First Ever Údarás na Gaeltachta Board meeting held today on Tory Island.
Today for the first time, the board of Údarás na Gaeltachta held a meeting on Tory Island.
Board chairperson, Anna Ní Ghallachair said it gave the board great pleasure to convene a meeting on the island.
Ní Ghallachair said the board was strongly of the view that it was important to visit the offshore islands and thereby assess developments there.
She said “Toraigh is a jewel and one of the strongest Irish-speaking areas in the country.
“The island community continues an ancient tradition of song and storytelling and Údarás na Gaeltachta has a
responsibility to facilitate them, so that they can make a living on the island and maintain
and strengthen their culture, not only for themselves but for all of Ireland.”
