😍😍😍 25,000 GAEL AG ÉILEAMH #CEARTA FRÍD CHATHAIR BHAILE ÁTHA CLIATH 😍😍😍
Tacaímid go hiomlán le feachtas IMEASC.
Ní théann duine as gach triúr daltaí gaelscoile sa stát ar aghaidh go dtí scoil dara leibhéal lán-Ghaeilge. Ní easpa éilimh an fhadhb.
Roinn do thacaíocht agus éiligh reachtaíocht don oideachas lán-Ghaeilge 📢

Níl aon shonraí oifigiúla ag @HSELive maidir le líon na foirne a bhfuil Gaeilge acu.
Cé gur rud maith é go bhfuil an FSS ag cur tús le próiseas chun líon na foirne a labhraíonn Gaeilge a mhéadú, ní mór gníomhú a gan a thuilleadh moille.
Is é 2030 an spriocdháta, ní an pointe tosaigh. Tá dul chun cinn intomhaiste ag teastáil anois.
Bainisteoir Cumarsáide le Conradh na Gaeilge @potiarnaigh ag caint maidir le comharthaíocht sráide ó thuaidh, líon na gcomharthaí atá á scrios agus an feachtas leanúnach chun an Ghaeilge a thabhairt chun cinn ar chomharthaíocht sráide de réir an dea-chleachtas idirnáisiúnta.
Tá imní ann faoin loitiméireacht leanúnach atá a dhéanamh ar chomharthaí Gaeilge i gceantracha áirithe sa tuaisceart agus ceist na comharthaí Gaeilge ina cheist chonspóideach i gcónaí.

"Dúirt Cuisle Nic Liam, Comhordaitheoir Chearta Teanga le Conradh na Gaeilge, gur próiseas athshlánaithe teanga é an tionscadal seo sa Cheathrú Ghaeltachta a thabharfadh go leor de na logainmneacha dúchasacha ar ais os comhair an phobail “ar chomharthaí buana”."

Conas is féidir an sprioc earcaíochta 20% a bhaint amach faoi dheireadh 2030 mura bhfuil @Publicjobsie tosaithe ag déanamh measúnú ar chumas Gaeilge formhór na n-iarrthóirí & spriocanna céimiúil leagtha síos le 20% a bhaint amach, 10% faoi 2028, 15% faoi 2029, srl?
Tá gá le gníomh intomhaiste ANOIS, agus ní fanacht go 2030.

"BELFAST City Council has approved £100,000 to increase dual-language street signage, in a motion backed by the DUP."
"At a full meeting of council on Monday, councillors agreed to provide the funds to support the erection of dual-language street signs in the newly expanded Gaeltacht Quarter of the city, in a move hailed as "significant progress" by Conradh na Gaeilge. Sinn Féin, the DUP and the SDLP all supported the motion."
"Conradh na Gaeilge is "delighted to see the scheme finally extended to include Bóthar Seoighe, Baile Andarsan and Bóthar an Ghleanna, approved by cross-party support in Council"."
“Bilingual signage is an internationally recognised measure to ensure increased visibility of the Irish language. That increased visibility leads to increased normalisation of the language and in turn increased tolerance to bilingualism in general."
"Considering over 90 per cent of our placenames come directly from Irish, this is a linguistic restorative language project that will see Irish returning to areas and streets where it was previously banned."

Torthaí dearfacha ón tuarascáil a d’fhoilsigh Oifig @ceartateanga inniu ag @oirnagaeilge 📊
Is léiriú iad na figiúirí seo ar an tionchar dearfach atá ag reachtaíocht níos láidre don Ghaeilge.
Molaimid Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga as an obair thábhachtach atá á déanamh acu chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar chur i bhfeidhm na reachtaíochta seo 👏
Bígí linn do Sheimineár an Oireachtais 2026 ag @OirnaGaeilge ag 11 agus beo ar ‘An tSeachtain’ le Máirín Ní Ghadhra @RTERnaG 📻
Tá éigeandáil ann sa chóras oideachais. 🚨
I 2025, ní dhearna ach 79% de dhaltaí an Teastais Shóisearaigh an scrúdú Gaeilge, i gcomparáid le 99% a rinne scrúdú Béarla.
Idir an dá linn, tá líon na ndaltaí iar-bhunscoile a bhfuil díolúine ón nGaeilge acu as smacht.
Tá an fhianaise ann. Tá an córas ag teip ar dhaltaí.
Tá muid ag éileamh ar an Aire Oideachais @1Hildegarde feidhmiú ar na moltaí atá leagtha amach cheana féin i dtaighde an Ollaimh Pádraig Ó Duibhir.

