Le ceist a chur ar an bPríomh-Fheidhmeannach faoi na gníomhíochtaí agus na tionscnaimh atá pleanáilte do chéiliúradh 25 bliana na Comhairle Contae a bhfuil ról na Gaeilge mar ghné acu agus iarraidh ráiteas a dhéanamh ina leith. 

 

To ask the Chief Executive about those activities and projects planned for the Council’s 25th anniversary celebrations which will promote the Irish language, or will feature the Irish language, and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Déanfar ceiliúradh ar 25 bliain de Chomhairle Contae Átha Cliath Theas ar roinnt dhóigheanna, lena n-áirítear:

• Lógó saincheaptha a chruthú don Chomóradh 25
• Nuachtlitir do Shaoránaigh don Chomóradh 25 a fhoilsiú
• Feachtas sna meáin shóisialta – á reáchtáil ó mhí an Mheithimh go dtí mí na Nollag
• Ócáid chuimhneacháin a dhéanfaidh comóradh ar stair na Comhairle agus ina n-amharcfar ar a todhchaí amach anseo, lena n-áireofar fáiltiú le páirtithe leasmhara seachtracha, agus nochtadh plaic
• Lá Oscailte na Comhairle
• Plandáil crann 25 bliain

Tá roinnt imeachtaí inmheánacha foirne pleanáilte freisin, mar shampla nuachtlitir foirne ar théama 25 bliain a fhoilsiú agus imeachtaí eile.

Cé nach bhfuil aon imeacht sonrach Gaeilge beartaithe, bhí sliochta aistrithe i Nuachtlitir na Saoránach ó Chomhairle Mhéara Bhaile Átha Cliath Theas a bhí ag dul as oifig agus bainfear úsáid as poist Ghaeilge san fheachtas meán sóisialta. Cinnteoidh an Chomhairle freisin go mbeidh an Ghaeilge san áireamh sna hóráidí le linn na hócáide comórtha i mí Dheireadh Fómhair.

The 25^th anniversary of South Dublin County Council will be celebrated in a number of ways, which include:

• The creation of a custom 25^th Anniversary Logo
• Publishing a 25^th Anniversary themed Citizen’s Newsletter
• Social media campaign – Running from June through to December
• A commemorative event that will honour the history of the Council whilst looking to its future, which will include a reception with external stakeholders, and a plaque unveiling
• Council Open Day
• 25th Anniversary tree planting

There are also a number of internal staff events planned, such as the publishing of a 25^th anniversary theme staff newsletter and other events.

Whilst there is no specific Irish language event planned, the Citizen’s Newsletter included a translated piece from the outgoing Mayor of South Dublin County Council and Irish language posts will be used in the social media campaign. The Council will also ensure that Irish is included in the speeches during the commemorative event in October.
