Press Releases Innovation & Enterprise and the Irish Language are the two over-arching themes that underpin and guide the new Údarás na Gaeltachta 2018-2020 Strategic Plan. The plan outlines the organisations’ approach to the development of a vibrant, successful, sustainable Gaeltacht community and economy, thereby ensuring the position of the Irish language as the primary community language of the Gaeltacht. MAIN OBJECTIVES Among the main objectives outlined by the organisation for the next three years ahead are: o Increase the number of client companies engaged in exports by 10%; o 20% increase in client company exports and sales; o 15% increase in client company Research and Development expenditure; In addition to the main objectives the plan is also based on a series of Strategic Projects. STRATEGIC PROJECTS gteic – Gréasán Digiteach na Gaeltachta (Gaeltacht Digital Network) 30 innovation & digital hubs with highspeed broadband connectivity will be developed throughout the Gaeltacht as well as on 6 Gaeltacht Islands and 7 other off-shore Islands. These developments will give the Gaeltacht community an opportunity to return to or live in their home area by providing remote working opportunities at hot desks, co-working spaces or private offices at these hubs. This growing digital ecosystem will be an excellent opportunity for new technology companies an opportunity to establish or locate themselves in the rural areas which encompass the Gaeltacht. Páirc na Mara Páirc na Mara will be developed as a state of the art, low carbon marine innovation park, located on a greenfield site approximately 45 miles west of Galway City. In consultation with key strategic partners plans will be formulated on a collaborative basis that will enable Údarás na Gaeltachta to develop a modern marine innovation park to drive the growth of the sector and enable economic and employment growth in the area. It is envisaged that the development of Páirc na Mara will be an important enabler for the development of the marine industry as a whole, not only in the Conamara Láir area but on a regional and national level also. Branda na Gaeltachta (Gaeltacht Brand) Branda na Gaeltachta will act as a stamp of approval for everything that originates in the Gaeltacht and will be a visual representation of the vibrancy, enterprise, cultural richness and unique language and heritage of the Gaeltacht regions. Ireland’s Gaeltacht is a unique product, a first class product of a global standard which is based on the Gaeltacht’s language, culture, people and resources. The brand will be established to gain the best possible advantage from this Gaeltacht ‘product’ and to achieve the best possible potential for the region in terms of the development of resources and employment, and to attract mobile investment. Diaspóra na Gaeltachta This strategy will endeavor to encourage the emigrant Gaeltacht community abroad or in Ireland to return home to the Gaeltacht, their families and communities and, thereby, bolster the Irish language as a community language in those areas. It is hoped that a continual connection can be established with this national and international community in order to make them aware of the employment, living, social, language and cultural opportunities available in the Gaeltacht areas. The connection that is established and maintained with the Gaeltacht diaspora is important to promote the Gaeltacht as a region which is inspiring and innovative to live and work in. Tourism Management Development Scheme This initiative will support a range of strategic tourism projects in the Gaeltacht to assist those projects to add to their management, marketing, development and administrative capabilities. It is important for the tourism industry in the Gaeltacht that language, culture and the landscape including the rich Gaeltacht heritage is displayed as a central aspect of the development of products, services and the resources that are required to maximise the economic and employment benefit to the local communities. Referring to the organisation’s new strategy, Údarás na Gaeltachta Chairperson, Anna Ní Ghallachair, stated, “The newly appointed Board of Údarás na Gaeltachta is satisfied that we have a challenging and comprehensive strategic plan for implementation in the three years ahead. A core objective of Údarás is to support the linguistic, community, natural and cultural resources of the Gaeltacht and to develop these in line with the funding available to the organisation. This strategy must promote and strengthen the Irish language and the Gaeltacht community in order to foster stronger Irish-speaking communities. Significant challenges lie ahead of the organisation, which we will meet with enthusiasm and determination in order to ensure a Gaeltacht that is stronger both linguistically and as a community.” Údarás na Gaeltachta Chief Executive, Mícheál Ó hÉanaigh, stated “Údarás na Gaeltachta will have a specific focus on promoting innovation and enterprise in order to nourish the vibrant language communities throughout the Gaeltacht. We are targeting the approval of 1500 jobs during the plan period and the consolidation and development of the enterprise base. Particular attention will be placed on the development of human, natural, cultural and linguistic resources of the Gaeltacht and it is hope to encourage the Gaeltacht Diaspora and the skill they have to return to support and enhance Gaeltacht Communities.”

