INTERESTING- number of TD's and Senators who went to Guth na Gaeltachta Info Day

DJP · 11-10-2010 2:13pm #1

Guth na Gaeltachta ("Voice of the Gaeltacht") and Conradh na Gaeilge organisted an Information Day in Buswells Hotel last Wednesday 6th October. They also organisted one last year. The events gave TD's and Senators the opportunity to come over to the hotel to support the Guth na Gaeltachta campaign and to stay abreast with developments nationally in relation to the Irish language and the Gaeltacht. They are lobbying TD's and Senators to show their support for 1) the opposition to the proposal that Udarás na Gaeltachta will end and be merged with Enterprise Ireland and 2) that Pat Carey implements all the 33 recommendations of the Joint-Oireachtas Committee on the first ever 20 Year National Strategy for the Irish Language.

82 politicians went over to the hotel to show their support for the campaign. Presumably many others support the campaign but were unable to attend. I know Rónan Mullen for example was in Brussels. Here is the list of TD's and Senators who attended.
