Work has commenced on a new Irish Language Plan for the city under the direction of Dr John Walsh, Roinn na Gaeilge and Dr Dorothy Ní Uigín, Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, National University of Ireland, Galway. The Language Plan will further promote, support and increase the communicative use of the Irish language as a norm in everyday life as well as deliver on Galway’s status as Ireland’s Bilingual City.

Bank of Ireland Enterprising Towns Award
Galway was recently named as the Best City in Ireland in the Bank of Ireland Enterprising Towns Award and we were proud to be involved in this initiative in association with the Local Business community. We had an opportunity to meet with the adjudication panel when they visited the City and in our presentation, we highlighted the economic value of the Irish language to Galway as well as its importance to our uniqueness as a cultural, bilingual city. Gaillimh Abú!
