The Permanent Gaeltacht Project

Various North American Language Organizations have been involved in a project to purchase land for a permanent North American Irish speaking Gaeltacht, which has just been purchased this year.

The formal opening of the Gaeltacht was held on June 16th, 2007, with representation from Ireland, the Irish ambassador to Canada, the North American Chair of Comhaltas, and the Reeve of Stone Mills Township, among others.
