There is an ever-increasing awareness of the Gaeltacht’s culture and heritage. The language has played a very important role in the continuation of the Gaeltacht’s unique culture and heritage, and the spoken language contains the collective memory of a community and its way of life.
Údarás na Gaeltachta’s support for Cultural Events in the Gaeltacht focuses mostly upon community based cultural projects and there is also a particular emphasis on Irish language events. Among the projects we support are:
-
Festivals
-
Cultural events
-
Exhibitions and openings
-
Publications
-
Literary events
-
Drama
-
Seminars
-
Educational workshops.
Our financial support ensures that valuable community cultural activities are encouraged and developed and that the Irish language is promoted within these events.
