Modern marketing tools must be used to promote Irish language

LAST year Fine Gael called for the official Irish language movement to be audited.

To his credit, Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Minister Eamon Ó Cuív has restructured the movement somewhat.

He has moved the Glór na nGael organisation to the heart of the Ráth Cairn Gaeltacht in Co Meath and he plans to convert the offices of Conradh na Gaeilge in Dublin into a new cultural centre.
