉilimh Phobal na Gaeilge ó thuaidh

Eolas á sholáthar ag Conradh na Gaeilge don phobal maidir le seasamh na n-iarrthóirí toghcháin ó thuaidh ar chúrsaí Gaeilge trí #GaelVóta –

Am ag Iarrthóirí & Páirtithe Tacú Leo go Fóill

 

Tá gach páirtí polaitíochta agus iarrthóir toghcháin ó thuaidh a thug tacaíocht oifigiúil do trí mhóréileamh phobal na Gaeilge go dtí seo foilsithe ar shuíomh Chonradh na Gaeilge ar www.cnag.ie/gaelvota mar chuid den fheachtas #GaelVóta, ach tá am go fóill ag iarrthóirí agus ag páirtithe a dtacaíocht a thabhairt do na héilimh roimh an toghchán ó thuaidh Déardaoin 5 Bealtaine 2016. Is iad Sinn Féin, SDLP, Pobal Roimh Bhrabús agus ‘Cross-Community Labour Alternative’ na páirtithe a thacaigh go hoifigiúil leis na héilimh mar pháirtithe ina n-iomláine.

 

Dúirt Cóilín Ó Cearbhaill, Uachtarán Conradh na Gaeilge:

 

“Tá Conradh na Gaeilge ag iarraidh ar vótálaithe áitiúla – iad siúd atá ina gcainteoirí líofa Gaeilge, iad siúd atá ag foghlaim na teanga, nó go deimhin iad siúd a bhfuil bá de chineál ar bith acu don teanga – chun na héilimh seo a chur chun cinn leis na hiarrthóirí ar fad atá ag seasamh sna toghcheantair s’acu. Caithimis vóta ar son na Gaeilge. ”

 

Dúirt Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, Bainisteoir Abhcóideachta Chonradh na Gaeilge:

 

“Tá gach iarrthóir aonair a thacaíonn go hoifigiúil leis na héilimh luaite leis an bhfeachtas #GaelVóta freisin, agus is féidir le páirtí nó le hiarrthóir ar bith teagmháil a dhéanamh le Conradh na Gaeilge ag cearta@cnag.ie más mian leo tacú leis na héilimh, agus déanfar na hathruithe cuí ar www.cnag.ie/gaelvota.”

 

Trí mhóréileamh phobal na Gaeilge atá mar bhunús an fheachtais #GaelVóta, éilimh a eascraíonn as plean ionadaíochta agus bearta ionadaíochta arna aontú ag breis ‘s 80 grúpa pobail Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta:

 

1.       Go ndéanfaí infheistíocht £2.16 milliúin sa bhreis i bplean phobal na Gaeilge le borradh a chur faoi úsáid na Gaeilge agus le postanna nua a chruthú

2.       Go gceapfaí Aire Pobail a bheadh báúil don Ghaeilge agus a bheadh ábalta mianta phobal na Gaeilge a chur chun tosaigh

3.       Go gceapfaí Aire Oideachais a thacódh leis an Ghaeilge sa chóras oideachais agus a chinnteodh forbairt leanúnach d’earnáil na Gaelscolaíochta

 

D’oibrigh Conradh na Gaeilge i gcomhar le grúpaí pobail áitiúla ar fud na tíre chun fóraim ghnímh áitiúla a reáchtáil ar fud na sé chontae ó thuaidh go dtí seo mar chuid den fheachtas #GaelVóta, agus rinneadh teagmháil le gach iarrthóir maidir le héilimh phobal na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta ar a laghad faoi dhó de réir na sonraí teagmhála a cuireadh ar fáil go poiblí. Tá freagraí na n-iarrthóirí agus na bpáirtithe ar www.cnag.ie/gaelvota

Is é Conradh na Gaeilge fóram daonlathach phobal na Gaeilge, agus is í príomhaidhm an Chonartha an Ghaeilge a spreagadh mar ghnáth-theanga labhartha na hÉireann. Oibríonn an eagraíocht ar son na Gaeilge agus ar son gach duine a bhaineann leas as an teanga ar fud oileán na hÉireann agus ar fud an domhain. Tá nach mór 180 craobh ag Conradh na Gaeilge ag saothrú ar son na teanga, agus is féidir clárú mar bhall aonair den Chonradh freisin. Tá baill na heagraíochta gníomhach ag cur an Ghaeilge chun cinn i ngach gné de shaol na tíre – ó chúrsaí dlí agus oideachais, go forbairtí sna meáin agus seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge – ó bunaíodh Conradh na Gaeilge ar 31 Iúil 1893. Bíonn Conraitheoirí chun tosaigh i bhfeachtais chun cearta phobal na Gaeilge a bhaint amach agus a dhaingniú, agus bíonn baill na heagraíochta ag saothrú go dian díograiseach chun úsáid na teanga a chur chun cinn ina gceantair féin. Bíonn ranganna Gaeilge de chuid an Chonartha ar siúl i mBaile Átha Cliath, i nGaillimh, in Inis, ar an Iúr, i Luimneach, i Maigh Eo, i dTiobraid Árann, agus in áiteanna eile ar fud na hÉireann.