Preas Ráiteas Nuálaíocht & Fiontraíocht agus An Ghaeilge an dá théama uileghabhálach a chuimsíonn Plean Straitéiseach nua Údarás na Gaeltachta don tréimhse 2018-2020. Leagann an Plean Straitéiseach amach cur chuige na heagraíochta chun pobal agus geilleagar fuinniúil, rathúil, inbhuanaithe Gaeltachta a fhorbairt agus trí sin áit na Gaeilge mar phríomhtheanga phobal na Gaeltachta a chinntiú. PRÍOMHSPRIOCANNA Ar na príomhspriocanna atá leagtha amach ag an eagraíocht do na trí bliana seo romhainn tá: o Ardú 10% a chur le líon na gcliantchomhlachtaí atá i mbun easpórtála; o Easpórtáil agus díolacháin na gcliantchomhlachtaí a mhéadú 20%; o Caiteachas na gcliantchomhlachtaí ar Thaighde agus Forbairt a mhéadú 15%; I gcomhréir le príomhspriocanna an phlean tá sraith Tionscnaimh Straitéiseacha ar a bhfuil an plean bunaithe chomh maith. TIONSCNAIMH STRAITÉISEACHA gteic – Gréasán Digiteach na Gaeltachta Déanfar 30 aonad nuálaíochta agus digiteach le ceangal leathanbhanda ardluais a fhorbairt fud fad na Gaeltachta chomh maith le 6 oileán Gaeltachta agus 7 nOileán eile amach ón gcósta. Tabharfaidh na forbairtí seo deis do phobal na Gaeltachta filleadh uirthi nó fanacht ina gceantar féin trí dheiseanna cianoibre ag deasca sealaíochta, spásanna oibre comhionaid nó oifigí príobháideacha sna moil chéanna. Deis den scoth a bheidh san éiceachóras digiteach seo do chomhlachtaí nua teicneolaíochta tosú amach nó lonnú sna ceantair tuaithe a chuimsíonn na Gaeltachtaí. Páirc na Mara Déanfar Páirc na Mara, páirc nuálaíochta muirí íseal-charbóin nua-aimseartha a fhorbairt ar láthair tuairim is 45 míle siar ó Chathair na Gaillimhe. I gcomhairle le páirtithe straitéiseacha, cuirfear pleananna i dtoll a chéile ar bhun comhoibríoch, a chuirfidh ar chumas Údarás na Gaeltachta páirc nuálaíochta muirí chomhaimseartha a fhorbairt, chun fás san earnáil a chur chun cinn agus chun fás eacnamaíoch agus fostaíochta sa gceantar a chumasú. Samhlaítear go mbeidh forbairt Pháirc na Mara ina chumasóir tábhachtach i leith fhorbairt an tionscail mhuirí ina iomláine, ní hamháin i gceantar Chonamara Láir ach ar leibhéal réigiúnach agus ar leibhéal náisiúnta freisin. Branda na Gaeltachta Is éard atá i mBranda na Gaeltachta ná stampa aitheantais do gach rud a thionscnaítear sa nGaeltacht agus beidh mar léiriú físiúil ar an mbeocht, fiontraíocht, saibhreas cultúrtha, oidhreacht agus teanga uathúil atá sna réigiúin Ghaeltachta. Is táirge ar leith, táirge den chéad scoth ar chaighdeán domhanda é Gaeltacht na hÉireann atá bunaithe ar theanga, ar chultúr, ar dhaoine agus ar acmhainní na Gaeltachta. Forbrófar an branda chun gur féidir an úsáid is fearr a bhaint as an ‘táirge’ Gaeltachta seo agus an poitéinseal is fearr a bhaint amach don réigiún ó thaobh forbairt