Home > Foras na Gaeilge

The Foras na Gaeilge has existed since December 2nd, 1999. The Good Friday Agreement stipulated that a body be created to oversee the furtherance of the Irish language (as well as a body to oversee the furtherance of the Ulster Scots language) across the political divide between the Republic and Northern Ireland. The body also serves an advisory role in both the public and private sectors in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, advising in matters pertaining to the Irish Language.