"Géarghá le réiteach buan, idir theicniúil agus cheadúnais, chun deireadh a chur le tionchar na teorann ar chraoltóireacht chláir Ghaeilge"
Léiríonn tuarascáil úrnua de chuid OFCOM, déanta ar son na Roinne Eacnamaíochta ó thuaidh, go maireann fadhbanna suntasacha geobhlocála ó thuaidh
Tá tuarascáil nua foilsithe ag OFCOM, an rialtóir neamhspleách reachtúil cumarsáide agus craolacháin de chuid na Breataine, maidir leis ceist na geobhlocála mar a bhaineann le craoladh clár de chuid RTÉ agus TG4 ó thuaidh. Is ceist fhadbhunaithe í ceist na geobhlocála ó thuaidh mar a bhaineann le cláir spóirt agus Gaeilge ó RTÉ agus TG4. Faoi láthair, agus le fada an lá, tá réimse leathan cláir Ghaeilge nach bhfuil teacht orthu ar ardáin éagsúla ó thuaidh, go háirithe ar shéinnteoirí ghléasanna digiteacha, ar nós Bluey (RTÉ), Spongebob agus Dora (TG4/Cúla4), mar shampla, mar aon le cláir bheo spóirt ar nós GAA BEO, i measc imeachtaí móra idirnáisiúnta eile.
Tugtar le fios sa tuarascáil nua, a rinneadh ar son na Roinne Eacnamaíochta ó thuaidh, go bhfuil dhá phríomh-chúis leis an gheobhlocáil a dhéantar ar chláir RTÉ agus TG4 ó thuaidh; 1) ceadúnas tráchtála an chláir (nó an imeachta) faoi chaibidil; agus 2) seoladh IP an lucht féachana. Is féidir teacht ar an tuarascáil de chuid OFCOM anseo: economy-ni.gov.uk/publicatio…
Dúirt Bainisteoir Cumarsáide Chonradh na Gaeilge, Dr Pádraig Ó Tiarnaigh:
“Is ábhar mór frustrachais do Ghaeil atá lonnaithe ó thuaidh an cosc a chuirtear orainn teacht ar ábhar trí Ghaeilge a chraoltar ar RTÉ agus TG4. Más suim leat an spórt, bíonn neart imeachtaí móra ann nach mbíonn rochtain againn orthu, agus is údar mór díomá é sin, go háirithe nuair a bhíonn foirne nó iomaitheoirí ó na sé chontae páirteach ann. Mar thuismitheoirí atá ag tógáil clainne trí Ghaeilge, ní bhíonn mórán rogha cláir aitheanta trí Ghaeilge a chur ar fáil dár bpáistí. Tá rogha níos lú arís againn nuair nach bhfuil teacht againn ar chuid de na cláir is mó le rá. Aithníonn muid go ndéanann TG4 ceadúnais a cheannach ar bhonn 32 contae, ach fiú sa chás sin, bíonn cosc orainn ar neart gléasanna. An toradh air sin ná go dtiontaíonn ár ndaoine óga i dtreo an Bhéarla. Cén fáth an gcuirfeadh fiú an Gael is díograisí am amú ag iarraidh theacht ar bhealach éigin chun Bluey a shrúthú nuair is féidir teacht air gan srian trí Bhéarla ar an BBC? Cuireann muid i gcuimhne don dá Rialtas, ar chomhshínitheoirí iad ar Chomhaontú Aoine an Chéasta, go bhfuil coimitmint shonrach sa Chomhaontú sin go ndéanfaidh siad ‘gníomh diongbháilte’ rochtain TG4 a fheabhsú sna 6 chontae mar a bhaineann sé le craoltóireacht na Gaeilge. Tá ag teip orthu sin a dhéanamh faoi láthair.”
“Cuireann muid fáilte roimh an tuarascáil úr seo de chuid OFCOM atá iarrtha ag an Aire Eacnamaíochta agus aithníonn muid cuid de na dúshláin, idir théicniúil agus cheadúnais, a bhaineann leis an cheist seo. Ach tá réiteach buan anois de dhíth orainn. Tá an geo-bhlocáil, bíodh sé fríd an IP nó fríd an cheadúnas, ag dul i bhfeidhm ar Ghaeil sna 6 chontae agus tá an cosc sin ag déanamh damáiste don líon uaireanta Gaeilge atá siad ag amharc air gach lá. Fáiltíonn muid roimh na moltaí sa tuarascáil go ndéanfaidh an dá Rialtas athbhreithniú ar an mheamram tuisceana atá eatarthu ar an cheist seo. Tá Conradh na Gaeilge ag plé na gceisteanna seo le TG4 faoi láthair agus muid ag iarraidh theacht ar reiteach a thugann rochtain chothrom do Ghaeil sna 6 chontae ar iomlán cláracha an staisiúin gan srian.”
An tseachtain seo caite, 20 Deireadh Fómhair 2026, ritheadh rún sa Tionól ó thuaidh ag iarraidh ar Rialtas na Breataine agus ar Rialtas na hÉireann theacht ar réiteach buan chun deireadh a chur leis an gheobhlocáil ó thuaidh. (Tuilleadh eolais: data.niassembly.gov.uk/Hansa… - lgh 55-63).

