Tá Ionad Uíbh Eachach – cumann oideachas pobail agus iarscoile Gaeilge – ag déanamh éascaíochta do chúrsaí ceithre seachtaine d’oibrithe san earnáil pobail agus deonach ag díriú ar an Ghaeilge a thabhairt isteach san áit oibre.

Tá an eagraíocht chun tosaigh ar athbheochan na Gaeilge i bpobal Bhéal Feirste le blianta agus is uirlis tacaíochta ríluachmhar iad do pháistí óga ag freastal ar Ghaelscoil na bhFál agus dá dtuismitheoirí. Soláthraíonn siad cúram iarscoile, créche agus cúram lae, ranganna Gaeilge agus i bhfad níos mó.

Anois tá Ionad Uíbh Eachach ag tabhairt na Gaeilge chuig an earnáil pobail mhór.

Ionad

Ionad Uíbh Eachach - an Irish Language afterschool and education community group in Belfast, supported by Foras na Gaeilge - is facilitating four week courses for workers in the community and voluntary sector aimed at introducing the Irish Language into the workplace. 

The organisation has been at the front of the Irish language revival in the Belfast community for many years and is a priceless support tool for young children attending Gaelscoil Na BhFál, and their parents. It provides afterschool care, crèche and day care, Irish language classes and much more.

Now Ionad Uíbh Eachach is bringing the Irish language to the wider community sector.

Ciaran Mac Giolla Bhéin - of UNISON'S community and voluntary Irish language department has welcomed this development and encourages all members in the community sector to avail of this opportunity.

"It is important that the organisations that are part of the community reflect the dynamics of that community. Belfast has the fastest growing Irish language population in Ireland. It one of the largest Gaeltachtaí in the country and continues to grow as such."

"We in UNISON's community and voluntary sector branch should be cognisant of that and do our best to accommodate the growing Irish language population within the workplaces and community organisations of which they are a crucial part."

"I welcome this opportunity and encourage our members and the wider community to avail of the services Ionad Uíbh Eachach are providing us."

For further information on course time and availability contact Diarmuid at Ionad Uíbh Eachach on diarmuid@ionad.eu or (028) 90 329180.
