Developing a comprehensive policy and strategy to enhance and protect the development of the Irish Language In 2006, the St Andrews Act 2006 was passed at Westminster. It places a duty upon the NI Assembly Executive to adopt a strategy ‘to enhance and protect the development of the Irish language.’ On 7th March 2008 POBAL organised a Conference in the Europa Hotel, Belfast to form a strategy for the promotion of the Irish Language. Language experts Sigve Gramstad, Vice-chairperson of the Committee of Experts on the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages at the Council of Europe, Meirion Prys Jones, Chief Executive of the Welsh Language Board and Dòmhnall Màrtainn, former CEO of Comunn na Gàidhlig in Scotland attended to speak to the well attended conference. Representatives from the Irish Language community and other interested bodies were in attendance also. Workshops on the day dicussed and gathered ideas in this regard. As a result of the conference POBAL produced it’s document, ‘Developing a Comprehensive Policy and Strategy to Enhance and Protect the Development of the Irish Language’.

Ag forbairt polasaí cuimsitheach agus straitéise le chur chun cinn na Gaeilge a fheabhsú agus a chosaint In 2006, reachtaíodh Acht Chill Rímhinn ag Westminster. Cruthaíonn sé dualgas don Tionól glacadh le straitéis ‘ le forbairt na Gaeilge a fheabhsú agus a chosaint.’ Ar 7ú Márta 2008 d’eagraigh POBAL in Óstán an Europa, Béal Feirste le cur le chéile straitéis don Ghaeilge. D’oscail Aire Cultúir, Ealaíon agus Fóillíochta Edwin Poots an comhdháil go hoifigiúil agus bhí freastal an-mhaith air. Tháinig saineolaithe teanga mór le rá, Sigve Gramstad, Leas-Chathaoirleach Choiste na Saineolaithe ar Chairt na hEorpa do Theangacha Réigiúnda nó Mionlaigh de chuid Chomhairle na hEorpa, Meirion Prys Jones, Príomhfheidhmeannach Bhord na Breatnaise agus Dòmhnall Màrtainn, iar-Phríomhfheidheamannach Chomunn na Gàidhlig in Albain, chomh maith le hionadaithe ó phobal na Gaeilge agus páirtithe leasmhara eile. Reáchtáil muid ceardlanna le smaointí a phlé agus a bhailiú ar an ábhar. Mar thoradh ar an chomhdháil d’fhoilsigh POBAL a chaipéis ‘Ag Forbairt Polasaí Cuimsitheach agus Straitéise le Chur Chun Cinn na Gaeilge a Fheabhsú agus a Chosaint’. Tá cóip den cháipéis seo ar fáil anseo POBAL 13-3ú urlár Muileann Abhainn Bheara 81 Bóthar Chluanaí Béal Feirste BT12 7AE R-phoist: eolas@pobal.org Tá POBAL ina chuideachta faoi theorainn ráthaíochta.
