'We have been contacted by numerous Irish-language communities and groups right across Ireland who are rightly worried and concerned about the future of their projects and their staff.' - Paula Melvin, uachtarán Chonradh na Gaeilge . Grianghraf: Alan Betson/The Irish Times
Under the arrangement, the Irish Government pays 75 per cent of the body’s annual budget, while Stormont pays 25 per cent. Paula Melvin, president of Conradh na Gaeilge, said: “Since this news broke yesterday morning, we have been contacted by numerous Irish-language communities and groups right across Ireland who are rightly worried and concerned about the future of their projects and their staff.
Community and advocacy groups have long criticised the current level of financial support for the Irish language as inadequate. They point to increasing public demand for Irish language services and the need to fulfill legislative requirements. “There are serious questions for both governments which will have long-term repercussions for the future of Foras na Gaeilge itself,” he said.
