FORAS NA GAEILGE is the new body responsible for the promotion of
the Irish language throughout the whole island of Ireland. In the
Good Friday Agreement it was stated that a North/South Implementation
body be set up to promote both the Irish language and the Ulster
Scots language. Under the auspices of this body, Foras na Gaeilge
will carry out all the designated responsibilities regarding the
Irish language. This entails facilitating and encouraging in the
South, the speaking and writing of Irish in both public and private
arenas and in Northern Ireland where there is appropriate demand,
in the context of part three of the European Charter for Regional
and Minority Languages.