Assembly Elections 2016 - Who is/is not supporting the Irish Language?

 

Four Parties & over 70 candidates Support Commitments for Irish-Language in the north

Conradh na Gaeilge informs public about election candidates’ stance on Irish-language through #GaelVóta - Candidates & Parties Can Still Pledge Support

 

Information on every political party and each election candidate officially supporting the three main Irish-language commitments has been published on Conradh na Gaeilge’s website at www.cnag.ie/gaelvota as part of the #GaelVóta campaign, but candidates and parties still have time to pledge their support for the commitments before the #AE16 election in the north (5 May 2016). Sinn Féin, SDLP, People Before Profit and Cross-Community Labour Alternative officially pledged their support for the commitments as entire parties.

 

Cóilín Ó Cearbhaill, Uachtarán of Conradh na Gaeilge says:

 

“Conradh na Gaeilge is asking local voters – those that are fluent Irish speakers, those that are learning Irish, or indeed those that support the language in any way – to put these commitments to all the candidates standing for election in their own constituency.”

 

Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, Advocacy Manager, Conradh na Gaeilge says:

 

“Each individual candidate that officially supports the commitments has also been referenced in the #GaelVóta campaign, and any party or candidate can contact Conradh na Gaeilge at cearta@cnag.ie if they wish to pledge their support for the commitments, and the relevant changes will be made at www.cnag.ie/gaelvota.”

 

#GaelVóta is based on three main Irish-language commitments – stemming from an investment plan and representative measures agreed by over 80 Irish-language and Gaeltacht community groups – and the commitments are as follows:

 

  1. An additional investment of £2.6 million in an Irish-language plan to expand the use of Irish and to create new jobs
  2. A Minister for Communities that is supportive of the Irish language and able to promote the wishes of Irish speakers
  3. A Minister for Education who supports Irish in the education system and who ensures the continued development of the Irish-medium education sector

 

Conradh na Gaeilge worked with local community groups throughout the north to organise action forums across the north of Ireland as part of the #GaelVóta campaign, and all candidates were contacted on at least two occasions regarding the Irish-language and Gaeltacht commitments, as per the contact details that were publicly available. The responses of candidates and parties are available at www.cnag.ie/gaelvota

Irish-Language & Gaeltacht Commitments:

Over 80 Irish-language community and Gaeltacht groups, along with relevant authorities and their funding authorities, have agreed an all-island investment plan that could create over 1,160 jobs and provide a huge variety of opportunities for the public to use the Irish language, and the groups are calling on all political parties to include the specific commitments in their election manifestos: http://bit.ly/1JKDS6H

 

The community and all-island organisations are also looking for representative commitments to ensure that the investment plan is acted upon, including the appointment of Senior Ministers north and south to act on behalf of the Irish language and the Gaeltacht and to ensure that the plan is well managed and implemented in full: http://bit.ly/1PXrvUd

 

The 3 Main Commitments for the Irish language in the north are:

  1. An additional investment of £2.6 million in an Irish-language plan to expand the use of Irish and to create new jobs
  2. A Minister for Communities that is supportive of the Irish language and able to promote the wishes of Irish speakers
  3. A Minister for Education who supports Irish in the education system and who ensures the continued development of the Irish-medium education sector

 

Did you know?

·         According to the 2011 census, 10.6% of the population have some level of proficiency in the Irish language

·         More than 17,000 people have signed up to the Líofa project to learn Irish

·         54% of people in the north believe that services should be available through Irish for those who wish to use them (Céard é an Scéal? Conradh na Gaeilge, 2015)

·         Interest in Irish and the use of the language is continuously growing, especially amongst young people. For example, over 1 million people have recently listened to the famous celebrity Ed Sheeran singing in Irish.

·         There are more than 5,000 children currently in the Irish-medium education system, with thousands of others learning Irish as a second language in other schools

·         The investment plan proposed above will cater for this growing and developing community through:

o   Providing an comprehensive programme of usage and learning

o   Funding for Irish language centres in towns across the island

o   Providing Gaeltacht scholarships for young people and families

*N.B. The additional funding that is needed for the investment plan is €5 million less than the funding made available for the Irish language and the Gaeltacht in 2008

·         The investment plan and the additional political structures that we are looking for will help achieve the vision for the Irish language as envisaged by the rebellion generation and will properly commemorate 1916.

 

Further information on the commitments being sought by Conradh na Gaeilge and the Irish-language and Gaeltacht community is available by emailing cearta@cnag.ie or via the Twitter hashtag #GaelVóta.
