Highlights of the 2024 Language Planning Conference - Buaicphointí na Comhdhála Pleanála Teanga 2024

It is nearly ten years since the current language planning process was initiated in Ireland, inside and outside the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking regions). It was a great honour for Foras na Gaeilge, and a highlight of the year, to organise the Language Planning Conference 2024 and to celebrate this milestone. The conference took place over two days in Croke Park, Dublin.

There were keynote speeches with Professor Emeritus Dónall P. Ó Baoill, and Dr Laoise Ní Dhúda, Language Planning Officer for Maigh Eo Thuaidh, as well as a range of speaking panels on various topics. Three international guest speakers were also in attendance sharing their views and experiences. Over hundred and seventy people from all over the island attended the event.

Foras na Gaeilge would like to thank the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media for funding the event, and Údarás na Gaeltachta and An Mheitheal Náisiúnta Pleanála Teanga for their input to the conference organising committee.

Tá beagnach deich mbliana ann ó cuireadh tús leis an bpróiseas pleanála teanga reatha in Éirinn, laistigh den Ghaeltacht agus lasmuigh di. Ba mhór an onóir d’Fhoras na Gaeilge é, agus buaicphointe na bliana é, Comhdháil Pleanála Teanga 2024 a eagrú leis an gcloch mhíle seo a cheiliúradh. Bhí an chomhdháil ar siúl ar feadh dhá lá, i bPáirc an Chrócaigh, Baile Átha Cliath.

Bhí eochairchainteanna ann leis an Ollamh Emeritus Dónall P. Ó Baoill, agus leis an Dr Laoise Ní Dhúda, Oifigeach Pleanála Teanga Mhaigh Eo Thuaidh, chomh maith le réimse painéil chainte ar ábhair éagsúla. Bhí triúr aoichainteoirí idirnáisiúnta i láthair chomh maith lena dtuairimí agus a n-eispéireas siúd a roinnt. Breis is céad is seachtó duine ó gach cearn den oileán a bhí i láthair aige.

Gabhann Foras na Gaeilge buíochas leis an Roinn Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus na Meán as an ócáid a mhaoiniú, agus le hÚdarás na Gaeltachta agus leis an Meitheal Náisiúnta Pleanála Teanga as a n-ionchur ar choiste eagrúcháin na comhdhála.
