What your organisation does

Glór na Móna is a community development organisation that works on two levels. Firstly, promoting Irish through educational, recreational, social and cultural events and secondly, developing services for the local Irish language community. We provide a wide range of services for all agegroups within the Irish language community, it is recognised

that services in this sector fall fewer than those provided within the English speaking sector. Through ownership of the language, a sense of pride is instilled in the community adding to the promotion of a social and cultural economic life offering new ways of tackling old issues such as inter generational unemployment and under achievement in exams. Glór na Mona’s mission is to support and develop the language within the area.
