Irish language network
Líonraí Gaeilge is the Irish language term for Irish Language Networks. The Gaeltacht Act 2012 legislatively allowed for the formal designation, outside of the traditional Irish-speaking areas or Gaeltacht, by Foras na Gaeilge and Údarás na Gaeltachta in Ireland, where the Irish language is sufficiently strong enough in their opinion for areas to be formal Líonraí Gaeilge or Irish Language Networks. In February 2018 Foras na Gaeilge announced that five areas- Belfast, Loughrea, Carn Tóchair, Ennis and Clondalkin- were going to be designated as the first Líonraí Gaeilge subject to the committees in the networks co-formulating and adopting approved Irish language plans.[1] [2] Foras na Gaeilge have said that they expect to designate other areas outside the Gaeltacht as Líonraí Gaeilge in the future also.[3]
