A new five-year plan has been published by Foras na Gaeilge.

Plean úr cúig bliana foilsithe ag Foras na Gaeilge.

Foras na Gaeilge, the cross-border statutory organisation responsible for a wide range of Irish language services across Ireland, has published a new five- year plan.

Tá plean úr cúig bliana foilsithe ag Foras na Gaeilge, an eagraíocht reachtúil trasteorann atá freagrach as réimse leathan seirbhísí Gaeilge ar fud na hÉireann.

Foras na Gaeilge says that the organisation's Strategic Direction 2025-2030 has been compiled "as a result of a consultation on public opinion ...

Deir Foras na Gaeilge go bhfuil Treo Straitéiseach 2025-2030 na heagraíochta curtha i dtoll a chéile "mar thoradh ar chomhairliúchán ar thuairimí an phobail ...

"with the aim of identifying the organisation's work priorities for the coming years at a high strategic level".

agus é mar aidhm aige tosaíochtaí oibre na heagraíochta do na blianta seo romhainn a aithint ag ardleibhéal straitéiseach".

To achieve this ambition, the document states, "appropriate provision of resources, both budget and staff, is necessary, and greater awareness is needed among the public regarding the vision and mission of the organisation".

Leis an uaillmhian sin a bhaint amach, a deirtear sa cháipéis, is gá "soláthar cuí acmhainní a bheith ar fáil, idir bhuiséad agus fhoireann, agus teastaíonn tuilleadh feasachta i measc an phobail maidir le fís agus misean na heagraíochta".

However, Chair of Foras na Gaeilge, Professor Regina Ó Chollatáin, said that the organisation's income had fallen by 45% since 2008 "even though the demand for our support has been increasing over time and we are unable to meet it".

Dúirt Cathaoirleach Fhoras na Gaeilge, an tOllamh Regina Uí Chollatáin, áfach, go raibh titim de 45 faoin gcéad in ioncam na heagraíochta ó 2008 "cé go bhfuil an t-éileamh ar ár dtacaíocht ag méadú i gcaitheamh an ama agus ní féidir linn freastal air".

She indicated that "we will work at the highest level with both Governments to agree a long-term sustainable funding plan to enable the major objectives of this Strategic Direction to be achieved".

Thug sí le fios "go n-oibreoimid ag an leibhéal is airde leis an dá Rialtas chun plean fadtéarmach inbhuanaithe maoinithe a aontú chun gur féidir mórchuspóirí an Treo Straitéisigh seo a bhaint amach".

It is a great help to that, she said, that the organization has a full board for the first time in years.

Is mór an cúnamh chuige sin, arsa sí, bord iomlán a bheith ag an eagraíocht den chéaduair le blianta.

Four major objectives are set out in the Strategic Direction: "Capability: Through pre-school, Irish-medium education, English-medium schools, higher education and adult learners, we will support the learner's journey from start to finish.

Ceithre mhórchuspóir a leagtar amach sa Treo Straitéiseach: "Cumas: Tríd an réamhscolaíocht, Gaeloideachas, scoileanna Bhéarla, ollscolaíocht agus foghlaimeoirí fásta, tacóimid le haistear an fhoghlaimeora ó thús deiridh.

The establishment of nurseries, the Gaelbhratach project and a Policy for Irish-medium Education will be among our priorities to support learners.

Beidh bunú naíolann, tionscadal Gaelbhratach agus Polasaí don Oideachas Lán-Ghaeilge i measc ár dtosaíochtaí le tacú le foghlaimeoirí.

The southern target of 20% of civil service recruits speaking Irish will be supported by enabling students to be proficient in Irish in their working lives.

Tacófar leis an sprioc ó dheas go mbeidh Gaeilge ag 20 faoin gcéad d’earcaigh na státseirbhíse trí mhic léinn a chumasú le bheith inniúil sa Ghaeilge ina saol oibre.

Foras na Gaeilge has made a major investment in lexicography and terminology over the past 25 years.

Tá infheistíocht mhór déanta ag Foras na Gaeilge i gcúrsaí foclóireachta agus téarmaíochta le 25 bliain...
