Fondúireacht Sheosamh Mhic Dhonnacha
Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha is a support service provided by Glór na nGael and the Gaelic Athletic Association to GAA clubs wishing to further the Irish Language in their community. Most clubs have been promoting the Irish language in some form or another.
The Foundation helps to develop that promotion in a more measured and planned fashion. Glór na nGael offers help to the Oifigeach Gaeilge to give them direction, support and ideas to build on the good work that has already been done within the club. Grants are available from the Fondúireacht to help realise your plans and medals will be awarded to clubs for various levels of achievement in promotion of the language.