acmhainní, cruthú fostaíochta agus infheistíocht shoghluaiste a mhealladh. Diaspóra na Gaeltachta Beidh an straitéis seo ag súil le pobal na Gaeltachta atá ar imirce thar lear nó atá scaipthe ar fud na tíre a mhealladh ar ais chun na Gaeltachta, le tacú leis na pobail bhríomhara teanga agus cultúir a chothú. Táthar ag súil gur féidir ceangal leanúnach a dhéanamh leis an bpobal náisiúnta agus domhanda seo chun na deiseanna fostaíochta, maireachtála, sóisialta, teanga agus cultúir atá ar fáil sna ceantair Ghaeltachta a chur ar a súile dóibh. Tá an ceangal a dhéantar agus a chothaítear leis an diaspóra Gaeltachta tábhachtach chun an Ghaeltacht a chur chun cinn mar réigiún atá spreagúil agus nuálaíoch chun cónaí agus oibriú inti. Scéim Forbartha Bainistíochta Turasóireachta Tabharfar tacaíocht do réimse tograí straitéiseacha turasóireachta Gaeltachta sa tionscnamh seo chun cabhrú leis na tograí sin cur lena gcumas bainistíochta, margaíochta, forbartha agus feidhmiúcháin. Tá sé tábhachtach d’earnáil na turasóireachta sa Ghaeltacht go mbeidh léiriú ar theanga, ar chultúr, ar thimpeallacht agus ar oidhreacht shaibhir na Gaeltachta mar ghné lárnach i bhforbairt na dtáirgí, seirbhísí agus na hacmhainní atá riachtanach chun an oiread de luach eacnamaíochta agus fostaíochta a shaothrú chun tairbhe na bpobal áitiúil. Ag tagairt do straitéis nua na heagraíochta, deir Cathaoirleach Údarás na Gaeltachta, Anna Ní Ghallachair, “Tá Bord nuacheaptha Údarás na Gaeltachta sásta go bhfuil plean straitéiseach dúshlánach uileghabhálach againn le feidhmiú sna trí bliana seo romhainn. Tá sé mar bhunsprioc againn tacú le hacmhainní teanga, pobail, nádúrtha agus cultúrtha na Gaeltachta agus forbairt a dhéanamh orthu de réir an mhaoinithe a bhíonn ar fáil dúinn. Caithfear an Ghaeilge agus pobal na Gaeltachta a chur chun cinn agus a threisiú chun pobail labhartha Ghaeilge níos láidre a chothú. Tá dúshláin mhóra leagtha roimh an eagraíocht agus táimid ag tabhairt fúthu le díocas agus le tiomantas a chinnteoidh go mbeidh neartú agus saibhriú na Gaeltachta mar thoradh ar ár gcuid iarrachtaí.” Dúirt Mícheál Ó hÉanaigh, Príomhfheidhmeannach Údarás na Gaeltachta, “Sna trí bliana seo romhainn beidh fócas Údarás na Gaeltachta dírithe ar nuálaíocht agus fiontraíocht a chur chun cinn chun go gcothaítear na pobail bhríomhara teanga atá ar fud na Gaeltachta. Tá sé mar sprioc againn go gceadófar 1500 post i rith thréimhse an phlean agus go ndéanfar an bhunsraith fhiontraíochta a bhuanú agus a fhorbairt. Beidh aird faoi leith á thabhairt ar fhorbairt acmhainní daonna, nádúrtha, cultúrtha agus teanga na Gaeltachta agus beifear ag súil le Diaspóra na Gaeltachta agus na scileanna atá acu a mhealladh ar ais chun tacú agus cur le pobal na Gaeltachta.”
