MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 28

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

Go n-iarrann an Coiste Ceantair seo go leanfar le cur ar fáil cúrsaí foghlama Gaeilge ar feadh na bliana ar fad i leabharlanna an Chontae agus ar-líne. That the Area Committee requests for the continuation provision of Irish learning courses for the entire year in County libraries and online

REPORT:

 " Irish language courses are available at any time online through our Transparent Languages service available on the Library page of SDCC's website. All you need is a membership card, which can also be taken out online. The courses are very good and have native speakers and also give you a chance to practice speaking the language and test yourself. We also run Irish language courses online with facilitators at set times, which need to be booked through Eventbright, and currently we have two beginner's and two improver's courses running in Irish. Details of these courses are given in the library report update to Councillors each month. We anticipate that we will continue to run Irish language courses and we would hope to have 'in person' events in our branch libraries when current restrictions allow".
