Language preservation in Donegal ‘Céim Aniar’ Company name Céim Aniar Teo Location Ros Goill, Co. Donegal Grant Feasibility Study Grant, Assistant Manager Grant and Administration grant Dates On-going since 2001 Project At the turn of this century, language activists and a number of parents in Ros Goill in Co Donegal noticed a distressing decline in Irish spoken on the peninsula. Ros Gill is a small Gaeltacht area but for a variety of reasons – emigration, couples from various language backgrounds settling in the area, the marginal role of the Irish language in the education system in addition to pressure from the English speaking community – Irish was not being transmitted from the older to the younger generations. A number of community members were concerned about the erosion and decline of the language in their community and to combat this, they formed a group called Céim Aniar Teo to reverse the decline in Ros Gill. They obtained a grant from Údarás to carry out a survey, which indicated a decline in the spoken language in the home and community, but a corresponding rise in interest in its preservation. On the basis of this survey, Údarás provided funds for a part-time development officer, appointed January 2002. Three people are currently employed by Céim Aniar Teo for the implementation of it’s work programme in it’s operational areas and it co-ordinates and organizes most of the activities related to the enhancement, preservation and transmission of the Irish language in Ros Gill. These include a naíonra, TEG (graded accredited Irish classes), Irish classes, after-school activities, drama classes, cultural nights, quizzes, and the publication of Guth Ghoill, a monthly newsletter. Údarás offers support to all such activities. Céim Aniar Teo has established a link with a number of other language groups within and outside the Gaeltacht and is active in a wide range of Irish cultural and social activities. Results The results of this Údarás-funded community initiative have been excellent. Says Fiona Pasoma, Céim Aniar Teo Manager: “Irish is much more audible and visible throughout the area now. There are signs in Irish in shops and restaurants – we went in and asked for them to be put up. Young people are also much more confident about speaking Irish.” In 2005 for the first time, Ros Goill children entered the Oireachtas competitions where they not only thoroughly enjoyed themselves but took away two prizes in the storytelling category. The number of children applying for the Irish Speaking Scheme has increased significantly over the past five years and also the number of children in receipt of the grant.” Perspective Céim Aniar Teo established Naíonra Dhiarmada & Gráinne which is funded by Comhar Naíonraí na Gaeltachta Teo. Céim Aniar Teo understands the importance of transmitting Irish to young children and of providing cultural activities to make language acquisition opportunities available, including verse-speaking competitions. Irish is now a dynamic progressive language which may be enjoyed. Céim Aniar is widely seen as one of the most successful projects aimed at reversing language decline in the Gaeltacht.

Caomhnú teanga i nDún na nGall Ainm an Chomhlachta Coiste Céim Aniar, ‘A Step Ahead’. Suíomh Ros Goill, Co. Dhún na nGall. Deontas Deontas féidearthachta, deontas fostaíochta, deontas riaracháin. Dátaí Tacaíocht leanúnach ó 2001. Tionscadal Ag tús an chéid seo thug gníomhaithe teanga agus roinnt tuismitheoirí i leithinis Ros Goill faoi deara go raibh meath tubáisteach ag teacht ar usáid na Gaeilge ina gceantar. Is ceantar beag Gaeltachta atá i Ros Goill agus mar gheall ar roinnt cúiseanna ina measc ráta ard imirce, lánúineacha ó chúlraí éagsúla teanga ag cur futhu sa cheantar, ról imeallaithe na Gaeilge sa chóras oideachais chomh maith le brú ó phobal mhórtheanga an Bhéarla ní raibh seachadadh na Gaeilge mar mháthair theanga ó ghlúin go glúin ag tarlú sa phobal mar a bhíodh. Bhí roinnt daoine sa phobal an-imníoch faoi chreimeadh agus meath na teanga ina bpobal agus le dul i ngleic leis an réaltacht seo thionól siad cruinniú poiblí sna Dúnaibh agus as seo bunaíodh Céim Aniar Teo. le tabhairt faoi aisiompú an aistrithe teanga i Ros Goill. Cheadaigh an tÚdarás deontas dóibh le tabhairt faoi shuirbhé teanga ina bpobal. Léirigh torthaí an tsuirbhé go raibh meath ag teacht i labhairt na teanga sa bhaile agus sa phobal ach fosta go raibh spéis ag tromlach an phobail an teanga a chaomhnú. Ag eascairt as an tátál seo cheadaigh an tÚdarás deontas le hoifigeach teanga páirtaimseartha a fhostú agus chuaigh an duine seo i mbun oibre in Eanáir 2002. Faoi láthair tá triúr fostaithe ag Céim Aniar Teo. lena gclár oibre a chur i bhfeidhm ina gceantar feidhme agus déanann siad tromlach na n-imeachtaí a bhaineann le neartú, caomhnú agus normalú na Gaeilge i Ros Goill a chomhordú agus a reáchtáil. I measc na bhforbairtí theangabhunaithe seo tá naíonra, TEG(cúrsaí grádaithe creidiúnaithe Gaeilge), cúrsaí trí Ghaeilge, imeachtaí i ndiaidh am scoile don óige, cúrsaí drámaíochta, oícheanta cultúrtha, tráth na gceist agus foilsiú Guth Ghoill, nuachtlitir mhíosúil. Cuireannn an tÚdarás tacaíocht ar fáil do na himeachtaí seo ar fad. Tá ceangal bunaithe ag Céim Aniar Teo. le mórán grúpaí theangalárnaithe eile sa Ghaeltacht agus lasmuigh de agus bíonn siad an-ghníomhach in imeachtaí cultúrtha agus sóisialta pobal leitheadach na Gaeilge. Torthaí Fiona Pasoma, Bainisteoir Teanga Chéim Aniar: “Tá an Ghaeilge le cloisteáil agus le feiceáil ar fud na háite i bhfad níos minice anois. Tá fógraí Gaeilge i siopaí agus i mbialanna – bhuail muid isteach agus mhol muid do na húinéirí na fógraí seo a chur suas. Lena chois sin tá daoine óga i bhfad níos muiníne Gaeilge a labhairt anois. Sa bhliain 2005 chuir páistí as Ros Goill isteach ar chomórtais an Oireachtais don chéad uair riamh. Ní amháin gur bhain siad sult as an ócáid ach d’éirigh leo dhá dhuais a thabhairt leo sa scéalaíocht. Tháinig ardú suntasach le cúig bliana ar líon na bpáistí atá ag cur isteach ar Scéim Labhairt na Gaeilge agus fosta sa líon a thuileann an deontas” Ionchas Bhunaigh Céim Aniar Teo. Naíonra Dhiarmada & Gráinne atá maoinithe ag Comhar Naíonraí na Gaeltachta Teo. Tuigeann Céim Aniar an tábhacht atá le seachadadh na Gaeilge i measc páistí óga an cheantair agus imeachtaí cultúrtha a chur ar fáil dóibh le deiseanna sealbhuithe teanga a sholáthar dóibh ina measc comórtais aithriseoireachta. Tá an Ghaeilge anois ina teanga dhinimiciúil fhorásach ar féidir sult is taitneamh a bhaint aisti. Aithnítear go coiteanta go bhfuil Céim Aniar ar cheann de na tionscnaimh pobail is rathúla a a dhéanann meath na teanga sa Ghaeltacht a aisiompú.
