Description:
The Gaeltacht (areas where Irish is the community language) includes large parts of counties Galway, Mayo, Donegal and Kerry, and smaller areas in counties Cork, Waterford and Meath. Údarás na Gaeltachta is the government agency responsible for promoting the economic and social development of these areas, working to preserve and maintain the daily and widespread use of the Irish language. They are a valuable resource for any issues pertaining to the Gaeltacht, or to the Irish language.
