The Placenames\u2019 Committee is an initiative founded in 1992 with Galway City Council as a response to what one former Minister of the Environment referred to as \u2018The Tuscany Downs Syndrome\u2019 \u2013 new housing estates given names such as \u2018Tuscany Downs\u2019, that had no relevance to the location, history or language of the area. The Placenames\u2019 Committee was set up to provide developers with suitable Irish names for new housing developments in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Approach: Culturally relevant and inclusive<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||6px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The approach the Committee has adopted is that the names they suggest are in Irish only but simple enough that a non-Irish speaking person can easily pronounce them. New residential developments that have been named by the Committee include Cluain\u00edn \u2013 Cluneen (Little Meadow), S\u00e1il\u00edn \u2013 Saw lean (Little Heel), An Log\u00e1n \u2013 An Lug On (Little Hollow) and Lu\u00ed na Gr\u00e9ine \u2013 Lee na Grain Ya (Setting of the Sun). Not only do the names effectively describe the location of the development, but they also contribute towards creating a bilingual environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today 99% of new housing estates in Galway city are named in Irish. Other parts of Ireland are also following Galway\u2019s example by setting up similar committees in their own areas.<\/span><\/p>\n
