Conradh na Gaeilge has proposed a “radical and new” plan to save the Irish language.
Efforts to promote the language have been a core part of State policy since independence a century ago.
He wants State funding for the language to rise from 0.17% to 0.4% and has a number of ideas about how it should be spent. As well as forming an important part of the Gaeltacht’s economy, summer colleges instil in many teenagers a love for the language they never knew they had before.
