Gaeilge i CMLOÉG:

 

• Stráitéis na Gaeilge - Tá a lán rudaí le baint amach sa straitéis iontach seo agus ba mhaith liom níos mó a chur leis ionas go bhfuil sé in oiriuínt do ról lán-aimseartha

Pobal:

 

• Ba mhaith liom mic léinn na hollscoile a nascadh le pobal na Gaeilge agus le pobal Gaeilge na cathrach
• Dhéanfainn seo tríd nasc a chruthú le heagraíochtaí eagsúla, m/shp:
  • Conradh na Gaeilge
  • Áras na nGael
  • An Dream Dearg
  • Gaillimh le Gaeilge. srl.
• Tá an Comhaltas anois mar Chraobh de chuid Chonradh na Gaeilge; ba mhaith liom an nasc seo a neartú, chomh maith le nasc a chothú le craobhacha eile de chuid an Chonartha
• Cearta Teanga - Obair le Leas Uachtarán don Ghaeilge i AMLÉ le cinntiú go bhfuil eolas ag daoine faoina gcearta teanga agus iad i measc an phobail
• Lámhleabhar - Gaeilgeoir Starter Pack le heolas faoi na hachmhainní phobail atá ar fáil dóibh chun a gcuid Gaeilge a úsáid agus a chleachtadh

 

Community:

 

• I want to connect NUIG students with the Gaeilge community both on a national level and locally in Galway City
• I would do this by establishing relationships with different organisations such as:
  • Conradh na Gaeilge
  • Áras na nGael
  • An Dream Dearg
  • Gaillimh le Gaeilge (etc.)
• CMLOÉG is now a branch of Conradh na Gaeilge, but there is still more to be done. I want to strengthen this relationship as well as develop connections with branches in other parts of the world
• Language Rights - I want to work with the Leas-Uachtarán don Ghaeilge in USI to ensure that students understand their rights in terms of the language
• I want to develop a ‘Gaeilgeoir Starter Pack’ that will include information on opportunities to speak Irish / community resources that are available to learners

Bunchloch:

 

Is ollmhór an rud é go mbeidh an chéad Leas-Uachtarán don Ghaeilge againn i CMLOÉG agus measaim go mbeidh sé ar cheann de na príomhdhualgaisí agam na bunclocha a leagadh don ról úrnua seo.

 

• Coistí a bhunú agus suíocháin a fháil ar choistí reachtúla
• Caidreamh a chruthú le hOifigigh Gaeilge eile timpeall na tíre
• Caidreamh a bhunú le hOifigigh thar lear atá ag obair ar theangacha
• Cumarsáid rialta a bheith agam le hOifigeach Gaeilge na hOllscoile
• Straitéis na Gaeilge sa Chomhaltas a neartú
• Grúpaí fócais a reachtáil chun an stráitéis theanga a leathnú

 

Foundation:

 

It’s a very big deal that the first Vice-President for Gaeilge will be with CMLOÉG and I feel that one of my main responsibilities will be setting the foundation for the role. I would do this by:

 

• Establishing committees and getting a seat governing committees
• Creating strong relationships with other Gaeilge officers
• Creating strong relationships with officers abroad working with languages
• Having regular communication with the current university Gaeilge officer
• Broadening the current Union Gaeilge Strategy
• Focus groups to broaden the language strategy

Aidhmeanna Eile:

 

• Ba mhaith liom obair go dlúth leis an gCumann Gaelach chun plean ceart don Ghaeilge a chur i mbun don bhliain
• Ba mhaith liom níos mó deiseanna a chur ar fáil do mhic léinn idirnáisiúnta an Ghaeilge a úsáid agus a fhoghlaim
• Ranganna Gaeilge a chur ar fáil atá in oiriúint do dhaoine faoi mhíchumas
• Cinntiú go bhfuil scéim chónaithe chaoi agus obair leis an scéim sin chun imeachtaí maithe agus mealltacha a chur ar siúl
• Líon na ndaoine atá ag úsáid na Gaeilge ag Comhairle agus ag cruinnithe an Choiste Gnó a mhéadú
• Spás compórdach a chruthú do dhaoine Gaeilge a úsáid/cleachtadh

 

 

Final Goals:

• I want to provide more opportunities for internationals students to use/learn Gaeilge
• Ensure that Irish classes that are suitable for students with disabilities