News Release @CnaG
"Permanent solution to ‘geoblocking’ required as Irish language content ‘restricted’ north of the border"
New report from OFCOM, at the request of the Minister for the Economy, confirms significant ‘geo-blocking’ problems persists into digital era
A new report published by OFCOM, the independent British statutory broadcasting regulator, has highlighted the ongoing problems associated with ‘geoblocking’ programmes broadcast by RTÉ and TG4 in the north. This has been a long-standing issue where sporting broadcasts and Irish language content have been blocked or restricted across various platforms on both RTÉ and TG4 based on both digital and licensing considerations.
There are numerous Irish language programmes restricted for viewers in the north, be that when live streaming RTÉ or TG4, or accessing the ‘players’ online for on-demand services, such as Bluey (RTÉ), Spongebob and Dora (TG4/Cúla4), as well as Irish language sporting content, GAA Beo, for example, amongst other live sporting broadcasts and highlight programmes.
Communications Manager with Conradh na Gaeilge, Dr Pádraig Ó Tiarnaigh, commented:
“Gaels in the north are rightly frustrated and angry when Irish language and sporting programmes are blocked or restricted on this side of the border. If you follow sport, you will know there are numerous live broadcasts and highlights programmes that we cannot access across devices, on some occasions, when teams and competitors themselves are from this part of Ireland. As parents raising our children through the medium of Irish, we already have very limited access to globally recognised content for young people through Irish. We have even less access when some of those shows that have been translated into Irish are then restricted or blocked. We recognise that TG4 make provision for an all-Ireland, 32 county license for much of their material. Unfortunately, even then, due to IP restrictions and non-UK licenses, many of those programmes continue to be restricted on various platforms and devices. The inevitable result is that people engage less with Irish language content and turn to English-language streaming services due to ease of access and range of unrestricted programmes available. Why would even the most dedicated Irish-speaker spend their time trying to find a solution or work-around to access Bluey in Irish when they can get it immediately through English on BBC iPlayer? We must remind both the Irish and the British Governments that they are co-guarantors of the Good Friday Agreement and in that agreement they have jointly promised to ‘take resolute action’ to promote Irish, specifically to “explore urgently with the relevant British authorities, and in co-operation with the Irish broadcasting authorities, the scope for achieving more widespread availability of Teilifis na Gaeilige [TG4]” in the north. In that regard, they are failing to uphold the Good Friday Agreement.”
“We welcome this timely report by OFCOM, as requested by the Economy Minister’, as we continue to seek a resolution to this longstanding broadcasting issue. We recognise the competing issues raised, between technical IP issues, to commercial licensing problems. But the effect of those issues combined is that Irish speakers in the north are left with a lesser service than our counterparts south of the border. Geo-blocking, non-Irish IP addresses, and non-UK licensing, means Irish speakers and families in the north are watching less daily Irish language content. That is damaging to the ongoing revival of Irish here. We welcome the recommendations in the OFCOM report that both Governments review the 2010 Memorandum of Understanding on digital television services to assess whether it remains fit for purpose as viewing habits evolve. Conradh na Gaeilge is currently engaging and discussing these issues with TG4 and we look forward to finding a permanent solution that will give northern Gaels equal access to the full library of content on TG4, Cúla4 and RTÉ with any restriction or limitation.”
